The best Amazon Lightning Deals for October Prime Day 2024

This October Prime Day, we've found ourselves as enchanted with lightning as that ol' kite-and-key maven Benjamin Franklin — and we want to pass our own revolutionary discoveries on to you. See, as professional deal hunters, we consider it our duty to let you in on a little secret: Many of the best Amazon Prime Day deals are located in one easy-to-miss section: Lightning Deals.

If you're unfamiliar with Amazon's Lightning Deals, we have the scoop. These are extremely time- and stock-limited markdowns. The discounts typically last for several hours, but if stock runs out, you're outta luck. Just like other Big Deals Days savings, many of these are exclusive to Prime shoppers. They also encompass all types of products — tech, beauty, fashion, kitchen and home items.
