Aside from the early Fourth of July deals rolling in, there are already excellent Prime Day discounts on tech, essentials, fitness gear and more -- and you can find it all right here. And for the extreme bargain hunters, tons of deals are just 10 bucks or less. Many shoppers this year are using Prime Day to offset rising costs amid tariffs. That's why we've rounded up the best early Prime Day deals under $10, to help you maximize your savings while getting what you need, and want. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Our dedicated team of experts here at CNET is continuing to work around the clock to track down the best deals still available.

And ever since, bargain hunters have eagerly awaited its return every summer. The Prime Day sale event has historically taken place in July, and this year is no exception. Amazon often has other sales throughout the year, including a second Prime Day-like sale in October and the Big Spring Sale, which took place earlier this year. We know Prime Day is still a few weeks away, but we're covering all the essentials well ahead of time, including everything from signing up for Amazon Prime and returning Prime Day purchases to getting Prime Day deals for free and utilizing extra Prime perks. Should you shop July 4th Sales or Prime Day? There's no doubt that there will be tons of deals during both events. However it's not about when to shop, but what to shop for. If you're looking for outdoor things like a patio set or power tools, Fourth of July sales will bring you more savings. But if you're looking for electronics or smart home gadgets, you'll have better luck during Prime Day. And if you don't have anything specific in mind, enjoy shopping all these deals for just about half the month of July. Will tariffs impact this year's Prime Day deals? Tariffs are top of mind for most Americans, and it could impact this year's Prime Day event. Prices on items like electronics could very well increase, with companies like Apple trying to avoid so by moving manufacturing operations elsewhere. The tariffs are currently paused but only until July, right when Prime Day begins. How to keep up with the best Prime Day sales There are a lot of ways to ensure you're getting the latest scoop on Prime Day offers. The CNET Deals team covers all the best price drops, discounts and deals every day from across the web, highlighting the best offers.

An inflatable pool if you're anything like me and ready to bust out the swimsuit as soon as the temperature hits 65 degrees. Now you can kick back and sip on a glass of lemonade while cooling off, even if you've only got a tiny backyard. Or a family-friendly backyard sprinkler that's your one-way ticket to staying cool without the hassle of filling and dumping a massive kiddie pool. Just set it up and let everyone splash around and enjoy — when you're done, there won't be a giant pool of water to deal with. It's easy, refreshing, and sure to be a hit with the whole crew!

A set of DEET-free mosquito-repelling bracelets if your plans are packed with hiking, camping, and all things outdoorsy, but you can't stand sticky, smelly bug sprays. With these bracelets, you can forget about constantly reapplying spray and enjoy the great outdoors bug-free. Plus, they're super cute, easy to wear, and — most importantly — keep mosquitoes at bay without the need for harsh chemicals. Or a mosquito repellent patio shield that creates an invisible 15-foot barrier, keeping those pesky skeeters at bay without the need for bug spray or citronella candles. Think of it as having your own personal force field that lets you actually enjoy your time outside. Some flame colorant ready to turn your ordinary bonfire into a spectacular light show. It's like having a bit of witchcraft up your sleeve, and it's sure to leave your friends and family spellbound. A reversible floral one-piece swimsuit you'll be looking for any excuse to wear, whether you're splashing around in the pool or pairing it with shorts for a day out.

This fast-paced game promises giggles and friendly competition. Plus, it comes with a handy travel clip, so you can make sure no card gets left behind when it's time to go inside. A pre-swim hair cream so you can protect your gorgeous locks from the pool's damaging chlorine. This miracle cream helps keep your tresses silky smooth and vibrant, even after endless hours in the water — so no more worrying about your mane turning into a dry, tangled mess or your gorgeous blonde hair taking on an unwanted green tint. A pack of underarm shields designed to soak up sweat (and stop odors) before it even has a chance to stain your shirt. Now you can enjoy all of your summer activities without the embarrassment of sweat stains or funky smells. An umbrella tray table that attaches directly to your beach or pool umbrella, keeping your sunscreen, sunglasses, or that novel you've been dying to read within arm's reach and off the ground. A doggie sunscreen to protect your furry four-legged adventure buddy from the sun's harsh rays. This nongreasy, all-over spray is perfect for protecting those sensitive spots like bellies, noses, ears, paws, and legs that can easily get sunburned. No matter the breed, this sunscreen is a must-have, but it's especially awesome for pups with white or pink skin and those with thinner, shorter coats. A cut-to-size aloe wrap in case you end up with that dreaded, painful sunburn despite your best efforts with sunscreen. Just cut it to the desired size, wrap it around your burn, and let the natural aloe work its magic. It's like a refreshing, healing hug for your sun-stressed skin. A Scumbug for keeping your pool or hot tub sparkling clean all summer long. This clever sponge soaks up all the oils, sunscreen, and other icky stuff that inevitably builds up from use. Just toss it in and let it get to work — when you notice it getting a bit discolored, simply wring it out, give it a quick rinse, and pop it back in. It's as simple as that!

