What is Prime Big Deals Day?
Around here we just call it Fall Prime Day, this two-day event is sort of an amuse bouche to the holiday shopping season in November. The date fluctuates year to year, and in 2026, it falls on Oct. 6 and 7. Discounts are across all categories, including everything you’d want and need in your kitchen.
How do I access Amazon Prime Day deals?
To benefit from Prime Day’s major savings, you will need to have an Amazon Prime membership. Currently, that will set you back $14.99 per month or $139 per year (and if you’re between the ages of 18 and 24, you can qualify for a half-price discounted membership). Prime membership comes with a host of benefits, including free one-day, two-day, and even same-day delivery on many items, plus access to unlimited grocery delivery (for an additional monthly fee). Members also have access to Prime Video streaming content, Kindle e-books, and more. Recently, Amazon has included some added perks to Prime membership like Grubhub+, which means $0 delivery fees and other savings.

A couple of things for keeping it clean, and one for staying hydrated
Your kitchen is messy. You know it, we know it, and a vacuum (or a mop vac) will help get it in shape. Unfortunately, a good one will cost you, so snagging it on sale is a no-brainer. Right now, the Dyson V8—a solid pick–is almost $115 less than usual. Oh, and the Swedish dish clothes that so many of our editors use at home are only $16 for a 10-pack, which should last you close to a year.
