Prime Day Deals on These Essential Household Items Are So Ideal

While Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is a great time to score deals on everything from Apple tech to Le Creuset pots and luggage sets, one of the best hacks I’ve learned as a shopping editor is to shop for household necessities. Over the years, I’ve seen Prime Day offer deep discounts on everyday items like toiletries, diapers and cleaning essentials — plus bulk deals that’ll save you even more cash in the long run. The secret? Just make sure to stick to non-perishables and items you actually use on the daily.

Before the sale ends tonight, October 9 at midnight, I recommend stocking your cart with the products you always seem to running low on. For example, Scotch Tape, at barely more than $1 per roll right now, is at its lowest price in years. It’s an especially practical buy with holiday gift wrapping around the corner. Savings also include up to 48% off everything from laundry pods and window cleaners to sponges, teeth whitening strips and more.

It’s the best time to restock on paper goods like paper towels and the diapers that took home a GH Parenting Award. Note that some items, like the paper towels, will only show a discount at checkout.