Explosive TGA development after 16 of Australia's most trusted sunscreens failed SPF test in bombshell CHOICE report
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) will investigate CHOICE's bombshell report that revealed 16 out of 20 popular sunscreens failed to meet Australia's strict SPF 50+ regulations. The consumer watchdog tested 20 of the country's most trusted sunscreen products to see if they matched their SPF 50 claims on their labels. In a worrying finding, 16 sunscreens failed to provide the level of protection claimed on their packaging - including big brands such as Cancer Council, Neutrogena, Banana Boat, Bondi Sands, Coles and Woolworths. But the most alarming results came from one of the most expensive sunscreens tested - Ultra Violette's Lean Screen SPF50+ Mattifying Zinc Sunscreen, which retails for $52. CHOICE's results shockingly claimed the brand's cult-favourite Lean Screen was one of the worst performing sunscreens on the market - delivering an extremely low SPF rating of just four. The experts were 'so perturbed' by the results of its extraordinary first experiment that they conducted a second test at an independent lab in Germany, where the result came back with a reported SPF of 5. The consumer advocacy organisation has since called on the TGA to urgently investigate and conduct independent testing of the average SPF of sunscreens that did not meet their lofty label claims. And on Tuesday the TGA told Daily Mail Australia it had formally launched an investigation. 'We are investigating the CHOICE findings and will take regulatory action as required,' a spokesman said. The TGA said it could not comment on individual matters - including whether specific products may be subject to investigation or compliance and enforcement activity, or the status of any such investigation and activity due to privacy and legal restrictions. 'It is a requirement under therapeutic legislation that statements on sunscreen labels are truthful and not misleading,' the spokesman said. 'It is also a legislative requirement that a sponsor of a therapeutic sunscreen product holds evidence that supports the SPF claim they make at the time they include the medicine in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG).' The TGA noted there is a high variability in SPF testing results across laboratories because testing on humans can be highly subjective and the response to a test can differ dramatically from one person to another. CHOICE's report has sparked widespread outrage, with many consumers now questioning whether their favourite sunscreens are truly safe to use. The consumer watchdog has stood firm on its independent sunscreen testing, conducted under the guidance of industry experts in specialised, accredited laboratories. The experts are so confident in their findings they have released the lab reports for the 20 products tested - including the 16 that failed. 'All 16 sunscreens that didn't meet their claims were tested to a 10-person panel, in accordance with the Australian/New Zealand Sunscreen Standard,' said Ashley de Silva, the consumer watchdog's CEO. 'As Australia's leading consumer advocacy organisation, CHOICE has been testing products for decades, and we take our commitment to independence and scientific rigour extremely seriously.' All sunscreen products tested by CHOICE underwent blind testing, a standard method used to minimise bias and improve validity in scientific research. 'Sunscreen testing is costly. CHOICE - an independent, member-funded non-profit - funded this work entirely ourselves due to its importance for consumers,' Mr de Silva said. 'We believe the discrepancy between our test results and those provided by manufacturers warrants further investigation by the TGA.' Ultra Violette responds to CHOICE At Ultra Violette we take misleading claims made about our products very seriously. Ultra Violette is deeply committed to the health and safety of our customers and only work with reputable, TGA licensed manufacturers who perform substantial quality release testing in accordance with the strictest SPF standards in the world. Given our commitment to producing the highest quality sunscreens for consumers, we do not accept these results as even remotely accurate. Ultra Violette first completed testing for Lean Screen in 2021 (with results of SPF of 64.32 to allow for an SPF 50+ rating), and again in 2024. However, to ensure complete transparency and peace of mind for our customers, we proactively initiated another urgent SPF test of the batch in question in April this year (2025). We retested our product in a full 10-person panel and the results have