Make New York Post a Preferred Source New York Post Composite The numbers don’t lie: New York Post readers are going feral for Prime Day.
The shopping extravaganza kicked off yesterday, Oct. 6, and wraps up tonight, Oct. 7 — meaning shoppers have just hours left to score deals on their favorite brands. Select orders are eligible for free same-day and next-day delivery, so Prime members should have their hauls in no time.
Our team has spent hours (days, perhaps) digging through thousands of Prime Day deals and keeping tabs on what shoppers are actually buying. For Day 1 of the sale, we’re seeing plenty of the usual suspects, from tech staples like AirPods and household must-haves like Glad trash bags to kitchen gadgets like the viral Fullstar chopper.
But shoppers aren’t stopping at the essentials. They’re also going all in on the little luxuries — think skincare splurges from brands like Medicube and even at-home lymphatic drainage devices.
The common denominator? Shoppers know a good deal when they see one. These picks aren’t just among the most popular; they also happen to be some of the deepest discounts you’ll find all year. And with the holidays right around the corner, there’s no better time to check a few gifts (or must-haves for yourself) off your list.
So don’t sleep on it. If something’s been sitting in your cart, now’s the time to pull the trigger before Prime Day deals start to disappear. Here’s what NY Post readers are adding to their carts:
The AirPods Pro 3 are designed for an immersive listening experience with advanced Active Noise Cancellation, rich, detailed sound, and a comfortable in-ear fit. With seamless Apple device integration, intuitive controls, and a compact charging case, AirPods Pro 3 are made for music, calls and everyday life.
Glad ForceFlex bags are made to handle the messy stuff, stretching around bulky loads and sharp-edged trash without making a fuss. The drawstring closure makes taking out the garbage easier, while the 110-count box keeps you stocked well beyond the next trip to the store.
Both tools are ergonomic and lightweight, making them easy to carry from job site to job site. The brand also says they’re specifically designed for hard-to-reach spaces.
Each drill comes with an integrated LED work light to make your tasks easier, and the set comes with a DeWalt bag so you can carry these tools without a problem. Shop this editor’s pick now on sale for Prime Big Deal Days.
This is one of the most budget-friendly robot vacuums on sale, and it still offers strong suction, dual spinning mops and an all-in-one dock that both washes and dries the mop. We recently tested this robot vacuum and loved how efficiently it cleaned, as well as its stellar object detection in real time, which kept it from bumping into people and furniture. All in all, this is the best everyday robot vacuum below $500.
The Samsung Frame TV is special because it doubles as art when not in use. Each TV also sits flush against the wall, almost blending into your home decor. “I own a Frame TV, and even though it’s not against a wall — I have it freestanding on my TV console — the slim design is easily apparent,” says Nishka Dhawan, commerce reporter. Shop the Frame TV now as part of Prime Big Deal Days while stocks last.
An optimized system performance and a fanless design make this Apple laptop a must for those who work for hours at a time. It offers advanced writing and editing tools, making it a great option for creative professionals and students alike. It’s one of the best October Prime Day laptop deals live right now.
In the K‑beauty world, layering products in the right order is everything, and these dual-textured pads hit the sweet spot right after your cleanser. Each pad has a slightly textured side that gently exfoliates dead skin and impurities that clog pores, and a soft side that sweeps away residue while prepping your skin for the rest of your routine. Shop this medicube best-seller on sale while stocks last this October Prime Day.
The Fullstar Pro Original Vegetable Chopper & Spiralizer can chop and dice vegetables in just 30 seconds, according to the brand. The stainless steel blades are rust-resistant and stain-resistant, and the best part is that this device is top-rack dishwasher-safe, too.
Crest’s best-selling strips feature professional-grade hydrogen peroxide, which is packaged in Advanced Seal Technology that helps prevent slips for up to 60 minutes. The kit comes with 18 whitening treatments.
The newly redesigned Ring Battery Doorbell (2nd Gen) brings everyday front-door security to any home with a budget-friendly, wire-free setup featuring clear Retinal 2K video and up to six-times Enhanced Zoom. It’s got two-way audio, a slim, sleek design and app compatibility, in case you want to track visitors and get real-time motion alerts.
This viral face mask goes on thick and cooling, then gradually turns more transparent as your skin absorbs all the good stuff. It feels a little high-tech in the best way, and it gives you something visible to track while you sit on the couch, answer emails or scroll for far too long.
Whether you’re quieting all distractions or want to be fully aware of your surroundings, Bose’s QuietComfort headphones let you switch between Quiet and Aware modes, so you always hear everything you want — and nothing that you don’t. They’re on mega sale this October Prime Day, over 50% off.
With a 20-gallon waste capacity, long-lasting odor control, and leak protection, the Glad Forceflex MaxStrength trash bags are an essential household item. Stock up and save.
The Kindle Paperwhite is one of the best e-readers on the market. With a high contrast ratio and 25% faster page turns, it’s the fastest Kindle Paperwhite ever. It’s still waterproof and allows users to customize not just screen brightness, but also warmth.
Small enough to hold in one hand, the rechargeable lymphatic drainage massager makes it easy to control placement and pressure without messy cords. One shopper says it helps reduce bloating and fluid retention, while others report smoother-looking skin and improved post-workout recovery with consistent use. The brand recommends using it for 10 to 15 minutes a day for best results.
The BH Fraser Fir doesn’t just look like a Christmas tree — it looks freshly cut. Full, refined and remarkably lifelike, its deep green branches, silvery undersides and 40 unique tip variations recreate the texture and character of a real Fraser fir, giving every ornament a beautifully polished backdrop.
