The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it deals are a staple of Amazon Prime Day — but shop quickly, since they don’t last long.

Amazon Prime Day is officially here, offering sales across categories like tech, beauty products and deals under $50 during the four-day event, exclusive to Prime Members. Some of the best discounts to keep your eye on is Lightning Deals, which only run for a few hours and change throughout the day. If you see a Lightning Deal you’re interested in, quickly add it to your cart and checkout before it’s gone.
I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a writer for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best Lightning Deals available right now. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Day.
