UPDATE: Oct. 12, 2022, 9:30 a.m. EDT This story has been updated.

With Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target pushing Black Friday-level savings events earlier and earlier each year, the temptation to get your big-ticket holiday shopping done before November is high.

While that's not a bad strategy, these sales aren't just good for picking up the latest MacBook or a new robot vacuum. Amazon's Prime Early Access Sale has also brought some sweet deals on household essentials, so you can save on products that you know will get used up.

To make it simple to save on gifts and everyday essentials in one go, we've rounded up the best deals we could find on everything from cleaning supplies to food storage containers. (Pro tip: You can often save an extra 25% on top of straights discounts if you opt for regularly scheduled deliveries through Amazon's Subscribe & Save program; that offer is only valid for new subscribers.) We'll be updating this list throughout the Prime Early Access Sale from Oct. 11 to 12 as more offers go live, so check back often.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a strikeout were either sold out or no longer available at their sale price when we last looked.
