We’re bringing you the best deals on everything you need to prepare for winter. Check back throughout the day, as we’re updating this winter essentials page with the best deals available as part of the October Prime Day.
The “Amazon coat” is a winter staple. And for October Prime Day, you can take advantage of the biggest price drop we’ve seen in more than 10 months.
These gloves are a great option for when it’s chilly out but not too cold, or as a base layer for your hands during long days out in the snow. They’ve got fingertips made for texting so your bare hands never have to touch the cold winter air. And at one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen them, now is a great time to snag these gloves.
At just $21, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for the Adidas Alphaskin Balaclava. It’s fleece-lined to keep your head warm and dry in the cold winter temperatures, plus a reflective badge provides maximum visibility in the dark.
Pick up a pair of Under Armour’s HeatGear leggings to act as a warm base layer this winter. Whether you’re planning to hit the slopes or clear the snow off your driveway, this is a great price — in fact, the lowest we’ve seen — on these leggings.
Stay warm all winter long with this men’s ski jacket from Wantdo. For less than $50, you’ll get a waterproof, insulated jacket that comes in 11 color options.
Head into the snow in style with these snow pants from winter pros Burton. While many Burton winter essentials are on sale for October Prime Day, these snow pants are on offer for their lowest price on Amazon.
A fleece-lined pair of sweatpants will keep you warm all winter as a base or mid-layer during your trips outside. The joggers are available in six different colors, perfect for any style.
Pick up a warm beanie for less than $8 this October Prime Day. Available in 11 colors, the cuffed design allows you to adjust how much coverage your head gets. We’ve not seen this hat on sale for less than $9.98 before, so take advantage of this deal while you can.

Now’s a great time to stock up on your favorite Burton gear, as the store has many of its bestsellers on sale. These gloves will keep your hands and fingers warm during long days on the slopes or playing in the snow.

There’s no such thing as too many fleece throw blankets. For less than $12, you can add this top-rated throw to your collection and stay warm wherever you choose to lounge in your house this winter.
Weighted blankets are a winter essential that offer plenty of benefits. This one is fit for king beds and weighs 25 pounds — and for October Prime Day, you can save more than $27 compared to the normal price.
Save more than 10% for Prime Day on the Gaggia Classic Pro, our pick as the best espresso machine for beginning coffee hobbyists. It doesn’t have as many automatic features as some more modern machines, but there’s no better machine for learning barista skills — and what better time for a hot drink than during winter?
These super-cute cat socks are half off right now. Keep your feet warm as you wander around your house this winter — with your four-legged friend by your side.
With colder temperatures often comes drier air inside. Keep your air moist this winter with the Pure Enrichment MistAire Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier, which earned our top pick for bedrooms during our humidifier testing.

This snow brush extends to give you access to all parts of your car. A durable scraper blade on the other end is strong enough to break through ice on your windshield. Ensure your car is outfitted with one of these before winter sets in.
Avoid ice-scraping and snow removal altogether with this cover. It’s a one-size-fits-all design and can accommodate most vehicles. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this cover on Amazon.
These rechargeable hand warmers have more than 16,000 5-star reviews and will keep your hands warm in the cold for hours on end. As an added bonus, they can be used as portable chargers to boost your electronics while you’re on the go.
With winter approaching, now is a great time to ensure you’ve got yourself backed up in case the power goes out. This October Prime Day, we’re seeing plenty of generator sales, including this Westinghouse portable generator, which is the lowest price we’ve seen since July.

This Internet-Favorite Desk Treadmill Is On Sale Right Now
FYI: Deals move quickly during the Prime Early Access sale. We’ll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can’t catch everything immediately. Check back now through October 12 to see our latest updates as the deals change.
There are three things I simply cannot survive without when it comes to my workday: coffee, my standing desk and my foldable desk treadmill, which I first discovered thanks to numerous TikTok videos.
Since purchasing this Walking Pad folding treadmill from Amazon a few months ago, my entire workday has changed. Gone are the 3 p.m. energy slumps and the aches that come with hunching over a keyboard. Instead, I get anywhere from 5,000 to 12,000 steps in while I power through my to-do list. (One day I walked an actual half marathon’s-worth of steps without even thinking about it!)
The slim treadmill folds in half and comes with wheels, making storage easy; it’s great for anyone who lacks the space to have a bulky machine in their office space. It comes with a remote control, and you can also connect it to an app. The walking pad goes up to about 3.7 miles per hour and has two modes: automatic, which allows you to control how fast the belt goes using your own steps and walking speed, or manual, through which you can set your pace using the remote.
If you’ve been contemplating upgrading your work setup by getting a treadmill, now is certainly the time to do it. The Walking Pad is on sale now during the Amazon Prime Early Access sale event at a great price (I paid almost $100 more than it’s going for right now!). Step up your office and get your steps in. You’ll be glad you did ― trust me.