come back at 61.7, which is above the threshold required by the TGA to make a 50+ claim. Choice's recent retest only included 5 participants, where 2 results were considered non validated, resulting in a sample size of only 3. We rigorously retest our entire SPF range every two years. Lean Screen has been on the market for 5 years in 29 countries and we have not received a single substantiated claim of sunburn during use – reinforcing our confidence in the testing we have. If the Choice results represented the actual level of protection offered, we would have had hundreds of cases of reported sunburn and skin damage while using this product in real life situations. Read the full Ultra Violette statement and the April 2025 re-test result here. To facilitate blind testing, all 20 sunscreens were decanted into amber glass jars, sealed, labelled and transported in accordance with strict instructions provided by Eurofins Dermatest - the accredited lab CHOICE used for testing. 'After Ultra Violette's product returned an SPF of 4 when tested at the Sydney lab, we sent a different batch to an accredited, specialised laboratory in Germany, the Normec Schrader Institute, for a validation test,' Mr de Silva said. 'This product was also decanted into an amber glass jar, sealed, labelled and transported... The validation test returned an SPF of 5. 'We did this testing because it's in line with our mission to work for fair, safe and just markets for Australian consumers. 'Millions of people rely on SPF ratings to understand the sun protection they're paying for, and expect these ratings to be as accurate as possible.' On Friday, Ava Chandler-Matthews, co-founder of Ultra Violette, addressed the backlash after CHOICE claimed Lean Screen SPF50+ had an SPF of 4 when tested. 'We obviously freaked out, [and] took it very seriously immediately,' she said. The results she said, visibly emotional, 'were all consistent SPF rating of over 60 and we stand behind the tests we've done'. Ava said Ultra Violette conducts its sunscreen testing at a reputable laboratory, commonly used by many other sunscreen brands for similar testing. Fighting back tears, the beauty entrepreneur expressed her devastation - not only for the brand but also for the growing mistrust this situation might foster among Aussie consumers. 'My concern with this whole thing is that people will now no longer trust any sunscreen. This isn't just about us... It's just knowing that the consumer can trust the sunscreens they're wearing,' she said. 'This will mean nothing to you but I put Lean Screen on my own children - and I still would tomorrow.' Addressing her consumers directly, Ava said the company has in-house regulators and has followed all the correct, rigorous testing procedures. After CHOICE sent Ultra Violette the receipt showing where the product was purchased, Ava and her team were able to identify the batch number the test sample came from. 'We checked that the SPF, [and] the zinc levels in the product were as we have put on the packaging, which was 22.75 per cent zinc,' she said. 'That is almost a quarter of the entire formulation is zinc, and they were within spec, so there was no issue from a manufacturing point of view.' Within the same hour, the sunscreen brand organised an urgent 10-panel SPF test at an independent third party lab. She said those new tests, done on 10 real people as required by the TGA, returned SPF scores of 64 and 61.7. 'We are a sunscreen brand, we live and die by what we put in the market,' Ava said. As founders, Ava said she and her co-founder Bec Jefferd deeply involved in every aspect - from formulation and testing to regulatory compliance and the entire process of bringing a sunscreen to market. 'We now have three SPF tests done on 30 people that show where they've got a consistent result,' she said. 'We are as baffled as you are. Please know we are taking this so seriously.' According to TGA, a product's SPF rating indicates how effective the sunscreen is against sunburn from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In Australia, sunscreens are regulated as either cosmetics or therapeutic goods depending on a number of factors, such as their ingredients, health claims and SPF. Sunscreens with a primary purpose of UV protection are considered to be therapeutic goods and are regulated by us to ensure their safety, quality and efficacy. In its report, CHOICE highlighted that the SPF factor was not tested independently, with the regulator relying purely on reports supplied by manufacturers from accredited laboratories. All sunscreen formulas in Australia are required to be approved by the TGA.

