Perks and Rec: This security camera system is 60% off

Welcome to October, friends. If you're in search of the spookiest sales out there, you're in luck—we've rounded up all the best Halloween sales so you can get those costumes and candy at a discount. Go ahead, grab yourself a treat. 

October also brings us Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days. Although the sale doesn't officially start until next week, we're already seeing major markdowns pop up on some of our favorite things, from tech to kitchen essentials. Right now, you can snag this three-camera outdoor security system for just $100 (that's $150 off). We found that it's easy to set up and use, and it's wire free. 

A few other notable discounts ahead of Big Deal Days: this Cricut heat press that's great if you're getting crafty this Halloween, an air fryer large enough to feed your family (and then some) and this heated throw blanket that'll come in handy this winter. 

Happy shopping,
