Nine days to Oct 6. This is the oddest shopping week of the year: prices are already dropping, but the real floors land next week. The rule this week is discipline — buy only what won’t get cheaper on Oct 6-7, and hold everything else. Here is what is actually worth grabbing now.

A phone showing a shopping page on a sofa with coffee and a shopping bag — This week: buy consumables, hold the big items — illustrative scene, not an owner photo.

Buy now: won’t get better on Oct 6-7

Accessories and consumables: filter packs, mop pads, SD cards. Event discounts rarely apply to these — grab the steady 15-20% drops now.
Amazon Renewed units: the refurbished tier has its own pricing rhythm and usually skips event-day movement.
Third-party brand deals: non-Amazon brand sales (Wyze, Tapo flash sales) run on their own calendar — when they dip 20%, that’s the dip.

Wait: these floor on Oct 6-7

Wyze Cam v4 white security camera with 2.5K video — Wyze Cam v4 — multipacks floor on Oct 6-7, not this week (product image).

Flagship robots: X50 Ultra, Saros 10R, Qrevo Master class — hold; the $100-300 event drops are coming.
Mid-range robots: Qrevo S class — hold; $379-399 is the event floor, not today’s price.
Reolink bundles: Argus 4 Pro + panel and TrackMix bundles historically hit yearly lows on event day.
Wyze and Tapo multipacks: multi-cam kits drop hardest during events, not this week.

Across Chinese owner communities

The pre-event week on 什么值得买 has one ritual: “这周只补耗材，下周才上主力.” Veterans keep a running watchlist and refuse everything that isn’t a consumable — the most common regret in last year’s threads is buying a mid-range robot in late September and seeing it $50 cheaper on Oct 6. Set the targets now; the waiting is the strategy.

Honest catch

Some prices this week will look tempting — that’s the point. The “deal of the day” on a mid-range robot in late September is usually the event price minus the event discount, padded with a bigger reference number. If a SKU is on our wait list, a red label this week doesn’t change the floor next week.

Bottom line

Nine days out: buy consumables and renewals now, hold every robot and camera on the watchlist for Oct 6-7. The event floors are real and they are close — the most expensive purchase this week is the one that doesn’t wait.