Shop this Echo Dot bundle for under $10 ahead of the Prime Early Access Sale | CNN Underscored
Following up on July’s Prime Day event, Amazon is back again with the Prime Early Access Sale, live on Oct. 11 and 12. Right now, the massive e-retailer is giving Prime members deals a few days early — we’ve been covering what we’ve seen so far, with deals on Amazon Music, light therapy lamps and more.
One of the promos on offer is a ridiculously well-priced bundle containing an Amazon Echo Dot as well as a month of Amazon Music Unlimited with auto-renewal. As Amazon breaks it down, that means you get the Echo Dot for 99 cents and Amazon Music Unlimited for $8.99. (The subscription will renew automatically, so be sure to unsubscribe after your first month if you don’t want it anymore.)
As part of a promo for Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale, you can bundle the retailer’s most popular smart home device with a free Amazon Music Unlimited subscription for a steep discount.
This is a great opportunity to try out Amazon Music while snagging Amazon’s most popular smart home device essentially free of cost. The Echo Dot is the entry point into a smart home or even into a smart ecosystem. The device unlocks the power of Alexa, Amazon’s virtual assistant, and can set alarms, play music, deliver your morning weather forecast, adjust thermostats and way more. Usually, the price on the two would be $48.98, so this is a pretty drastic markdown if you’ve been thinking about picking one up.
Shop the deal before it ends on Amazon, and keep your eyes peeled for more Prime Early Access Sale coverage here at Underscored.

If history is any indication, we can count on some pretty steep discounts on must-haves, splurges and more during the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, happening Oct. 11 and 12. Our editors will be combing through thousands of deals to find the ones that are actually worth it for our readers. In the middle of all that sifting, we’re likely to hit purchase ourselves — let’s be honest, probably more than once — and we’ve got our wish lists ready to go.
Below, you’ll find the products we’re loving or dying to try, from Bala Bangles to Apple AirTags, Olaplex to Big Blanket Co. and more. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the Prime Early Access Sale will deliver markdowns on these products, and we highly advise browsing our recommendations for your own shopping inspiration.

