Dubbed the Prime Early Access Sale, it'll run for just 48 hours from Tuesday, October 11, to Wednesday, October 12, with hundreds of thousands of deals that are exclusive to Prime members. We're expecting discounts in every category of the site, and are keeping our eyes peeled on favorites from brands like Le Creuset, Lodge, Calphalon, Instant Pot, Hamilton Beach, Vitamix, and more. This two-day event is similar to Prime Day, but with a holiday twist. Not only is Amazon slashing prices on Halloween and Thanksgiving must-haves, but there are also special offers on gift guides. Prime members can check out the retailer's Top 100 list of popular gift-worthy picks, then snag deals on the items throughout the sale. It's guaranteed to give you a huge leg-up on your holiday shopping list ahead of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday craze. This event is reserved for Prime members, so be sure to sign up for a free 30-day trial if you don't have an account already. Subscribers can even set deal alerts for specific products ahead of the sale. To do this, you just visit their Prime Early Access Deals page between now and October 11 to create the alerts on some of your must-have items. You'll then receive notifications as soon as those items' prices get slashed. Though the sale isn't for a couple weeks, discounts are already available on some essentials in cookware, appliances, dining and entertaining, and home organization. Keep reading below to see some of the best deals we've found so far, including basic cookware sets, pumpkin carving sets, and dishware that's perfect for your Thanksgiving table.
