50 Early Amazon Prime Day Deals Worth Buying Before Next Week

Shoppers are getting a head start on Amazon Prime Day with a wave of early discounts being promoted ahead of next week’s main sale, including a roundup of 50 deals highlighted by CNN.

The early offers span multiple categories and are being framed as worthwhile buys before Prime Day officially begins. CNN’s list focuses on items already discounted now, positioning them as alternatives for shoppers who don’t want to wait for the event itself.

Other outlets are also publishing their own curated early-deal roundups. Forbes has compiled a list of 28 early Prime Day deals it says it has already found. TechRadar, meanwhile, has flagged 23 early deals and says discounts reach as high as 65% on brands including Ring, Blink, Ninja, Apple and DJI.

Yahoo has also published an early Prime Day guide that includes deals “worth shopping now,” naming brands such as Apple, Keurig, Hanes and Shark, along with details it says it knows about next week’s sale. CNN separately promoted additional weekly sales beyond Amazon, pointing readers to deals from brands including Coleman, Columbia and Nike.

Several deal lists are organized around specific price points or product types. Mashable has highlighted early Prime Day deals under $50, naming items such as a Ninja blender, Sony headphones and Lego sets. In another Mashable roundup focused on audio, the outlet singled out early Sony headphone discounts.

Streaming is also being marketed as part of the early-shopping push. Page Six promoted streaming offers that start at $1 per month, naming services including Paramount+ and MGM+.

The flood of early deal coverage matters because it signals that Prime Day shopping increasingly extends beyond the official sale dates. Retailers and publishers are treating the run-up as its own shopping period, with curated lists intended to help consumers navigate a large and fast-changing set of promotions. For shoppers, it means price cuts and subscription offers may be available before the main event, and decisions about what to buy can start earlier.

It also underscores how Prime Day has become a broader retail moment, not limited to Amazon’s own storefront. Alongside early Amazon promotions, major publishers are steering readers to competing sales across other brands, widening the scope of where deal-seekers may spend.

Next week’s Prime Day event is expected to bring another round of discounts, with news outlets continuing to update their recommendations as new promotions appear and older ones end. Shoppers following these deal guides should expect lists to change quickly as availability and pricing shift during the lead-up and throughout the sale.

For now, early Prime Day coverage is in full swing, with multiple national outlets pointing readers to discounted products and subscriptions ahead of the main event next week.
