Amazon’s October Prime Day—called Prime Big Deal Days—is starting in mere hours! I’m a fan of this particular Amazon event for two reasons: I can usually get that deal I wanted and missed thanks to procrastination back in July during the summer Amazon event, and second, I get a preliminary start on my holiday shopping.Â
But you don’t have to wait until the event officially kicks off to get massive discounts and hard-to-find deals on coveted items. Shop brands like Brooks, Le Creuset, Breville, Ninja and more and save up to 45%.Â
