Early deals we are shopping now and everything to know about the October Big Deal Days sale

Never mind that it’s a previous-generation model: iPads hold their value, and this iteration is one of the best tablets you can buy, period — especially at this heavily discounted price. A price break of $130 is significant, but that markdown is even more eye-catching when you consider this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is the absolute lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — we highly recommend grabbing it while it’s 40% off. 

Listen up: Our senior tech writer, Rick Broida, has spent the past two decades testing (and testing, and re-testing) hundreds of earbuds. So, when he’s surprised by just how good a $40 pair performs, you need to check them out ASAP. When he tested some of the best earbuds on the market, he named this pair the best budget option, praising their sound quality and noise-canceling abilities. And this wallet-friendly option just got even more budget-friendly, currently down to $20 — the lowest we’ve ever seen them.

Take your bird-watching to the next level via this nifty handheld telescope.

Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once. Oh, and this top-seller is so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor. We’ve yet to see it on sale for less.

Check out our tech editor’s roundup of the products he can’t live without for gadgets and gizmos aplenty.

These second-gen top-sellers have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings, thanks to their clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and convenient cord-free design. Apple is an in-demand brand that doesn’t need to have sales, so when it does, it’s worth taking note.

This No. 1 bestselling, solar-fueled charging bank packs 42,000mAh of power into its (admittedly) bulky frame, and even includes a flashlight that can run continuously for up to 100 hours. Plan on going camping this year? You’d be wise to pack this juuust in case. The starting price is heavily inflated, but you’re still getting it for close to as low as we’ve seen with this deal. 

Ready to do some Apple picking? You don’t even have to drive to the orchard — just head over to Amazon and grab this lightweight MacBook Air while it’s on sale for a tidy discount. Don’t be deterred by the fact that this isn’t the newest model on the market; it still boasts up to 18 hours of use per charge, a vivid 13.6-inch display and weighs only 2.7 pounds for easy toting. If you’ve been meaning to upgrade from your snail-like computer, it would be wise to act quickly.

You can’t really put a price on having real peace of mind, but we’ll take 40% off!

This No. 1 bestselling AquaSonic smart toothbrush hunts down and eliminates plaque. Its motor delivers 82,000 vibrations per minute and removes up to 10 times more buildup than an ordinary toothbrush. 

With the brush, you also get an extra eight brush heads — each one should last you about three months, so eight should last you just over two years! No more shelling out piles of cash for replacement heads. The included travel case makes it easy to bring along on your next adventure, too.

With keratin, collagen and biotin, this spray promises to boost and strengthen fine and thin hair. Big names like Kyle Richards of Real Housewives fame also love the spray: “I will never not use [it] again,” she said on a recent Amazon livestream.

If you’d like fuller-looking tresses, choosing hair products formulated with biotin can help strengthen thinning hair and even promote growth. This duo contains powerhouse ingredients like camellia extract for shine and caffeine and niacinamide to improve blood circulation. This is close to the lowest price we’ve ever seen.

Shoppers say this flowy fall essential “looks like a high-end cashmere,” but it costs a fraction of the price. The elegant turtleneck design gives it an even more expensive appearance and will keep things nice and toasty on chillier days; plus, you can’t go wrong with that over-50% discount. 

In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin has never crossed your mind, take it from a slew of Amazon shoppers — it’s effective! This top-rated serum was purchased by over 100,000 people in the past month alone, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots.

Buying a pair of cozy slippers shouldn’t make you go, “Ugh” — or “Ugg,” for that matter. Amazon customers say these budget-friendly booties stack up against the pricey brand for way less. Treat your feet to these fleece-lined finds before the temps dip!

Check out our roundup of the best slippers for additional options. 

This bestselling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. We also love what it doesn’t contain: The eye cream is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic, which means it won’t clog pores.

We spotted Michelle Pfeiffer wearing a black turtleneck nearly identical to this one, which is currently on sale for the lowest price we’ve seen — just $24 with the on-page coupon! This classic piece will be perfect for layering under your fall jackets and, when the time comes, your winter puffer. Reviewers like that it’s “not too tight.”

This multitasker will help your summer glow last long into fall. On her website, Martha Stewart revealed the 14 beauty products she “swears by,” and this glow-enhancing priming lotion is near the top of the list. Her trusted makeup artist of many years, Daisy Toye, said she applies it to Martha’s face after SPF to add dewiness and create “a smooth canvas for makeup.” 

Infused with glycerin and shea butter, the lotion aims to hydrate and moisturize skin while enhancing its natural glow. Choose from five shades (prices vary slightly).

These patches use plant-based collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin underneath your eyes. They also have a cooling effect to brighten tired eyes, which can give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. As the brand itself says, “It’s like an energy drink for your eyes!” Celebs like Leona Lewis also use the eye masks to retain their youthful glow.

