The Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is ending soon, but there is still time to stock up on household essentials.
As inflation continues, some people may be tempted away from their usual brands by lower-priced alternatives. During the 48-hour October Prime Day, which ends at midnight on October 12, we’re finding discounts on big names like All, Mrs. Meyers, and Purell.
If you can’t find what you need on Amazon or don’t have a Prime membership, don’t worry. Competitors like Target and Walmart also have great deals for stocking up on cosmetics, cleaning supplies, and other staples.

Prime Early Access Sale FAQs
What is the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale?
Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale is a new shopping event for Prime members to get early holiday deals. As with the Prime Day shopping event, you’ll need to be a Prime member to get access to the deals. The sale begins on October 11, 2022 and runs through Wednesday, October 12.
The event is available in 15 countries: the US, UK, Turkey, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Poland, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, France, China, Canada, and Austria.
What deals are available during the Prime Early Access Sale?
As with Prime Day earlier this year, we’re seeing a lot of low prices on Amazon devices like Kindle e-book readers, Echo speakers, Fire tablets, Fire TVs and streaming devices, and more. Since this sale is kicking off the holiday shopping season, we’re also seeing deals on toys, apparel, and other gift-worthy items.
How long do deals last?
The Prime Early Access Sale lasts for 48 hours, but many deals sell out quickly. Lightning Deals are limited-time, limited-inventory discounts, kind of like a flash sale. They last just a few hours or until the item sells out.

Yes, this sale is for Prime members only. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial and cancel it after the event.
