Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale is coming to an end, and CNN Underscored editors are sharing their final picks before the discounts disappear. The editors, who spend the year testing products and tracking deals, highlighted items they purchased during the sale, ranging from tech and beauty to kitchen essentials and pet supplies.
Among the top picks were the Apple AirPods Pro 3, which one editor bought for $179 and stacked with an Amex Amazon offer to save an additional $50, bringing the final price to $129. The Octobuddy Silicone Suction Phone Case was another favorite, praised for its usefulness in both cooking and entertainment. Budget-friendly appliance sliders from Animal Gifts also made the list for their effectiveness in protecting countertops.
Beauty and skincare products featured prominently, with deals on Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream at 50% off, La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Dual-Body Discoloration Treatment at 30% off, and Ever Reveal Biomimetic Peel Pads. Tech and travel items included the SRILabs DryQ Infrared Hair Dryer, noted for its compact design and hair-protecting technology, and Premier Protein shakes at a 40% discount.
Pet owners weren't left out, with one editor stocking up on Bonkers Freeze-Dried Tuna and Salmon Purrpops for their senior cat. Each editor explained why their chosen deals were worth the investment, making this a curated list of the best discounts available before the sale ends.
