Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is underway and today is your last chance to cash in on the online retailer’s early holiday savings event. There are great deals to be found — primarily on Amazon-branded products, with up to 70% off Amazon devices including the Echo ($59.99) and Echo Dot ($17.99), Echo Show ($69.99), Kindle Paperwhite ($134.99) and Fire TVs (starting at $299.99). And if you’re in the market for a laptop, you can get up to  $200 off Apple MacBook Air M1 laptops.  Of course, if there are household basics you’re in the market for that can’t wait until the Black Friday frenzy, it’s also worth checking out what’s available. I was stoked to see this mini KitchenAid stand mixer was more than $100 off — no matter the size of your apartment, you can be Star Baker without too much strain on your wallet (any GBBO fans?).

You do need to be a Prime member to get these savings, however (new users can take advantage of the 30-day free trial — just remember to unsubscribe if you’re done after your free month, *wink wink*).  To help you navigate this surprise “second Prime Day,” we’ve put together 20 of the best deals you can get on day two below — including a 20% off Grubhub coupon if shopping makes you as hungry as I am right now (she says, ordering a large sub). Prime members also get a year of Grubhub+ for free! I’ve also included selections I will be shopping for, as well as products I already own, recommend and love. Happy shopping! 

Don’t ask me why but the light blue version of this awesome Bissell air purifier is nearly 47% off. Because I’m practically allergic to the air we breathe, I’ve picked up four of these to scatter through my apartment and keep both my and my fur-baby’s dander at bay. It has an average 4.7 out of 5 star rating with over 8,000 ratings.

I absolutely love my KitchenAid Mixer. I’ve always loved cooking but this has taken my baking skills to the next level. At 3.5-quarts, this is a smaller model than the Professional series but is ideal for solo dwellers or folks with small urban kitchens. And at 32% off, this is a great deal. It comes in nine colors so you can match your decor and boasts a 4.8 out of 5 star rating with over 2,600 ratings.

With the return to work leaving many pandemic pets home alone for longer periods of time, this pet camera allows you to check in on your furry friends — and dispense a treat remotely. It comes with nearly 60 days of local storage to save funny moments you “missed” while away. This camera gets an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars with over 300 ratings.

We could all probably drink a little more water, and in my opinion, there’s no better reusable water bottle on the market than the Hydro Flask. This bottle is great if you really want your water to be cold — which let’s face it, who doesn’t — with TempShield insulation that keeps beverages cold up to 24 hours and hot up to 12 hours. It comes in 9 colors and has an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars.

To err is human. But nobody enjoys getting shamed by your dentist for not flossing (guilty). I discovered this water flosser during the pandemic and I’m hooked. My teeth look so much cleaner to me and I don’t have to worry about cutting off the circulation of my fingers to floss. Plus, let’s be real, it hurts a lot less. This flosser has an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars with over 48,000 ratings.

Fellow bass heads know that portable Bluetooth speakers can be pretty lacking in that department. This little waterproof Sony portable speaker packs a serious punch and has up to 16 hours of battery life. It also comes in five fun colors and has an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars with over 12,200 ratings.

If you’re looking for a way to zoom around, this foldable and lightweight Segway scoote, with nine-inch tires is significantly marked down. This little scooter can reach up to 12.4 MPH — and at 28 pounds is portable and can also easily fit in the back of your car.

More than 24 hours of listening time with charging case, with quick access to Siri. Easily share audio between two sets of AirPods on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV

Save up to 50% on blockbuster movies and more
