You used to have to wait until Black Friday to snag significant deals across Lodge skillets, vacuums, bedding, and other covetable categories—whether shopping for yourself or for this season’s gifts. In early October, Amazon loudly slashed prices for its Prime Early Access Sale, then quietly started reducing rates afterwards across bestselling items.

In the weeks before Thanksgiving, you can find intense steals—up to 78 percent off—and stock up (or splurge!) on products you’ve been eyeing. 

Amazon’s early Black Friday deals section is officially live, and it includes staggering discounts across home, kitchen, fashion, and beauty products. Of course, the retailer’s own brands are on sale, as well as Le Creuset, Apple, Lodge, and more. Here are some of the best price cuts we've found so far:

Nothing’s more appetizing than these early deals from Lodge, KitchenAid, Keurig, and more. Start with 50 percent off a mini coffee maker to get the day started, then beef up your meat prep with a jack of all trades cast iron grilling pan from Lodge. An air fryer is an absolute must when you need a timesaver meal or easy sides—plus, fried veggies are just delicious. And who could forget the Le Creuset Dutch oven, the cookware crush we’ve had for forever? That 20 percent discount, and that rich red color, are sure to stun.
