Best Early October Amazon Prime Day Kitchen Deals

I very rarely buy anything full-price. My family calls me frugal, and I wear that badge with pride. It’s exciting to find a great discount on something I want; it feels like following a treasure map and digging where X marks the spot. Needless to say, I’m excited for Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. 

October Prime Day (as it’s unofficially known) starts tomorrow and lasts through Wednesday, October 8. The 2-day sales event will feature millions of deals, but you can get a head start on shopping before items start selling out.

We rounded up the best early kitchen deals, including big discounts from beloved brands like Instant Pot, KitchenAid, Ninja, Rachael Ray, Rubbermaid, and so much more. You’ll need a Prime membership to take advantage of the Big Deals Day discounts, so if you don’t have one already, now is a great time to take advantage of the 30-day free trial. 

Best Early October Amazon Prime Day Kitchen Deals Overall

There are early deals on big-ticket items. Instant Pot’s compact air fryer, for example, is half off for a limited time. (I use my air fryer at least three times a week, so I’d happily pay full price, but a 50 percent discount is much better.) Rubbermaid’s Brilliance collection is one of Allrecipes’ favorite food container sets, and this airtight 5-pack is on sale for $6 per container. Keep reading to see how you can save up to 59 percent on kitchen essentials.

Instant Pot’s compact mini air fryer is ideal for home cooks with small kitchens. The 4-quart machine has six presets: air fry, bake, roast, broil, dehydrate, and reheat—all for half off. 

Zojirushi 6-Cup Rice Cooker

Rice is a culinary staple. I’d estimate that every third meal I make includes rice. While I have a lot of rice recipes, I don’t actually have a rice cooker…yet. This enticing deal from Zojirushi features a 6-cup rice cooker at an impressive 48 percent discount. It’s an easy-to-use machine that cooks white rice to perfection.
