October is here! The decorative gourds are out; the jack-o-lanterns are carved, much to the delight of the neighborhood squirrels; and your homemade Halloween costumes are… a work in progress. (The hot glue guns are out, as are those damn squirrels that have chomped all the pumpkins on my porch to bits.)
Another thing that the spookiest season brings? Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days! That’s right, the e-commerce behemoth is back with another round of sales October 7–8, and thankfully you don’t need to go trick-or-treating for killer deals. Load your cart the way you used to fill a pillowcase with candy as a kid. You can even add candy to your digital shopping basket, because you’re an adult now (and luckily some of my favorite gummy bears are on sale for Prime Day). Who’s going to tell you no? Get the candy if you want it!
We already shared some of the fab early Prime Day deals worth grabbing (many are still on sale, so check out that link), but as is the case with Prime Day, there are always more. Just in time for the coziest season, we’ve selected top-notch products that are ideal for baking, roasting, resting, and gift giving, like a multi-use cordless hand blender that’s ready to get to work this soup season, fancy-smelling hand soap for bougie-fying your kitchen sink, and an ice machine that’s tailor-made for the iced coffee all year round set.
Let’s get into the treats, no tricks!
Glass food storage (for all the leftovers that’ll fill up the fridge)
We’re entering prime Big Eating Season™. That means it’s also cooking-stuff-in-huge-batches season. That means leftovers. I’m guessing you’ve lost a few storage containers this year (as is customary), so it’s the perfect time to stock up on Pyrex glass storage containers. This 12-piece set with lids is 20% off. Bonus: these charming glass bowl containers are also on sale.
The affordable amazing-smelling hand soap that’s a Le Labo dupe
Fancy hand wash has been ruling my life, but the extra nice ones are a splurge I simply cannot make while entering the holiday season with 10 nieces and nephews to buy gifts for. Thankfully Method’s gel hand soap in their vetiver-amber scent is not only a spot-on dupe for Le Labo’s uber popular $85 Santal 33 hand soap, but also on sale for 16% off. There’s Santal at home!

The dreamy, design-y coffeemaker with a cult following
Technivorm’s Moccamaster coffee machine has long been an object of the Eater staff’saffection. I, myself, took advantage of July’s Amazon Prime Day sale to finally call one my own, and I’m so happy I did. Its sexy mid-century modern design makes it a countertop stunner, and, of course, it brews a gorgeous cup of drip coffee. This crowd fave in the brushed silver is once again on sale for 33% off. Java heads, get into it.

Soup season’s greatest secret weapon
KitchenAid’s cordless hand blender does all of the same work of chopping, blending, whipping and more while taking up less space in your cupboards or on your countertop than one of this big ol’ blenders. And with its cordless blender base, you can easily emulsify veggies in the pot to knock out a creamy soup. That 20% discounted price is dropping right on time.
The combo air fryer and toaster oven we love hard
Oven space is a hot commodity during the holidays, so investing in an Eater-approved toaster oven can quite literally save your Christmas cooking. Cue the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro, an air fryer and convection oven called “the power user’s dream” by our team. Its super convection reduces cooking time by up to 30%, is big enough to fit a 13-inch pizza, and can handle roasting, toasting, broiling, baking, etc. And it’s $71 off.
Indulge in the crunchy delight of crushed ice, all day every day
I can’t quite describe the pure elation I feel when I discover that a soda fountain has crushed ice. Just thinking about the satisfying crunch of the rough pebbles engulfed in Diet Coke is making my mouth water. That experience can be had anytime with GE’s Opal Nugget Ice Maker, which produces perfect, chewable ice in just 10 minutes. At $250 off, this price makes ice feel… nice
