The best early October Prime Day kitchen deals: We found live Ninja and Keurig deals worth grabbing

Cooking at home is supposed to save money, but between grocery prices and the cost of decent appliances, it doesn't always feel like it.

Amazon's October Prime Day (officially Prime Big Deal Days) doesn't start until Oct. 6, but many early kitchen deals are already live. If you need a new air fryer, want to upgrade your morning coffee station, or just need to replace a worn-out pan without spending a fortune, we found the best early discounts to grab right now.

Best kitchen deal

Why we like it

At $149.99 (down from $229.99), the Ninja Foodi 10-Quart DualZone is just 99 cents above its all-time low.

Instead of cooking in batches or relying on your oven, it gives you two separate 5-quart baskets that run at different temperatures simultaneously. The Smart Finish setting automatically syncs the timers so both baskets finish cooking at the exact same time, while Match Cook lets you duplicate settings across both sides for full 10-quart meals. It also includes six standard functions — air fry, broil, roast, bake, dehydrate, and keep warm — and has enough total capacity to handle about eight pounds of wings.