This viral beauty product has been a staple in my skin care routine for a while now. It keeps my skin smooth and clear year-round. I can’t pass up the chance to grab it on sale! — Sophie Shaw, associate beauty editor
$99$94.98 at Amazon
I’m traumatized after losing my bag at the airport recently, which is exactly why I’m picking up a pack of AirTags during the sale. Knowing that I’ll be traveling a lot this holiday season, I feel comfortable knowing I’ll be able to track my bags whether they get to me safely … or not. — Stephanie Griffin, social lead
$99.95From $69.95 at Amazon
Instant cameras make it easy to commemorate anything, whether it’s a momentous occasion or an everyday snapshot. I don’t need a bunch of fancy features, so this simple model seems like the perfect option. Plus, the photos are mini sized, which I love. The camera, which was discontinued by Fujifilm, usually hovers around $75, but I’m hoping it gets under $60 during the Prime Early Access Sale. — Caroline Curran, associate deals editor
$80.99 at Amazon
When traveling, there’s nothing worse than getting to your destination to find your clothes completely wrinkled and no sign of an iron nearby. I’d love it if I could get our pick for the best clothes steamer for travel on sale to take on all my upcoming trips. — Emily McNutt, senior travel editor
$49 at Amazon
I’ve been trying out Apple’s Silicone Case for my new iPhone 14 Pro, and while it offers some great protection, it also covers up the phone’s beautiful Deep Purple colorway. That’s why I’m really hoping to snag one of Apple’s clear MagSafe cases, which will let me flaunt my phone’s slick new hues without me having to worry about any nasty bumps or drops. — Mike Andronico, senior tech writer
$13.49 at Amazon
It seems like every major deals event I’m looking to see if the Goshi Shower Towel is discounted. It’s good to replace them every six months or so, which means I’m always on the lookout for price cuts. I love them so much, and they’ve truly changed the way I shower forever. — Kai Burkhardt, associate editor
$65 at Amazon
I’ve had my eye on these cute wrist/ankle weights for a while, and since I’ve been committed to taking mental health walks consistently, these would definitely raise the bar to hot girl walk status. Even better if I can get them on sale. — Sophie Shaw, associate beauty editor
$28 at Amazon
This vegan facial mist is my go-to moisturizer. I use it daily in my morning and nighttime skin care routine. It’s time to restock, so I hope it goes on sale! — Jordan Brown, social intern
$12.99 at Amazon
This 4-in-1 travel dispenser is ideal for any trip so you don’t have to pack tons of little travel bottles. I love that you can put everything together in one container so it’s organized and you know what is what. — Hannah Lauson, digital content strategist
$255 at Amazon
I have this giant blanket — it’s literally 10 feet long — thrown over my couch, and I love it so much that I’ve been dragging it to my bed each night now that it’s gotten cold. It’s pretty pricey, but I desperately want another one, so I’m keeping a close eye for it to go on sale. — Stephanie Griffin, social lead
$58 at Amazon
I’m a huge fan of the Sony XB13 speaker — it really is the best portable speaker for frequent travelers. While I already have a couple of them for myself (hello, stereo sound!) I’m looking to grab another one this Prime Early Access Sale to gift to my parents. — Emily McNutt, senior travel editor
$49.99$47.22 at Amazon
I love kicking back on the couch (or on the occasional airplane ride) with my Nintendo Switch in handheld mode, but the smaller buttons often make my hands cramped up. I’ve long been tempted to pick up Hori’s Split Pad Pro, which gives you a more ergonomic, full-size controller experience that you can still take on the go. If it drops during the Prime Early Access Sale, I might finally pull the trigger. — Mike Andronico, senior tech writer
$39.99$27.99 at Amazon
I’ve had my eye on this viral product since seeing it on TikTok last month. I’ve been looking for an excuse to upgrade my handheld facial steamer to a larger one, so hopefully a sale will help me feel less guilty for adding to my overflowing collection of beauty products. — Jordan Brown, social intern
$39.99$30.79 with clipped coupon at Amazon
We recently added a new cat to the family and are still in the process of finding out what his favorite forever toy will be. I’ve been eyeing this interactive toy, and at the right price, he might be the real winner this Prime Early Access Sale. — Emily McNutt, senior travel editor
$54.48$47.98 at Amazon
The signature shampoo and conditioner from Kristin Ess has recently become a staple in my hair care routine. Since I’m almost out, I’ll definitely be stocking up on some more at a good price, and in an even bigger size, this Prime Early Access Sale! — Stephanie Griffin, social lead
$38.99 at Amazon
I’ve had my eye on these for a while because I need a few more waffle towels for guests! They look soft and would match the set I already have, so I’m really hoping they go on sale! — Hannah Lauson, digital content strategist
$35 at Amazon
I recently purchased two new pairs of chestnut-colored Uggs, and considering my old boots were absolutely destroyed from the snow last winter, I want to preserve them for as long as possible. I’ll be buying the kit whether they go on sale or not, but I’m hoping the price drops below $35 so I can save a bit of money while I’m at it. — Stephanie Griffin, social lead
$30 at Amazon
I’ve reordered this bonding oil multiple times because it’s the only thing that can tame my frizzy hair and make it look shiny and healthy. Really hoping it will be on sale so I can order a few! — Hannah Lauson, digital content strategist

Autumn brings a lot of good things — crisp air, pumpkin spice, cozy sweaters — but the change of seasons also means fewer daylight hours. Combat the effects of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) with a light therapy lamp like this one from Circadian Optics. Though not as customizable as our top pick, this lamp performs the most important functions of a SAD lamp like a star. It’s sturdy, well designed, easy to use and bright — and its nonslip bottom should be standard among all SAD lamps.

The top-rated hair tool (and our pick for best budget hair dryer) is down to just $26.49 at Amazon — one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen — so you can get a salon-quality blowout without blowing all your money.
The best way to back up your data is with an external drive. Keep everything safe with our premium pick for the best external harddrive from Sandisk.

The machine makes virtually no noise, perfect for light sleepers, and has a night light function and automatic shutoff. Right now it’s just shy of its all-time low price when you clip the on-page coupon.