Amazon just announced Prime Day 2025. These are the dates and best early deals
Our readers' favorite early Amazon Prime Day deals Apple iPad (11th Gen): $349 $299 Weber 12-Inch 3-Sided Grill Brush: $16 $12 Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler: $275 $220 Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush: $50 $35 with on-page coupon Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum: $27 $20 Amazon has officially announced the dates for its upcoming Prime Day sale. The mega-retailer is officially entering its second decade of hosting the annual summer sale event and is using the milestone as an opportunity to introduce some changes, so there are plenty of new tidbits to unpack. This year, Prime Day starts on Tuesday, July 8. However, Amazon is mixing it up from previous years by running the event for four full days — all the way through Friday, July 11. That's twice the typical 48 hours, meaning double the opportunities to save. This marks the first major change to the duration of the summer Prime Day festivities since back in 2017 when the third-ever sale changed from one day to two days. Featured early Prime Day dealApple AirTag: $29 $25 Every summer travel routine needs an AirTag for peace of mind. Amazon just took $4 off the usual price tag to make the essential a little more affordable. While the dates are shifting, the deals are not. Prime Day is going to mean markdowns on items in just about every product category that Amazon sells. That includes the usual suspects like consumer electronics, home goods, kitchen appliances, televisions and so much more. I'm also expecting to see a focus on seasonal products for the summer, with deeper deals on fans, camping must-haves, grills, patio furniture and other outdoor essentials. The deals team here at CNN Underscored, including myself and fellow savvy shoppers Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo, is dialed in to helping you save 365 days a year. We shift into overdrive during larger events like Prime Day, combing through the web to find the very best of the best price cuts. For this summer's sale, we'll be extending our expertise to the rest of our staff, helping tech aficionados, beauty experts, fashion maestros and other editors cover their preferred verticals. So, you won't just be hearing from me; you'll be able to shop curated guides written by experts. After all, we're constantly reviewing and testing the latest tech, beauty and home goods, and that hands-on experience means we can recommend products we've used ourselves. Just because the upcoming Prime Day sale is a couple of weeks away doesn't mean you have to wait to save. Ahead of time, I'm tracking some notable Amazon deals that are at some of the best prices of the year and worth shopping now to beat the rush. Apple AirPods Pro 2 With USB-C Ahead of Prime Day, Apple's newest AirPods Pro 2 are down to the best price to date. Given they are already $79 off, I doubt these will drop any lower during the actual four-day event. These earbuds have been selling out over the past few savings events, so now is your chance to lock in the all-time low and beat the rush before what happened over Memorial Day weekend repeats itself and they go out of our review Ego Power+ Self-Propelled Electric Lawn Mower LM2135SP At nearly 50% off, this electric lawn mower is your best bet for taming your yard this summer. Alongside the Power+ mower, you'll also get a charger and two batteries for an extended run time. This offer is a new Amazon all-time low and likely won't drop any further over actual Prime Day — that is, if it's still in stock by July. Read our review Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler in Wild Vine Red This wine-colored cooler is slightly smaller than our pick for the best Yeti cooler but is every bit as capable otherwise. It can hold up to 20 cans of your favorite beverages and keeps things cool with its PermaFrost Insulation. This model rarely goes below retail, and now it's over $50 off. Apple iPad (11th Gen) Apple just updated its most affordable iPad with this 11th-generation model, and it immediately climbed to the top of our list for the best iPad. Now it's at its best price yet with this $50 discount. This is another safe bet to score ahead of time, as there's hardly any chance a deal this good will be beaten over Prime Day. Read our review Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan The very first price cut on this unique fan just went live at Amazon. It'll keep you cool this summer with the usual blowing features you'd expect from a fan, just with some added tech that can spray a cooling mist over you on those especially hot days. Sunnyglade 9-Foot Patio Umbrella Give your summer guests some shade for all the future picnics from now through Labor Day with this massive outdoor umbrella. Its 9-foot diameter provides plenty of shade and is now up to $21 off its usual price tag. Worx Cordless Electric String Trimmer and Edger Even if you're not ready to make the switch to an electric lawn mower, your toolshed at least deserves an energy-efficient string trimmer. This model is $20 off and lands at the lowest price of the year with a battery and charger included in the box. Apple AirTag I recommended my father take one of these with him on a recent trip, and he appreciated the extra peace of mind it offered in case his luggage got lost on the flight. This spring Apple AirTag deal comes close to the best price I've tracked and arrives just in time for anyone else looking to bring the same reassurance to their upcoming our review Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush Save an extra $5 on our pick for the best electric toothbrush when you clip the on-page coupon. It's within $5 of the all-time low and is the second-best price to date. Read our review Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Propane Grill Whether you're planning to take this with you camping or tailgating, or you just want a compact grill for the patio that folds away when not in use, the Coleman RoadTrip 285 offers a large cooking surface and the flexibility to switch between different grates. Plus, with 285 square inches of grilling space, you can easily tackle a large-scale picnic. Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum Cleaner Many of our editors at CNN Underscored fawn over their Dysons, including me. Now this affordable V8 Plus model is down to within $20 of its best price this year. It may drop back to the all-time low come Prime Day, but if you need a vacuum sooner, this is still at the top of my recommendation list. Apple 13-Inch MacBook Air M4 This $150 discount on the newest MacBook Air is one of the best I've tracked since it launched earlier this spring. I expect Prime Day will offer a slightly better deal but likely just on a specific color. These price cuts apply across the board, so you aren't left compromising on the design. Read our review Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum My fellow deals editor Jacqueline Saguin recently wrote home about how much she loved Neutrogena's Hydro Boost serum. She found it to be deeply hydrating, lightweight and gentle on her sensitive, eczema-prone skin. It's now an even better buy at $7 off the usual price tag. Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds When our senior tech editor Mike Andronico got his hands on these new buds, he noted that all the improvements 'add up to some of the best workout headphones [he's] tested.' I was eager to check them out for myself after that, and today's $50 discount to an all-time low makes it an even easier recommendation to take. Read our review Bissell Little Green Max Pet Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner Our pick for the best vacuum for pet messes, the Little Green Max is seeing a rare $25 discount ahead of Prime Day. It's a more powerful version of the internet's favorite carpet cleaner and combines the original's smaller size with extra power for intense cleanup of pet messes. Plus, a longer hose and cord give you more wiggle room in tough-to-reach areas, and the stain tool can help scrub out the worst spots easily. Read our review Weber 12-Inch 3-Sided Grill Brush Before friends and family come over for a barbecue on July 4th, make sure to clean off the grill with this three-sided grill brush. This official Weber grilling accessory is now down to its best price of the year at 23% off. Apple Watch Series 10 If you're serious about living a healthier life, wearing an Apple Watch is a great first step to monitor progress. Whether you're like me and training for a marathon or just want to keep tabs on whether you're getting enough sleep or taking enough steps, it can track all kinds of essential health stats to help inform your goals. Read our review Traeger Grills Pro 22 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker Traeger has a pretty devoted following because of its efficient wood pellet setup, and now you can see why for far less. This model has received an over $160 discount for spring, and on top of just grilling, it can also smoke, bake, braise and roast. Shark AV2820AE PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum The early Prime Day deals on this robot vacuum are some of the best I've ever seen. On top of just being a whopping 56% off, it also features a 60-day capacity and autonomous tech to cross sweeping off your chore list for good. This is a new all-time low that won't be beaten by Prime Day. Apple AirPods 4 Apple's latest entry-level earbuds are down to the Amazon all-time low ahead of Prime Day. I doubt Amazon will drop these any lower than this $30-off sale price, and even if it does, it won't be that much lower than the existing offer. Read our review Prime Day may be an Amazon event, but that doesn't mean it will be the only retailer to get in on the savings. In recent years, Best Buy, Target and Walmart have all launched competing events to give Amazon's summer event a run for its money. We're expecting much of the same for the upcoming 2025 sale. It entirely depends on what you're shopping for! There's sure to be plenty of overlap between the retailers, but it's likely the online storefronts will all fight to offer the best price cuts. Amazon will be setting the pace, of course, but anticipate other major stores dishing out deep discounts of their own. Luckily, you can leave it to us at CNN Underscored to scour the internet and report back so you're not left checking everything yourself. First things first: Make sure you have an Amazon Prime membership. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial, after which your membership will cost $15 per month or $139 per year. In addition to fast, free two-day shipping, you'll have access to Prime Video, ad-free music streaming, unlimited photo storage and unlimited Prime Reading. Many of Prime Day's best deals, including Lightning Deals (we'll get to those in a second), are only available to Prime members. Once your membership is all squared away, you should take some time to ensure your payment methods, including 1-Click settings and default delivery, are up to date so that you can snag your desired deals in a timely fashion. Additionally, Prime members can set up deal alert notifications related to their recent Amazon searches and recently viewed items on the Amazon app between now and the event. Once Prime Day begins, members will receive push notifications on any available deals. Finally, be sure to follow CNN Underscored on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok; sign up for our newsletters, including our deals-specific newsletter; and check our site often. On Amazon Prime Day — and every other day of the year — we'll be highlighting the best deals around the clock that you won't want to miss.
