In case you don’t know, Prime Day 2020 is going on now and ends Wednesday, Oct. 14. Though the “holiday” is synonymous with Amazon, it also inspires plenty of alternative Prime Day sales from retailers like Walmart and Target. You’ll find markdowns across the internet on everything from AirPods Pro to the Instant Pot.
Some noteworthy early Prime Day deals included this Toshiba 32-inch Smart HD Fire TV for $119 and the Revlon One-Step hair dryer and volumizer hot brush for half-off.
Our shopping editors know a good deal when they see one. They’ve been clicking and scrolling away for weeks ahead of Prime Day, on the hunt to weed out the best deals from the unremarkable ones.
And while they’ve been figuring out what you should buy from The Home Depot instead of Amazon and comparing Target’s Prime Day deals vs. Amazon’s Prime Day deals, they’ve been adding a few things to their own carts, too.
So what does a shopping editor buy when they spend their day looking at sales and deals? From a water flosser to an office chair that’s not ugly, here’s what our editors are buying for themselves from all of the Prime Day deals happening now.
Take a look below:

A set of creepy coasters to use well past All Hallows’ Eve

Target
To get in the spirit, I’ve been slowly trying to find Halloween decor that could actually stay out past Halloween. Of course, I don’t want to overspend. Luckily, there are lots of cheap Halloween essentials at Target right now. While these coasters aren’t on sale, they’re too creepy to pass up so adding them to my cart.
They’re a part of the John Derian for Threshold collection, which is full of spooky finds that are ideal for any horror fan (I bought a skeleton pillow from the collection when it first dropped that’s sold out currently). I missed these coasters when I first shopped from the collection, but I can’t miss out on them again. You can get the set for $10 now at Target. — Pardilla
