Amazon Prime Day has arrived. The online retailer has slashed prices on tens of thousands of items, ranging from everyday essentials to top Christmas wishlist toys. Prime Day is arguably the best time for Amazon shoppers to snag huge discounts on both necessities and luxuries. But how can you maximise your Amazon Prime Day experience?

Having participated in nine Amazon sales events, I believe I have a solid understanding of the sale's mechanics. Furthermore, over the years, I've accumulated numerous tips on securing genuine, substantial bargains and avoiding regret over hasty impulse purchases - whether they're mine or someone else's. The most vital step to securing the best Prime Day deals is also the simplest - you need to be an Amazon Prime member. While Black Friday deals are available to all Amazon shoppers, this week's offers cater to a more exclusive group, reports the Mirror.

If you're not currently a Prime member - despite the myriad benefits beyond initial free delivery and exclusive deals - now is the perfect time to sign up for the free trial. You can access all the best deals today and then simply cancel before the 30 days are up, costing you nothing.

Top October Amazon Prime Day deals:

Apple AirPods Pro 2 - was £229 now £179 (22% off)

These are an Amazon deal event staple that tend to sell well as they're also a recurring theme on many people's Christmas lists. While 22% off doesn't feel as substantial as some of the discounts on tech that are available. Apple's sister brand Beats is offering 41% off on its Studio Buds taking them to £94.99, for Apple it's the biggest of the year so far.

Amazon Fire TV 32-inch 2-Series HD Smart TV - was £249.99 now £139.99 (44% off)

Amazon Fire TVs have been a hit with shoppers since their introduction and tend to sell out fast when discounted to this price. Amazon has already labelled them as having limited stock available and restricted purchases to one per customer. This is something to grab early if you're interested.

COSRX Snail All in One Cream - was £35 now £16.99 (51% off)

Fans of COSRX ensure this is a regular Amazon bestseller, even at full price. However, this larger tube, an upgrade from previous years when it came in a smaller size, is likely to attract even more shoppers as it offers more product for the money.

Celebrations 2.4kg box - was £28 now £21 (25% off)

Whether you're expecting trick-or-treaters for Halloween or can resist eating these until Christmas, this enormous box of favourites including Maltesers, Galaxy, Snickers is larger than what most supermarkets offer. You can buy Christmas Celebrations tubs at Asda for £6.

Ninja Double Stack XL - was £269 now £209.99 (22% off)

Revealed with much excitement at the IFA technology show last month, Amazon's version of Ninja's latest airfryer features a limited edition eye-catching copper design and is reduced to its lowest price since launch.

Versuni Philips L'Or Barista Sublime Capsule Coffee Machine - was £109.99 now £49.99 (55% off)

For those who adore their coffee, these kinds of deal events are a dream come true with plenty of big-discount options available. This particular machine caught my eye as it's relatively compact for its spec, has excellent reviews and is at its lowest price since Black Friday 2023.

Shark Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner - was £229.99 now £131.99 (43% off)

The world seems to be split between fans of cordless and corded vacuums. If you're in the latter camp and prefer the power that comes from being plugged into the wall, this vacuum offers great value for money and comes with tools to tackle wood and carpeted floors, crevices and stubborn pet hair.

Crocs Unisex Classic Lined Clog - was £54.99 now £22.24 (60% off)

These shoes are the Marmite of the fashion world and spark heated debates in our shopping team's editorial meetings. However, if you're like me and believe they're among the comfiest shoes ever made, then it's worth checking out the colours included in this discount - which makes them cheaper than Crocs own sale.

Ninja Thirsti water bottle - was £34.99 now £19.99 (43% off)

The culinary company has applied its innovative approach to one of the simplest items possible, resulting in a stylish drink bottle that effectively maintains drinks hot, cold or fizzy. This means you can depend on one bottle instead of having multiple travel cups for your beverages.

Oral-B iO3 Electric Toothbrush - was £160, now £59.99 (63% off)

Maintaining a sparkling smile can be difficult and while electric toothbrushes are an excellent way to keep them in pristine condition between hygienist visits, they can also be costly. Now reduced to under £60, the iO3 has received over 18,000 reviews from customers who commend it for its effectiveness in combating plaque and enhancing their gum health.

COSLUS cordless Water Flosser - was £29.99 now £19.99 (33% off)

While toothbrushes are a crucial part of most of our routines, last Prime Day saw this essential water flosser become a surprising bestseller as shoppers sought to elevate their dental care. Assisting in removing food from between the teeth without causing bleeding gums or damage, this three-speed flosser is likely to be another popular choice this Prime Day.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab A9, was £239, now £149 (37% off)

Samsung, known for its lavish Black Friday deals on state-of-the-art technology, often includes enticing free items and cashback opportunities, suggesting that those in the market for the latest gadgets might want to wait until next month's offerings are revealed. Nevertheless, for those needing a dependable entry-level tablet right away, the A9 represents an exceptional choice at this price point.

Remington Shine Therapy Straighteners was £79.99 now £26.98 (66% off)

Touted for their lowest price recently and regularly hitting Amazon's top sellers chart, these straighteners are infused with Argan Oil and celebrated for their hair-friendly efficiency. The Mirror's beauty editor Laura Mulley shared her rave review: "They were a dream to use; they glided smoothly over the hair with no dragging or snagging and didn't need more than a couple of passes over each section to leave it straight, swishy and shiny. It eliminated any frizz without leaving strands feeling sizzled or too hot."
