Amazon Prime Day 2024: Get ready for Amazon's biggest shopping event of the year! (Amazon)

Amazon Prime Day is coming up fast. Like, less than a week away type fast. While the sales extravaganza officially kicks off on Tuesday, July 16, Amazon's already dropped a slew of early Prime Day deals you can scoop up as soon as, well, now.

But here's the thing: Not all deals offer real savings — shoppers always have to be wary of inflated MSRPs and products that have sat at their "discounted" price for months. That's why we're here to expertly guide you and help make every dollar count.

So we're sharing everything we know now about the sale, including a few of the best early Prime Day sales you can "Add to Cart" today (aka the real deals). From Apple AirPods that are currently marked down to their all-time lowest price ($69) to a Ninja indoor grill that's over 50% off, these are the most worthwhile of the bunch. Happy saving!

AirPods for $69? Holy cannoli! This is an all-time low for these second-gen top-sellers, which have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings, thanks to their clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and convenient cord-free design. 

Apple is an in-demand brand that doesn't need to have sales, so when they do, it's worth taking notice — and these are a rare $60 off.

It's also filled with skin-calming agents like niacinamide and moisturizing hyaluronic acid. Best of all, right now it's inexpensive enough to try without the guilt of a major skin-care investment.

Amazon released the official dates of their Prime Day sales event for 2024, and here's the skinny: This year's summer Prime Day spectacular will begin on Tuesday, July 16, and run through Wednesday, July 17. This is a touch later in the month than expected — last year's summer Prime Day ran from Tuesday, July 11, to Wednesday, July 12. If you want to get super granular, we have those details too: The event officially begins at 3 a.m. EST, and will run a full 48 hours.

Amazon Prime Day, a tradition that the retailer launched in July 2015, is a massive site-wide savings event exclusive only to Amazon Prime subscribers. If you're not yet a member, don't sweat it — you can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more all year 'round.) Not ready to join the club yet? Well, you can sign up for Amazon Prime at any time, including during PD itself. Along with the exclusive savings, you'll also be able to take advantage of benefits like free shipping.

Information on specific markdowns is soon to come, but we already have a tantalizing taste of the deals in store at Amazon Prime Day 2024. They include sweet savings on timely categories like warm-weather fashion finds, outdoor must-haves, and classics like electronics and kitchenware. Plus, it's almost guaranteed that the retailer will be offering big deals on their house-brand products, like Kindle, Fire TV, Echo, Ring and more.

Like last year's Prime Days, we're expecting mega markdowns on big brands like Apple, Ninja and Samsung, along with discounts on Yahoo reader favorites and highly reviewed bestsellers. Unlike Black Friday, where holiday shopping reigns supreme, Prime Day is particularly well-timed for checking a host of items off your own list, including travel necessities, summer-entertaining supplies and upgrades for the home, office and even your beauty routine.

Stick with us here at Yahoo to stay apprised of all the emerging deals for Amazon Prime Day 2024. We'll have category experts on deck to keep you up-to-date on all the marked-down must-haves. We'll also be comparing prices with other retailers (and delving into price histories), so you can be sure you're getting actual deals — and this coverage will extend throughout all of Amazon Prime Day, so check back often for updates.

Plenty of other online retailers try to get in on the savings action, so sales will often start a little earlier at places like Target, Home Depot, Lowe's, Sephora and more. We also know that Walmart's own deals event starts July 8 and last through July 11. Walmart+ members get first dibs on the retailer's array of savings for the Walmart Deals sale — becoming a member couldn't be easier; simply click here and you'll have the option to start with a free 30-day trial to see how you like it.
