Here's the 10 Best October Prime Day 2025 Deals That You Can Already Shop
There's already stuff on sale ahead of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days event coming in October, so here's the best new offers the retail giant has revealed.
Amazon has locked in the dates for Prime Big Deal Days, aka "October Prime Day," which kicks off October 7 and runs a full 48 hours through October 8.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that Amazon can’t resist throwing out early discounts to get everyone spending before the main event. Some of those deals even vanish once the sale officially starts, so the pre-game isn’t just filler.
TL;DR: Best Early Prime Day Deals
Right now, there’s already a healthy spread of bargains, with a few Prime-only exclusives and some that even non-members can grab. Think of it as Amazon’s way of saying, "Hey, don’t wait around, you can start emptying your wallet right now."
So, instead of wasting time pretending to resist, let’s cut straight to the 10 best early October Prime Day deals that are actually worth snapping up before the madness officially begins.
Prime Day Freebie Worth $90: Zero Cost Memberships
In the US, Prime costs $14.99 a month or $139 a year, with a 30-day free trial for new users. But the real bargain is Amazon’s “Prime for Young Adults.” If you’re 18–24 or a student, you get six months for zero dollars, then half price: $7.49 a month or $69 a year.
That trial alone saves nearly $90, and it’s the full Prime package, not a watered-down version. Easily one of the best deals Amazon runs, though I’m still bitter I’ve aged out of it. Just remember: turn off auto-renew, set reminders, and don’t pay more than you need to.
Free $150 Gift Card to Spend on TCGs + 10% Cashback
Prime members using Amazon's Prime Visa Card can snag 10% cashback on toys right now, plus a $150 gift card for new sign-ups (see here). That's a perfect excuse to stack up on trading cards, especially with these latest offerings
Amazon’s running solid TCG discounts ahead of Prime Day: up to 39% off MTG Commander Decks, 25% off bundles, and more. Highlights include the Doctor Who Paradox Power precon, Fallout’s Scrappy Survivors, and Final Fantasy XIV’s Scions and Spellcraft deck for $44.99.
It’s not just Magic either, the Pokémon TCG Black Bolt Elite Trainer Box is down to $84.99 as well. Not the lowest we’ve seen, but with cashback on top, it’s worth a look.
Massive 4K Blu-ray Sale
Amazon’s running a big 4K UHD and Blu-ray sale, with classics from every era starting at $10.99. You can browse the full sale here, but I’ve pulled out a few standouts as well. If nothing grabs you, it’s still worth checking the main page, odds are one of your favorites is marked down.
Top picks from me include Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, discounted just in time for Thanksgiving. Wayne’s World is in there too, a movie nobody’s ever mad to see pop up on TV. The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, Titanic, and Raiders of the Lost Ark are also included. That’s a pretty stacked lineup of all-timers.
TMNT: The Last Ronin for Just $12.74
If you've been waiting for an opportunity to get your hands on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic The Last Ronin, we have great news. It's now available at an incredible discount at Amazon and down to just $12.74, which is one of its lowest prices ever. That's 57% off its MSRP of $29.99, and one hell of a saving.
Just as a reminder, as this is a proper early Prime Day deal, you'll need a Prime membership to access it. I don't make the rules!
$15 off Spider-Man MTG Bundles
Marvel’s Spider-Man Bundle is down to $54.95, a 21% drop from the $69.99 MSRP. I own this one, and it’s absolutely worth picking up. You get 9 Play Boosters, which would normally run you about $7.77 each, but this deal drops it to $6.11 per pack before even factoring in the extras.
Those extras include 30 Spider-themed land cards (split between foil and non-foil), perfect for building a deck that actually feels like it belongs in this Universes Beyond set.
You’ll also get an exclusive foil promo: Radioactive Spider. On its own, it’s a 1/1, but you can sacrifice it to search your deck for a Spider Hero card, very on-brand and very cool.
Nintendo Switch Zelda amiibo (Save $14)
Nintendo isn’t leaving amiibo behind with the Switch 2. In fact, 2025 has already brought new figures from Metroid Prime 4, Super Mario Galaxy, Donkey Kong Bananza, and more.
Even better, Amazon currently has Yunobo, Sidon, Riju, and Tulin in stock, all at a discount. What was once a smaller $10 price cut that excluded Yunobo has now turned into a stronger deal across the across the board.
Crucial P310 4TB for $201.99
Amazon has one of the best prices all year on a high-speed 4TB SSD. The Crucial P310 PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe, complete with a pre-installed heatsink, is down to $201.99 with free delivery, well below its previous low of $235 during July’s Prime Day.
The P310 is Crucial’s latest PCIe Gen 4 SSD and fully meets PS5 storage requirements, with fast transfer speeds and a built-in heatsink that makes it truly drop-in ready.
Amazon's Fire TV Sticks
Amazon just announced a new budget 4K streaming stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K Select, launching October 15 for $39.99. Sounds decent, until you look at the current deals.
Right now, the standard Fire TV Stick 4K is down to $24.99, and the higher-end 4K Max is $39.99. In other words, you can get Amazon’s best streaming stick for the exact same price as the new budget model. So don’t waste your money waiting on the Select.
Pokémon Plush Toys
A handful of Pokémon plush toys are discounted at Amazon right now, and that includes a ridiculously adorable Charmander plush and a sweet Squirtle plush, just to name a couple.
The latter is even down to its lowest price yet, so make sure to grab it quick while it's still available.
GrubHub Free McDonald's Nuggets
Prime members automatically get a free Grubhub+ subscription, which is worth $120 a year. Amazon claims most people save around $300 annually through free delivery and promos, though that depends on how often you’re ordering takeout. Still, it’s a solid perk.
Right now it even comes with a daily freebie: a McDonald’s 10-piece Chicken McNuggets Meal every day until October 5. Holy diabetes, Batman!
