As a deals editor who's covered Amazon Prime Day for six years, I've gone through today's early sale and hand-picked the 13 best deals. I've chosen my picks based on popularity during the July Prime Day sale and current sales price. While Amazon typically holds on to its biggest discounts for the official Prime Day sale, today's early deals are very good. A few highlights include the Blink Outdoor security camera on sale for $37.99, the lowest price we've ever seen, and the Fire HD 8 Tablet on sale for $59.99 - another record-low price.

Remember that, unlike Prime Day, today's early deals don't require an Amazon Prime membership - they're available to everyone. You can score an early bargain without worrying about your item selling out and avoid the madness of Amazon Prime Day.
