The best Amazon deals ahead of Black Friday: Save big on Apple, Bissell and more

Score up to 80% off tech gadgets, home goods, fall essentials, Halloween candy and other goodies thanks to these Amazon deals.

Up for a rather staggering historical tidbit? Several days ago, we marked the anniversary of the Alaska Purchase's conclusion. In 1867, we finally sealed the deal, putting what would turn out to be the largest of the 50 states under the U.S. flag. (How large? Alaska is bigger than Texas, Montana and California combined!) The purchase price? $7.2 million, which breaks down to roughly 2 cents per acre. Score!

That's a reminder that 1) sometimes it pays to think big and 2) you never know when the next memorable sale is going to come your way. Here's a hint — it's probably hiding in plain sight in Amazon's weekly sales blitz, some of whose deals rival Black Friday prices.

With fall in full, technicolor bloom, there's no time like now to get a leaf blower — this leaf blower, which is now at half price ($70, down from $140). Complete the autumnal picture with a pair of Gloria Vanderbilt jeans for a ridonculous $20 and a chic, cozy coatigan (that's a cross between a jacket and a sweater) for just $34, over 50% off. Seriously, this lineup is worth a look — Juneau we wouldn't lie to you!

The fact that this versatile appliance (which functions as both a vacuum and mop) is down to its all-time best price is enough for it to warrant a space in our carts. But throw in a Martha Stewart endorsement, and we're tempted to buy two!

The queen of all things home recently sang its praises in an unsponsored Instagram post, calling it the "best new home appliance." She adds, "The design is simple, the parts easy to clean and anyone can use it ... Rather than sweeping (which raises dust), rather than vacuuming and then mopping, this machine does it all!"

You, your kids and your grandkids will have a blast playing with this highly rated drone, which easily connects to your phone for taking photos and videos from above. Use it in the yard or even bring it on your next trip for a bird's-eye view of your vacation. And yeah: It can do 360-degree flips! 

Full disclosure: We've yet to see it top $90, so the original list price is likely overstated. That said, getting it for $50 is still fab.

Why keep tripping over shampoo bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This popular set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, conditioner and body wash) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall. 

We've seen some colors retail for $70, so the fact that this one is more than 70% less? Grab a set for every bathroom!

You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy. It takes just minutes to pump it back to normal, and you can do all four on a single charge. You can also use it on b-balls, bike tires and balloons. 

Snag it while it's down to the lowest price we've seen (a worthwhile deal, even if the starting price is as inflated as your tires will be).

At 45 pounds, this portable treadmill is light enough that it can be moved around your home, and the fact that it has wheels makes this task even easier. But don't be fooled by its lack of heft — it's still durable enough to support up to 320 pounds. Its three settings include work mode, walking mode and running mode, the fastest reaching up to 3.8 MPH. Via the user-friendly display, you'll be able to track your time, speed, calories and total mileage. (It comes with a remote that you can use to adjust the speed or stop the machine while you're using it.) 

Because it has a quiet motor, you're unlikely to disturb anyone while you're walking — and when your workout is complete, its short profile allows you to slide it under a bed or sofa if you want to store it out of sight.

We recently saw it dip down to $160, which we thought was an excellent price, so the fact that it's even less now? Score!

The "rich mom" trend is popping up everywhere and refers to a timeless, effortlessly put-together aesthetic that looks luxurious and expensive but doesn't necessarily have to break the bank. Case in point: this chic sweatshirt, the epitome of "chic mom running errands" attire.

You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won't get to right away. At just over $3.50 per container, this is a fabulous value.

Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, this top-seller is cordless for even more convenience.

One Yahoo editor gave it a try, writing, "While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn't just 'go off' if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It's also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done."
