Prime Day Fatigue? Outsmart the System by Restocking on Household Staples

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. Think about it this way: The more you save on “boring” items like paper towels and diapers, the more you have to spend on things you actually want. After all, you were going to buy these products anyway, so why not take advantage of this opportunity to save?

Head Straight to Our Prime Day Picks Here

Here, I scoured the steepest October Prime Day deals on all your everyday essentials. That includes savings of up to 55% on everything from laundry pods and window cleaners to sponges, teeth whitening strips and more. But act fast: Chances are most of these deals will disappear once Big Deal Days ends!
