Early Amazon Prime Day deals are live from $6 — here's everything I'd shop this weekend
By now, you've probably heard that Prime Day deals are returning this July with an unprecedented 4-day savings event. And although we're still a few weeks out from the big sale, that doesn't mean we can't start taking advantage of the best Amazon deals of the year now. We're already seeing tons of great early Prime Day deals across nearly every category. Plus, with the start of summer, you can start shopping epic seasonal deals on apparel, patio furniture, grills and much more. Just keep in mind that the event is for Amazon Prime members only, so you'll need to be a member to get access to the deals. Fortunately, I've done the heavy lifting and rounded up some of the best discounts I'm seeing for the weekend. Here's everything I'd shop from the early Amazon Prime Day sale. For more ways to save, check out our Amazon promo codes. YETI sale: up to 25% off @ AmazonIf you're a fan of YETI, you know that a sale doesn't come around often enough. That's why now is the perfect opportunity to save big on drinkware and cooler deals starting at just $15. So don't wait — snag a new cooler or water bottle before these discounts disappear! Garmin sale: deals from $99 @ AmazonI have to admit: I wasn't expecting to see a surge in Garmin deals. That said, Amazon has various Garmin watches and some accessories on sale from $97. It's easily the best Garmin sale I've seen this year with discounts on some of our favorite models like the Editor's Choice Forerunner 55 on sale for $169. The Blink Outdoor is a fully wireless home security camera that records video in 1080p, lets you store video locally (or in the cloud) and has a two-year battery life. The Editor's Choice camera holds a spot in our list of the best home security cameras. At just $49, the best value Ring Video Doorbell got even better. The newest of Ring's doorbells has head-to-toe video and package detection. You can't replace its battery, but it's a fantastic option at this price. The AirPods Pro 2 pack Apple's new H2 chip to provide 2x more noice cancellation than their predecessors. They also offer Personalized Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking for a more immersive audio experience. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we said they take everything we loved about the original AirPods Pro to the next level. This new model includes a USB-C charging case. The Beats Studio Pro are specifically designed to bring back that thumping bass Beats is known for. They offer improved active noise cancelation and boosted battery life (up to 40 hours with ANC turned off). There's also Spatial Audio support and Beats' signature strong brand look. However, our Beats Studio Pro review found the clamping force high, which may affect comfort levels for some wearers. This 3-in-1 floor cleaner can vacuum and mop at the same time to deep clean hard floors and refresh area rugs. What's more, it comes with a self-cleaning system, antimicrobial brushroll, and Odor Neutralizer for hygiene and to get rid of lingering smells. It's powerful enough to quickly suck up dirt, debris, wet messes and stains to cover all your needs. Note: You'll also get a free $10.51 Amazon credit when you purchase this vac via check: $229 @ Shark Fueled by all-natural hardwood pellets and controlled with a digital controller, this grill can cook up anything from a rack of ribs to a freshly baked pie. All you have to do is set the grill temperature like you would your oven and let your Traeger do the work for you. You'll get consistent results every single time. Announced in November 2024, this is Amazon's first Mini-LED TV. It features a 144Hz refresh rate in tandem with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro support to give gamers ample juice for fast-paced games. The TV also has an Ambient Experience feature, so when it's powered off it displays dynamic artwork. This is also the first Amazon Fire TV to support Dolby Atmos audio. The 2025 iPad Air packs Apple's M3 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display, 128GB of storage, 12MP rear camera, and 12MP front camera. The tablet packs a more powerful 8-core CPU, which makes the M3 up to 35% faster for multithreaded CPU workflows than the iPad Air M1. There's also a 9-core GPU on board with 40% faster graphics performance than the M1. In our iPad Air M3 review we said its fun Apple Intelligence features, reliable battery life (9 hours w/ 41 minutes), and overall thin design make it a winning Apple slate. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera and lower starting price. The MacBook Air M4 supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop's lid open. And it packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM and 256GB SSD. Nothing adds outdoor ambiance like a killer playlist and the very best solar lights. This outdoor-rated pack is built with shatterproof plastic bulbs that are currently 54% off at Amazon. Plug them in when the sun sets and enjoy 27 feet-worth and up to six full hours of a soft, white glow. The Jumbo Joe Grill is the highest-rated portable charcoal grill on Weber's site.

It's easy to use, with a crank system for easy storage, and a push-button tilt to suit your needs. What's more, the 24 solar-powered lights are pre-installed on the eight frame ribs, to illuminate your yard when the sun comes down. Lounge in your backyard, on your patio or poolside in ultimate comfort with this set of padded, weather-resistant reclining chairs. The chairs conform to your body while an adjustable headrest adds an extra level of comfort.

