The temperatures are dropping, which means it’s time to mark your calendars.
First, the good news. October Prime Day is just around the corner! Amazon’s major two-day shopping event runs on Oct. 8 and 9 this year, bringing Prime members the best deals of the season, on top of free same-day and two-day shipping on all the essentials.
If there is one early Prime Day deal to swipe up ahead of the chillier days, it has to be the Amazon #1 best-selling GoodBaby No-Touch Thermometer.

Unfortunately, cold and flu season is also approaching, which means it’s time to prepare. As a mom of a one-year-old, I know the drill. Stock up on everything. Last year, my daughter’s pediatrician provided me with a cold-season survival kit, and I’ve taken note. The first item on the list was a simple, reliable no-touch thermometer. I headed straight to Amazon and snatched one up.
While Prime Day hasn’t officially kicked off, there are still some hot deals lining up, and the GoodBaby No-Touch Thermometer is no exception at 43% off. Score this limited-time deal before it’s gone, and check back for more early Prime Day coverage at Post Wanted!
GoodBaby’s No-touch Thermometer is designed for people of all ages, with an easy grip, large backlit display, and three color modes to indicate low, regular, and high readings. There is even a built-in fever alarm, making it easier than ever to know when it’s time to head to the Doctor.
As a new mom, I wouldn’t have gone with anything but a no-touch thermometer. Like many toddlers, my daughter doesn’t hold still, so a forehead scan is pretty much as good as it’s going to get. All you have to do is point, press, and receive an instant reading in the blink of an eye.
It’s no wonder the GoodBaby thermometer is marked as a No. 1 Amazon Bester-seller and has racked up over 100,000 reviews. No fuss, no meltdowns, and great value. For a limited time, Prime members can take home this no-touch thermometer for under $20. Take it from me — it’s a worthwhile investment.
