Amazon’s biggest sale of the year is finally happening. As a dedicated shopping expert, I've been digging through deals for the last month and will be on high-alert all week long.

Plenty of publishers are going to be talking about the big-name products on sale from brands like Dyson and Apple, and don't get me wrong, USA TODAY Shopping will be showcasing those customer-favorite finds, too.

But personally, I prefer finding those hidden, under-the-radar deals. A few of my greatest Amazon discoveries over the last few years have included a mini chainsaw, a laser tape measure and yes, even a cool pair of electric scissors.

And I'm not only looking at tools on sale. This year, I've discovered some 'off the beaten path' Prime Day deals across beauty, home, style and more. Check out my favorite secret deals below and get ready to find your new favorite buy.