Cushionnaire sale: up to 40% off @ AmazonIf you're in the market for some Birkenstocks this summer but don't want to pay the hefty price, I have the recommendation just for you. Cushionnaire is a brand that makes super comfy slides (among other styles) that resemble Birkenstocks — except they're a fraction of the price. I have a pair of the pictured sandals, which are now up to 40% off and I absolutely love them. I suggest grabbing a pair while they're this cheap! New Balance sale: up to 50% off @ AmazonAmazon is currently hosting a huge New Balance sale that knocks up to 50% off select running shoe styles and athletic apparel. Whether you're looking for a training shoe, a casual pair of sneakers or some new fitness clothing, there's a little something for everyone in the New Balance sale. This vacuum is certified Pet Proven for its ability to effectively remove stubborn pet stains and odors, removing muddy paws, embedded dirt and bio messes.

Compatible with over 30 blends of capsules, the Vertuo Next can make 5, 8, and 18-oz. cups of quality coffee as well as a single and double espresso. What's more, its sleek and attractive design makes it compact for small worktops. We gave this model an excellent 4-star rating in our Shark NeverChange air purifier review and named it the best air purifier for small spaces. It suits rooms up to 650 sq ft, although this is based on one change of air over an hour. With an auto mode, it adjusts the fan speed based on the quality of the air and displays the corresponding data on the panel. It also has Odor Neutralizer Technology that releases a fresh scent in the air. This pretty KitchenAid stand mixer has a large-capacity mixing bowl, three attachments to knead, beat, and whip ingredients, and a pouring shield that prevents splashes. It's super intuitive and has 10 speeds to ensure everything you're mixing is blended perfectly. It also houses a central hub for extra attachments, including a pasta maker or spiralizer.

How one 'messy' influencer turned her passion for organizing into a seven-figure business endorsed by celebs
Despite considering herself a naturally messy person, "RíOrganize" founder Ría Safford was able to turn a side-hustle of helping friends organize their living spaces into a seven-figure luxury home organizing business. Safford spoke to Fox News Digital this week about how her frustration with her own messy lifestyle inspired her to get creative with organizing and grow a flourishing business from that. "I couldn't keep living the way that I live life, which is totally messy, things all over the place, no systems," she said. "And so I was able to figure out systems that worked for myself, and it was at that moment that I knew that I could help other people."MEGHAN MARKLE SAYS SHE STRUGGLED BEFORE FAME AND ROYALTY Currently, Safford's RíOrganize employs professional lifestyle experts to help people find creative and tasteful ways of organizing their spaces. The business helps people reorganize everything from their kitchen pantries to their bedrooms, to even their entire homes. It also provides moving services for clients. "For our bread-and-butter home services, it's typically a whole home – like overhaul of organizing – so helping people edit their inventory, coming up with new storage solutions, and product sourcing, and installing to make the most sense for their life," she said. Safford added that her teams focus on observing clients' habits, to find out "what would make the biggest impact for them to live a routine-ready, stress-free streamlined life." She also described the moving services her company offers, noting she added them to RíOrganize during the COVID-19 pandemic. "We do packing assistance, moving coordination, and then unpacking and whole home organization. That's all within 'relocation,'" she said. When asked where she got the idea for her business, the business owner noted the surprising fact that she is "not your typical organizer." "I'm a naturally messy person and I had a daughter at 24 and when I started having kids, there was just chaos," she said, adding that helped her figure out systems that worked for her and then find ways to help out others. As to the exact spark behind the RíOrganize idea, Safford pointed to an old idea from college, saying she first dreamed it up in a marketing class. She added that once she had her daughter, she "realized very quickly the corporate life wasn't for me" and decided to lean into the business. "What started as a side hustle to, you know, help cover mortgage and be home more, turned into a seven-figure business," Safford said. RíOrganize serves clients in the Los Angeles and Orange County area in California, and has most recently established a team in the Dallas area. It has been featured in People, US Weekly, Better Homes & Gardens, and its famous clients include model Chrissy Teigen. Safford told Fox that one of the biggest breaks for her company came in 2019 when she organized a pantry for Teigen and it blew up on social media. "I'm cooking dinner and my phone starts blowing up. My husband's phone starts to blow up. I'm like, 'what is going on?'" Safford stated. She continued, "People Magazine called me within 10 minutes. [Teigen] had posted a carousel of a pantry that I had done for her, and it was her third or fourth-most liked Instagram post ever. It got like 1.4 million likes. It was totally insane. I ended up getting nearly 200,000 followers cumulatively from that project." Safford explained that she got the Teigen gig after going viral for helping Jen Atkin, the hairstylist for the Kardashians, organize her home in 2019. She said that was the moment her "life changed." When asked if she had any tips for people looking to get more organized on their own, she didn't hold back. "One is, do not purchase without a purpose. And I feel like, so often people are in the aisles of Home Goods or Costco, and they're like, 'Oh my gosh, something's on sale,' or 'Oh my gosh, these jars are so cute. I'll figure out something for it on the backend…' And so you find yourself trying to force your things to work for these products because you bought the products versus having edited and intentionally created a space that you know, OK, I need this product to really help maximize here." The second tip she gave is "giving yourself the appropriate amount of time" to take on reorganizing projects so they actually get done. Watch Ría Safford appear on "Fox & Friends" on June 23 at 6:50 AM ET.