Everything we know so far about Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale 2022 | CNN Underscored
Surprise! Even though we just celebrated Amazon Prime Day in July, the mega-retailer has announced a second major savings event — the Prime Early Access Sale — happening on Wednesday, Oct. 11 and Thursday, Oct. 12.
Of course, it’s never too early to start writing up your wish list for the big sale. Below, we’re breaking down everything you need to know ahead of the event.
The Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is a first-of-its-kind sale event exclusively for Prime members in the fall season, ahead of holiday shopping. It features two days of special savings on thousands of items across all product categories.
Amazon announced that the Prime Early Access Sale will take place this year on Oct. 11 and 12.
For the past several years, Amazon Prime Day has also spanned two days. Prior to 2020, Prime Day always took place in July, but the sale was delayed in 2020 due to the pandemic, taking place in October instead. In 2021, the event returned to summer with a June date, and earlier this year, Prime Day took place in July.
Now it seems Amazon is paying homage to the previous pre-holiday Prime Day of 2020 with the announcement of the Prime Early Access Sale.
First things first: Make sure you actually have an Amazon Prime membership. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial here, after which your membership will cost $14.99 per month or $139 per year. In addition to fast, free two-day shipping, you’ll also have access to Prime Video ad-free music streaming, unlimited photo storage and unlimited reading. Many of the Prime Early Access Sale’s best deals, including Lightning Deals (we’ll get to that in a second), are only available to Prime members.
Once your membership is all squared away, you should also take some time to ensure your payment methods, including 1-Click settings and default delivery, are up to date so that you can snag your desired deals in a timely fashion.
Additionally, Prime members can set up deal alert notifications related to their recent Amazon searches and recently viewed items on the Prime Early Access Sale event page on the Amazon app between now and the event. Once Prime Early Access Sale begins, members will receive push notifications on any available deals.
Alexa will also be able to provide notice of deals 24 hours before they go live to everyone when you create a Wish List, add items to your cart or save them for later. This items can also be purchased via Alexa.
While some early deals are already available, you’ll want to bookmark the Amazon Deals Page, where all the items included in the sale should appear. Be sure to check early and often on the big day; Prime Early Access Sale deals will likely sell out quickly, and new deals will likely be added throughout the sale event.
You’ll also find Amazon’s famed Lightning Deals on the aforementioned page (you can filter your view so that you only see Lightning Deals using the panel on the left side of the page).
Finally, be sure to follow CNN Underscored on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, and check our site often. On Amazon Prime Day (and every other day of the year), we’ll be highlighting the best deals around the clock that you won’t want to miss.
Amazon hasn’t officially announced any specific deals, but on Prime Day, we saw savings that ran the gamut from electronics and major appliances to small household items. Based on what we saw last summer, here are some of the deals we expect to occur this year:
• Beats Fit Pro: Last Prime Day, the Beats Fit Pro were $159.95 (down from $199.95).
• Apple Watch Series 7: We saw the Apple Watch Series 7 on sale during Prime Day for upward of $100 off.
• Samsung 55-Inch Frame Series Smart TV: During July’s Prime Day, The Frame was down to its lowest price ever.
• 2021 Apple TV 4K: Our upgrade pick for best streaming device was $70 off during last Prime Day — a new all-time low price.
• iRobot Roomba i7+ Robot Vacuum: Multiple models of the smart vacuum were discounted, but this high-tech one was down to the lowest price we’ve seen.
• Sony WH-1000XM4: Our pick for best overall headphones was down to a new low price today in both blue and black colorways.
Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale isn’t the only big sale to look out for, as many other major retailers will likely also be offering discounts.
While we recommend Amazon as the go-to for many of the items listed above, both Walmart and Target might be slashing prices on many electronics, home goods and more to near (or better than) Amazon pricing. In July, both offered major savings on a huge range of products to coincide with Prime Day.
Electronics giant Best Buy will likely also compete with Prime Early Access Sale deals; in June, the retailer offered up to $300 on select laptops, $200 on select MacBooks, up to $350 on select gaming desktops and up to 50% off select small kitchen appliances.
For those looking for deep discounts on furniture and home appliances, Wayfair will likely be the place to find the best deals. We anticipate the retailer will be offering sales of up to 60% off — the same savings it offered in July — on the same dates as the Prime Early Access Sale.
CNN Underscored’s editors will be comparing prices (and calling out deals) across retailers throughout the Prime Early Access Sale, so know that when you see us cover a deal, it’ll be your best bet.
