This October Prime Day, we've found ourselves as enchanted with lightning as that ol' kite-and-key maven Benjamin Franklin — and we want to pass our own revolutionary discoveries on to you. See, as professional deal hunters, we consider it our duty to let you in on a little secret: Many of the best Amazon Prime Day deals are located in one easy-to-miss section: Lightning Deals.

If you're unfamiliar with Amazon's Lightning Deals, we have the scoop. These are extremely time- and stock-limited markdowns. The discounts typically last for several hours, but if stock runs out, you're outta luck. Just like other Big Deals Days savings, many of these are exclusive to Prime shoppers. They also encompass all types of products — tech, beauty, fashion, kitchen and home items.

Don't want to spend the next two days refreshing your page to see if you can score something good? We'll keep tabs on the top deals and share the ones worth your time and money below. Want to see even more incredible deals? Check out our comprehensive guide to all the best Amazon October Prime Day sales here. Consider us your shopping saviors.
