The 10 Best Prime Early Access Sales
Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday tend to feel like a chaotic dash to grab as much as you can on sale. It can be overwhelming and stressful, which makes this event a smart way to shop. You can start your holiday gift shopping extra early and save in the process. Plus, there are tons of Thanksgiving and holiday hosting must-haves, which will ensure you’re ready for all of the festivities to come in the next few months. Apple AirPods, Roomba robot vacuum cleaners, and Nespresso coffee makers are just a few items that tend to be popular holiday gifts every year and also tend to go on sale for Black Friday, and they’re all included in this big event. And there’s more. There are all kinds of products on sale that also come with impressive savings, but won’t cost you as much. In fact, Stasher’s silicone reusable food storage bags, Kasa’s top-rated smart plug sets, Apple AirTags, and Anastasia Beverly Hills’ eyeshadow palettes are all included in the event—and they’re all going for under $50. And beyond early holiday shopping, there are plenty of everyday essentials and more basic items that you can get for less. Organic cotton sheet sets, comfortable wire-free bras from True and Co., and even Crest 3D Professional Effects whitestrips are all discounted. Fall and winter clothing is another huge category that’s on sale. All kinds of must-haves, like cozy sweaters, warm coats, and comfy boots are marked down. And if you get them now, you’ll score savings and be able to use them all season long. The perfect example: Under Armour’s ColdGear Authentics leggings. If you like to walk or workout outside, these extra warm leggings will ensure you’re more comfortable when temperatures drop. And you don’t have to wait until an end-of-season sale to get them for less.