Amazon Prime Day Is Coming — How To Protect Yourself From Scammers
Beware of these Amazon Prime scams. Update, June 21, 2025: This story, originally published on June 19, has been updated to include more advice from Amazon concerning safeguarding access to the account as Prime Day fast approaches, a worrying move by attackers to trick potential victims, as well as details of an anti-scam web browser you might like to try when shopping online. If there's one truism above all others when it comes to cybercriminal hackers, it has to be that they follow the money and the crowd. That is why we see so many attacks that target the likes of Gmail accounts, the Microsoft Windows operating system and, most recently, Facebook passwords. Amazon, as you might expect given its status in the world of online retail, is not immune to this attention. With the retail giant announcing that this year's Prime Day sales will span four days in July, hackers will already be making their nefarious plans. The badness is that last year, Prime Day attacks increased by 80% over the year before. The good news is that Amazon is ready. Here's what you need to know. Amazon Confirms That Prime Day Scams Increased By 80% In 2024 You couldn't make this up. As I was writing this very article, I received a call from a scammer impersonating Amazon, asking if I had ordered an iPhone 13. Yes, seriously. Precisely the kind of threat that Amazon is warning about, at precisely the moment that I write about hackers making their plans for this year. Obviously, I didn't fall for it, and neither will you if you take the advice from Amazon that follows shortly. As Amazon has now confirmed that Prime Day 2025 will take place July 8 through July 11, you can expect to be on the end of such calls, text messages and emails yourself. An Amazon spokesperson told me that 'as deals drop, consumers may also drop their guards, making them more susceptible to scams.' And Amazon has the numbers to make the hairs on your back stand up to support this: 'In the weeks surrounding Prime Day in 2024,' the spokesperson said, 'Amazon customers reported an 80% increase in all impersonation scams that claimed there was an issue with their account.' Unsurprisingly, as in my case, the top threat tactics included claiming to be from Amazon support and warning that there was a problem with your order, account, or payment. 'Impersonation scams via phone calls,' Amazon said, 'more than doubled during Prime Day' last year. Ensure your Amazon account is protected by two-step verification, also known as two-factor ... More authenticion or Advice For Customers To Prevent Account Scam Attacks Amazon has shared the following advice for shoppers, both before and during the Prime Day 2025 sales, on how to stay safe from brand impersonation hackers: Ensure your Amazon account is protected by two-step verification, also known as two-factor ... More authentication or 2FA. Search Engine Poison Makes The Phishing Waters Even More Murky One of the pieces of advice that many cybersecurity professionals will proffer is to trust nothing and verify everything. If someone calls you pretending to be from a vendor, supplier, or brand, then check that the number they are calling from is genuine, they advise. Tell the caller you will hang up and call them back, they say. To do this, you can Google the organisation and get the number, they recommend. They are wrong, and here's just one reason, of many, why. A new report from Malwarebytes has revealed how brand-impersonation scammers are poisoning search engines with fake listings. Nothing particularly new there, the cybercriminals have been doing this for years. The latest attacks, as evidenced by real-world fraud attempts that have been uncovered by Jérôme Segura, senior director of research at Malwarebytes, start with sponsored search results on Google. These results take people to fake support sites, with Apple, Bank of America, Facebook, HP, Microsoft, Netflix, and PayPal mentioned specifically in the report. 'In the cases we recently found,' report author, Pieter Arntz, said, 'the visitor is taken to the legitimate site with a small difference.' That difference is that they land at the help or support section of what appears to be the genuine site, but rather than displaying the legitimate telephone number of the brand concerned, the fraudsters display the number they will be using in their attacks instead. 'The browser address bar will show that of the legitimate site, and so there's no reason for suspicion,' Arntz warned. 'The information the visitor sees will be misleading, because the search results have been poisoned to display the scammer's number prominently in what looks like an official search result.' Malwarebytes has a 'Browser Guard' extension that will display a warning, 'Search Hijacking Detected,' in these circumstances. DuckDuckGo Browser Update Could Help Amazon And Other Shoppers You might also want to look at the browser that you use to access Amazon, especially as the privacy-centric DuckDuckGo has just updated its offering specifically with anti-scam protections that include online shopping threats. Available and active as soon as you fire up the web browser, DuckDuckGo has a built-in Scam Blocker function that protects against phishing sites and malware. Of particular interest, and new in this latest update, is that it now also guards against 'sham e-commerce sites, fake cryptocurrency exchanges, scareware that falsely claims your device has a virus, and other sites known to advertise fake products or services,' according to Peter Dolanjski from DuckDuckGo. Find out more about how Amazon protects customers from scams and the best way to report an incident here.
