I’ve Been Hunting Prime Day Deals For Years — These Outlet Picks Are Actually Good

So many great deals are hiding in this under-the-radar Amazon section.
Add TODAY to Google

Amazon Prime Day is in full swing and our team has been combing through thousands of deals on the daily. Luckily for me, I’ve been covering Prime Day sales for the last seven years, so I know a thing or two about finding a good deal.

While you can find plenty of fashion, beauty and tech buys on the Amazon homepage, I’ve come to find that some of the best buys are tucked away in Amazon’s Outlet and Overstock section. Here, picks are typically discounted at higher rates and, if you’re shopping Prime Day on a budget, you can probably stock up your cart for less than $50.

I did the digging for you and found the picks that are actually worth adding to cart, from viral flat hair clips to award-winning sneakers that left a lasting impression on our edit team. Keep reading to shop the best Amazon Outlet deals during Prime Day, starting at just $3.

Prime Day Amazon Outlet beauty deals

Obeoby Flat Hair Clips (Set of 6)

Flat hair clips became an essential in our Summer Swim Guide! The unique essential provides a way to keep your hair out of your face without inhibiting your ability to lay down while you lounge poolside or at the beach.

BS-Mall Travel Makeup Brush Set

This convenient set includes 14 brushes and features a built-in mirror that features three different light settings: cold, natural or warm toned. The brand claims the kit is no larger than the size of your phone, so you can slip it into your purse or carry-on for any summer adventure.

Dove Shower Body Oil Wash

I converted from bar soap to body wash after trying Dove’s Serum+ Radiance Shower Oil Body Wash (which is also on sale for Prime Day!) so I was delighted to find another top-rated pick from Dove on deal. According to the brand, this wash transforms from an oil into a lather and works great for dry skin.

Aveeno Positively Radiant Skincare Bundle

There’s nothing I love more than a 2-for-1 deal! This bundle from Aveeno includes a moisturizer and a moisturizing cream from the brand’s Positively Radiant line. You can keep one at home and one on-the-go.

Sun Bum Original SPF 50 Sunscreen Body Lotion

Now’s the perfect time to stock up on SPF! You can score this top-rated lotion from Sun Bum for less than $25 right now. According to the brand, it smells just like summer.

CHI Original Flat Iron Hair Straightener

It’s a treat to find luxury hair care on sale, so to find a Chi flat iron on deal for less than $60 feels like a steal! It features ceramic plates for even heat distribution and an ergonomic design for ease of use, per the brand.

Prime Day Amazon Outlet fashion deals

Athmile Wide Leg High Waisted Drawstring Sweatpants

I know, it feels a little too early to think about sweatpants right now, but by the time winter rolls around you’ll be glad you have a pair at the ready if you snag these on sale. I love the color options available and the drawstring waist for an adjustable fit.

G4Free EverGoing Athletic Shorts with Pockets

It’s shorts season! These breathable bottoms feature a stylish cross waistband and are the perfect blend of form-fitting and loose. You can shop them in five different colors in sizes XS-XXL.

The Drop Women's Monika H-Band Sandal

Sandals for less than $20? Adding several pairs to my cart as we speak. These feel much more elevated than flip-flops and won’t break the bank. Plus, you can shop it in five different colors that are all on sale.

The Drop Ana Silky V-Neck Midi Slip Dress

Sundress season is also here and I’m loving this dress for a one-and-done option this summer. Polka dots are trending for summer and I love that you can style this with sneakers or sandals and call it a day.

Reef Women's Cushion Vista Hi Platform Sandal

My mom raves about how comfortable Reef sandals are, so I had to let her know about this steep discount before it’s gone. Select pairs are on sale for as low as $35, but I love the deep brown style here.

New Balance Women's 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer

We’re big fans of sneakers at Shop TODAY. So much so that we give awards to the pairs that we love the most. This style from New Balance won for best overall walking shoes during the 2023 Start TODAY x Shop TODAY Wellness Awards. It received praise from staffers who loved the stylish look and supportive feel.

Prime Day Amazon Outlet home deals

New England Stories Milk Frother

I always thought milk frothers were a silly purchase — until I got one of my own. I use it to mix up matcha, electrolyte drinks and coffee drinks I make at home and it makes a world of a difference. Don’t miss the chance to grab one for $5.

