Here are the early Prime Day deals — I found over 37 that are actually worth shopping.

Prime Big Deal Days doesn't start until next week, but you don't have to wait until then to start shopping. Amazon is currently offering deals across product categories, giving Prime members the chance to save on tech, kitchen gadgets, household essentials and more, as well as get a head start on shopping for holiday gifts.

I've been covering shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday for five years as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals worth shopping. Each of the high rates I recommend below, at least 20% off and at least three months in the lowest price. I will update this list frequently until the Prime Day sale on October 8th and 9th.
