Perks and Rec: Prime Early Access is here

Prime Early Access is here, and it's the perfect time to give your wallet a break and stock up on the things you use everyday. We've found some of the best basics on sale; all you have to do is press "add to cart."

Make sure you have enough batteries for all your presents and decor this holiday season. Grab some rechargeable ones from Amazon Basics for 30% off. And while you're at it, be sure to get some lightbulbs — these smart lightbulbs connect to your Alexa or Google Home for hands-free control.

Keep your pearly whites sparkling with a pack of Crest whitening strips, and track your fitness goals with a smart bathroom scale. And if you've got an overflowing closet, kid's room or crafting space, use some storage bags to get it organized. 

If you've been waiting to pull the trigger on AirPods, now's your chance. Snag a pair of AirPods (2nd gen) with a lightning charge case for just $90.

Be sure to check on our Prime Early Access roundup for the most up-to-date deals and steals. And don't worry — we'll be in your inbox tomorrow for day two.

Happy shopping.