Wild Growth’s plant-based formula, which includes olive, coconut and jojoba oils, works to promote hair growth and hair strength safely and naturally. Along with encouraging hair to grow longer and stronger, the oil also works to soften and detangle hair and reduce blow-drying time, which also helps reduce heat damage done to locks in the process of styling.

Thousands of Amazon shoppers love these sturdy containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. They’re made of glass — but not just any glass. We’re talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles. Not only does it conveniently allow you to see what’s packed inside, but it’s oven-safe up to 1,040°F and can go in the microwave without a lid. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won’t get to right away.

When we tried out the Craftsman V20 Cordless Hand Vacuum over several months, we found it to be the best hand vacuum we’ve tested. It’s so much more powerful than its lightweight feel would imply, and we appreciated that it can be used to remove dust on furniture and higher surfaces in addition to floors. 

It is bulkier than some of the other hand vacuums out there? Yes, but that’s to be expected given its performance. That said, it’s portable enough to bring from room to room without it feeling like a workout, and that’s all we can ask for. 

We’re in a transitional clothing season, and whether you’re stowing away shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 60-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won’t forget what you stashed in them. At over 60% off, it’s a great time to buy.

Sorry, Casper — this delightful spirit just might be the friendliest-looking ghost we’ve ever seen. Clocking in at a not-so-scary five feet tall, it comes with a fan for easy and quick inflation and was designed to withstand all sorts of weather conditions. Plus, at 40% off, this is close to as low as we’ve seen it in years. Get ready for all of the neighborhood’s trick-or-treaters to descend upon your doorstep!

While we love the cooler temps fall introduces, the leaf maintenance? Not so much. But that’s why tools like this top-selling leaf blower exist. Despite its 4-pound size, it can reach speeds as fast as 150 MPH to clear your yard in no time, and because it comes with two batteries, you’ll be able to work for up to 20 minutes before needing a charge (10 minutes per battery). This is close to as low as it’s ever been on sale for, so snag it while it’s nearly 50% off. 

Yahoo’s senior home writer talked to experts to find the best fire pits for your backyard, and if you’re in the market for one that doubles as a grill, the Bali Outdoors Wood Burning Fire Pit may be your meal ticket. It has a removable grill grate for easy cooking, and it’s on sale for less than $100. 

The adjustable grate is a s’mores-making, hot dog-browning, veggie-roasting dream — and it’s sure to provide some cozy nights this autumn.

At 4.5 quarts, this No. 1 bestseller can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, though it won’t take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you’ll get a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. While this isn’t the lowest price we’ve ever seen, we’ll happily take a $60 discount.

You’ll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire’s looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge. You can also use it on b-balls, bike tires and balloons. Snag it while it’s down to the lowest price we’ve seen.

You’re getting the best of both orchard and patch with this top-selling candle. It has brighter top notes of apple, orange, fresh greens and butter, as well as cozy base scents like vanilla, caramelized sugar, baked pie crust, cream and musk to round things out. Is your mouth watering yet? Better add it to your cart while it’s over 45% off.

One of the best things about autumn is curling up with a book (no shame in a TV show, either!), a hot beverage and a cozy blanket. This shaggy throw has one fleecy side and one made of faux fur for an impossibly plush feel that you’ll want to stay wrapped up in for hours on end. It comes in many colors, but this burnt orange is particularly fitting for the season. The price is right at $20 — just about as low as we’ve seen it all year. 

There’s a reason this cooling sheet set is a No. 1 bestseller — several reasons, in fact. For starters, it’s made of brushed microfiber that feels much softer than its affordable price tag would suggest, and the moisture-wicking material will help you stay dry while you snooze. Add to that the fact that these sheets are pill-, wrinkle- and fade-resistant? No wonder sleepers are comparing them to high-end bedding brands like Brooklinen.

Check out our roundup of the best cooling sheets for additional options. 

One Yahoo editor awarded this blade the title of best budget chef’s knife after testing a slew of them. She says, “When I started culinary school, I was issued a curated set of knives and tools we would need to work with through our 600 hours of training in order to graduate. This Mercer Culinary chef’s knife was the one we received that day and what we would use for 90% of our daily tasks. That should give you an idea of what this knife is capable of — and of its durability.

The Genesis may not be a flashy knife, but it is a real workhorse in the kitchen. This Western-style knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and features a handle made from Santoprene (a rubbery material) that ensures a firm grip even in damp hands.” 

It only dropped lower in price once this year … so chop chop!

Give your jack-o-lanterns an eerie glow — without creating a fire hazard! These flickering LED lights provide a candle-like effect, and they even come with a remote for dimming or brightening. There’s also a timer function so you can control how long they stay lit, and once spooky season is over, you can place them in candle holders to give your home a cozy ambience. Prime members can snag ’em for $10 (we’ve yet to see them dip lower than that).
