People / Madison Woiten
As a shopping editor, I’ve been spending weeks filling up my cart in preparation of Amazon’s first-ever Prime Big Deal Days — which is set to kick off on October 10 and 11. Although the big day hasn’t quite arrived, there are already a slew of discounts happening at Amazon, including a number of things I’m buying right now.
Today, I’m purchasing something in just about every category, including beauty gifts for the holidays, cozy fall fashion essentials, stainless steel skillets, and luggage for an impending trip. Prices start at just $10 for my picks, with discounts up to a whopping 57 percent off. These deals are just as good as what I expect to see in a few weeks, so hop on them before they sell out — or worse, the deal expires.

My old vacuum cleaner simply isn’t cutting it anymore — and it’s about time I purchased a Dyson anyway. I’ve been eyeing the Dyson V11 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for awhile now, and since it’s $100 off, I can’t wait any longer. The powerful vacuum offers three cleaning modes and a de-tangling motorbar that works on both hard surfaces and carpets, and it even converts into a handheld device. Once fully charged, it can run for up to 60 minutes at a time, giving me plenty of time to operate it in my apartment.
It should come as no surprise that shoppers love the vacuum, with five-star reviewers noting that it makes “chores effortless” and adding that hair doesn’t get stuck in the roller. One user enthused, “Everyone will be fighting for their chance to use it.”
All-Clad Stainless Steel Skillet, $120 (Save $10)

I’ve grown tired of tossing out nonstick skillets bi-annually, once the coating has been picked over. If treated right, a stainless steel skillet will last a lifetime, so I’m opting for the All-Clad Stainless Steel Skillet, which comes with a matching lid. The 12-inch skillet is the perfect size for all my sautéing and frying needs, and the double riveted handles are designed to be comfortable in my hand. Plus, it’s compatible in the oven and broiler up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and any stovetop, including induction.
The Amazon’s choice skillet has picked up nearly 6,000 perfect ratings. Shoppers say that it’s “used almost every day of the week,” with one writing, “Once you get the hang of it, cooking with stainless is an absolute joy.”
Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones, $129 (Save 35%)

Right now, I need an extra pair of headphones that aren’t just my beloved Apple AirPods Pro. I’m into the Beats Solo3 Wireless Headphones, since they offer crisp sound, 40 hours of battery life, cushioned ear cups, and an easy fold up design — so they won’t take up too much space in my carry-on luggage. The headphones can also be controlled on the side, allowing you to skip, pause, and play songs, plus answer calls.
Over 55,000 Amazon shoppers have given the headphones a five-star rating, with users saying that the “sound is amazing” and adding that they’re “perfect for traveling.” Another reviewer wrote: “The noise cancellation in these is everything.”
