Everyday essentials to watch for on Prime Day
Amazon is a great place to pick up everyday essentials, from home products and cleaning supplies to pet food and clothing basics. And Prime Day is the ideal time to stock up and save.
Cleaning supplies
Amazon Basics 2-Ply Paper Towels
15% OFF
If you like to buy in bulk, you might be tempted by this 12-pack of paper towels. It contains a total of 1,800 sheets, which should keep you going for a while. Currently, the price is down to $19.52 from $22.86.
Stardrops The Pink Stuff
16% OFF
This is known as the miracle cleaning paste for a reason. It does a great job of removing tough grime from pretty much anywhere — stoves, tiles, wood, silverware, toilets, sinks — all without scratching. Originally priced at $5.97, it costs just $4.99.
Scrub Mommy Special Edition Scratch-Free Multipurpose Dish Sponges
7% OFF
You've probably already met Scrub Daddy. Now meet Scrub Mommy! These sponges have the same temperature-controlled scrubbing surface, but with a dual-sided design, featuring a softer surface as well. We love that they're scratch-free and odor-resistant. They’re now $13.99, down from $14.99.
Home and kitchen supplies
KitchenAid All-Purpose Kitchen Shears
25% OFF
Every kitchen needs a good pair of shears, but it's the sort of essential you might forget about until you need it. This pair of shears from KitchenAid is sharp with micro-serrations along the blades for superior cutting. They cost $8.99, down from $11.99.

Health and beauty products
CeraVe AM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
32% OFF
What's great about this face moisturizer is that it also offers broad-spectrum protection from the sun. Unusually for a face cream with sunscreen, it absorbs easily and doesn't leave a greasy finish. At the moment, the price is down to $13.56 from $19.99.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment
6% OFF
If you suffer from extremely dry hands or skin that gets cracked and painful, this healing ointment can work wonders. This pack consists of a 14-ounce jar for home use and a 1.75-ounce tube you can carry around with you. It’s currently $26.68, down from $28.45.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Body Wash
22% OFF
With soothing oats, this body wash is an ideal choice for dry skin. It nourishes rather than drying skin the way that some soaps can. At present, a 33-ounce bottle costs $13.48, down from $17.31.
Everyday clothing
Hanes Men's Essentials T-Shirts (4-Pack)
33% OFF
We're all searching for that perfect black tee, and this one from Hanes is certainly a contender. It's made from cotton with a classic fit and a crew neck. A pack of four, which retails for $25, now costs $17.50. You can also buy them in different colors and pack sizes, but discounts vary.
Adidas Women’s Athletic Cushioned Socks (6-Pack)
50% OFF
From holes in the toes to the dryer seemingly swallowing them, it can feel like we're constantly replacing socks. These classic cushioned crew socks are made with moisture-wicking yarn and feel comfortable all day. A pack of six white pairs now costs $11, down from $22.
Pet supplies
Blue Buffalo Life Protection Formula Natural Adult Small Bite Dry Dog Food
17% OFF
With its chicken and brown rice formula, this dog food contains plenty of protein from meat and heart-healthy wholegrains. It has a small kibble size, which is great for small dogs — and dogs who simply prefer small kibble. A 30-pound bag is now down to $59.99 from $71.99.
Weruva Classic Cat Food (24-Pack)
24% OFF
You get 24 cans of cat food in this pack, with four flavors, so it's great for cats who like variety in their diets. They're made without gluten or grains and chicken is the main ingredient. Originally priced at $42.96, each pack now costs $32.65.
Tips for finding the best everyday essentials deals on Prime Day
- Using the Amazon app, Prime members can get automatic alerts when products in a wishlist are reduced in price, helping you find great deals on your favorite essentials.
- Sometimes you can save even more money by getting a regular subscription, so a product will be automatically delivered at an interval of your choice.
- With so many great deals around, you might have to prioritize — think about what you use regularly, the size of your household and how much space you have for storage. You might want to think twice about buying that jumbo box of detergent if you live alone and have minimal storage space.
Alternatives to consider if you miss out on the Prime Day deals
- There are tools such as Honey and CamelCamelCamel you can use to track prices so you don't miss out on the best deals.
- Missed Prime Day? The next big sales events are likely to be Labor Day in September and Black Friday in November.
- Outside of Prime Day, you can shop around at retailers other than Amazon to look for the best prices on everyday essentials.
