Prime Day might not be until Monday, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait all weekend to rake in the savings! Amazon’s kicking off the sales early — and by early, we mean now — so if you want to get a head start on the two biggest sale days of the year, you have your shot.

Of course, with Amazon Prime you’ll get so much more — from access to new movies and TV shows, discounts at Whole Foods and two-day shipping on many, many items. Not yet a member? What are you waiting for? Sign up for a free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

It’s time to shop!

This deal seems too good to be true…but it ain’t! Amazon has one of its top-selling TVs, the Insignia 24-inch Smart HD TV — Fire TV Edition, on sale for just $100 for Prime members only!

Instant access to Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video and so much more will soon be yours. Alexa is included in the remote, so browsing will be a snap. Shoppers are just as shocked by the quality of this TV as we are by this incredible price!

“I am honestly very pleasantly surprised with how much I like this TV,” wrote a delighted shopper. “As far as clarity goes, I believe 720p is plenty for this screen size…. I have been very pleased with the Wi-Fi reception of the built-in Fire TV. It actually works a lot better than the USB-plug-in external fire sticks, for whatever reason.”

With the phenomenal sound you’d expect from Apple, we present the best bargain on the AirPod menu (and Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling earbuds): The standard Apple AirPods with charging case, now just $119. 

While the buds themselves are wireless, you need to plug in the case to charge them. Once juiced up, they instantly pair with your iPhone. No scrolling, no fiddling with settings. You’re good to go. And you can expect a robust five hours of battery life per charge. These are the most popular Pods of the bunch, earning a five-star rating from nearly 35,000 reviewers.

“This is my first pair of AirPods. I love them. They are life-changing! The AirPods arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. They were packaged in a sleek, white Apple AirPods box,” raved a delighted five-star reviewer. “…I wholeheartedly give these AirPods five shiny gold stars.”

On sale for $299 (was $329), the entry-level iPad model (32GB/Wi-Fi model) has the same fine-tuned 10.2-inch display, quick Touch ID fingerprint sensor and 3GB of memory as the last version, but it features a speedier processor. You’ll notice — and appreciate — how quickly videos, websites and games get up and running. (FYI for you tech heads: The speed comes from Apple’s A12 Bionic chip.) To say this thing is popular is an understatement: It has 38,700 five-star reviews!

“I love it! It’s fast and easy to use, plus it’s super affordable compared to the other models,” wrote a satisfied Amazon shopper. “The display is beautiful and picture quality is great… It’s like I have a mini laptop everywhere I go. Perfect for students, the screen quality is amazing and the battery lasts all day long.”

On sale for $36 (down from $60 — an impressive 40 percent off!), the award-winning Battlefield V for Xbox One is a multi-player first-person shooter game from Electronic Arts. It’s the sixteenth installment in the series and takes place during World War II. Up to 64 players can get in on the land, sea and air action. Take your pick of weapons, vehicles, tanks, gadgets and machinery, as you immerse yourself in episodic “war stories” in Norway, Northern Africa, Normandy and other storied battlegrounds.

“It’s a great game for when I’m focused,” raved a delighted gamer. “…The support classes are tons of fun. Spam throwing equipment to allies and get easy experience (points). That, or as a medic you can save countless lives, even those that aren’t on your squad, by reviving them. Great game when things are going good. Some uneven teams it seems at times, but other times it’s nice to be the one claiming ground. Best of luck!”

And, believe it or not, shoppers love it even more than that other robo vac. “I really like this vacuum so far,” shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. “It works better than an expensive Roomba that I had previously. It is quieter, doesn’t get stuck on all of my thresholds and rugs, and it has a larger bin for dirt…. It picks up a lot of pet hair and has a good battery life.”

If your eyes are plagued by signs of aging — puffiness, dark circles, crow’s feet and fine lines — it’s time to invest in a treatment that helps turn back that tide. This eye cream tackles problem areas, plus it lightly conceals while it works its magic. Peptides, vitamin B3 and pigments work together to help reduce the appearance of time’s inexorable march. 

“Wow! I’m pleasantly surprised,” a shopper shared. “The back [label] said ‘Works Instantly!’ and I though ‘Yeah, right…’ but it really does. I noticed an instant improvement. Even if it never produces long-term changes, it definitely decreased the dark shadows, leveled out some of the fine wrinkles and made my skin super soft. Best of all, it doesn’t settle in to fine lines or cake, so it’s great for just a tinted moisturizer, mascara and Chapstick day. Definitely found my new eye cream.”

If you’re a pet parent, you know how important it is to ensure that your pups are eating right (and not, say, getting their treats from the trash). While most puppy snacks are loaded with preservatives, dyes and all sorts of nasties, these bites from Amazon in-house brand Wag are anything but. They’re just a single ingredient — chicken breast — and are sourced and freeze-dried in the USA. They’re packed with protein and are bite-sized, so they’re good for both itty-bitty pups and big boys alike.

“These are the perfect treat to stuff in a bone to ensure hours of entertainment for your pup,” a shopper noted. “They have a strong scent which entices them to keep working to get at it. The treats are light and squish to fit [inside] the bones pretty well. My dog goes nutty for these. Having a bone stuffed with treats she has to work for keeps her occupied and less likely to get bored and tip over the trash or get into things she shouldn’t.”
