The second (and final) day of Prime Big Deal Days is quickly coming to a close. Amazon is still offering discounts on hundreds of items under $25 during the sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find budget-friendly deals on beauty, household essentials and more during what's left of the sale — it all ends at midnight.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as an editor for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day deals under $25 — each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