Amazon Basics Tall Kitchen Drawstring Trash Bags (45 ct)

It’s never a bad time to stock up on household essentials. This box includes 45 bags for less than $10.

Sleek Socket Outlet Concealer

Bulky cords are such an eyesore, so when I discovered this home hack for hiding them a few years ago, I told practically everyone I knew about it. Now’s a great time to grab this essential on deal, especially before the holiday season rolls around again.

HomeBest Under Cabinet Puck Lights with Remote

A small home upgrade that can make all the difference? Cabinet lights. You can snag a set of six for 50% off right now. These lights are rechargeable, motion-activated and can also be controlled via remote.

Chefman 2 Qt Mini Air Fryer

If you’re in the market for an air fryer, allow me to point your attention to this deal. This compact unit is perfect for apartment dwellers and won’t take up too much space on your countertop or in your cabinets.

Bissell CrossWave HydroSteam Deluxe Steam Mop

Steam mops can make all the difference in your cleaning routine, but they tend to err on the pricier side. So, when I caught this pick on deal for nearly 50% off, I was pleasantly surprised (and might have to buy one for myself!).

Prime Day Amazon Outlet tech deals

USB to Type C Charger Fast Charging Cable

We’ll always snag charging cables on sale. This two-pack is convenient for anyone with a newer iPhone model and most newer electronics.

Belkin Waterproof Apple AirTag Secure Holder with Key Ring

AirTags have become an essential for keeping track of your belongings. Toss a tag in your luggage to help track it at the airport or attach one to your keys to prevent you from misplacing them. This holder will keep the tag safe and secure, wherever you toss it.

Belkin BoostCharge 42-Watt Dual Port Fast Car Charger

Road trips are a summer highlight — dead phones are not. Snag this charger at a major discount and you can charge two devices at once, wherever the road takes you.

Switchbot Smart Switch Button Pusher (Bluetooth)

We’ve all been there — you crawl in bed and get under the covers and then realize you forget to turn off the lights. This hack makes it so that you can turn them on or off at any time — even when you’re not home.

Case-Mate Soap Bubble Mini IP68 Waterproof Bucket Bag

Case-Mate’s floating phone pouch won a 2026 Travel Award and the reviews for this bag seem just as promising. It features a designated compartment for your phone, with a touch-friendly window for ease of use.

Blavor Solar Power Bank

You never know when you’ll be in a charging pinch! This solar-powered power bank can quickly charge an iPhone and also doubles as a flashlight when you need.

Frequently asked questions

With deals across many categories, we suggest stocking up on big-ticket items and everyday essentials while they’re on sale, as well as award-winning products. You can follow our Prime Day coverage for the best deals to shop during the event.

Technically, Prime Day occurs just once a year, usually during the summer. So, you'll want to shop the deals now before they're gone. However, Amazon has historically hosted other sale events during the year, including the Big Spring Sale and Prime Big Deal Days.

If you're looking to make purchases across categories from tech to beauty, home essentials, fashion staples and more, our editors say that Prime Day is worth shopping. Because Prime Day occurs only once a year, this is your best chance to score savings this summer before the deals are gone.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 is slated to last from Tuesday, June 23, through Friday, 26. While Prime Day was previously a two-day sale, last year, the retailer expanded it to four days and is continuing on that schedule this year, giving customers even more time to shop.

Although non-members can browse items on sale during Prime Day, only Prime members can enjoy event-exclusive markdowns during the sale.

As of late, a Prime membership costs $14.99 a month, or $139 for an annual membership, and eligible members can register for a free 30-day trial. Read more about starting your Amazon Prime membership here.

Some major retailers have previously overlapped their sale events with Prime Day, including Walmart and Target. This year, you can shop the below retailer deals alongside Prime Day:

  • Walmart: Walmart Deals Event returns this year from June 22 to 28, both in-store and online.
  • Target: Target Circle Days is also running through Prime Day, with deals starting on June 22.
  • Sephora: You can already start shopping the Sephora Major Summer Deals event now until June 23.
