Prime Big Deal Days kicks off tomorrow, Oct. 6, and it’s a great time to stock up on things you already use every day.
asserted
you → kick → things
Every Prime Day, our editors take advantage of discounts on essentials like batteries, detergent and hand soap.
asserted
editors → take → batteries
But with thousands of deals happening at once, it can also be overwhelming to figure out what’s actually worth your money.
asserted
what → happen → deals
As shopping editors, we research, test and report on products for a living, so we know exactly what and how to shop during major sales.
asserted
we → research → sales
Below, I gathered some of our favorite items that we usually wait to buy until Prime Day rolls around.
asserted
Day → gather → that
Everything our editors buy every Prime Day
Nikki Brown, senior editor
My cat is nearing his senior years and becoming even more picky about what he eats.
asserted
he → buy → what
For the past year or so, the only snack he will eat consistently are Greenies.
asserted
he → eat → year
Thankfully, they have the dental benefits, so I don’t need to feel bad about giving him a little extra sometimes.
asserted
I → have → extra
Shalwah Evans, senior editor
I have chronic shoulder pain in both of my shoulders and when it’s really bad, I wear one of these heat patches through the night (which is when I’m inclined to lean on my shoulders without knowing).
asserted
I → have → shoulders
They take about 15 minutes or so to heat up but once they do, they provide relief for several hours, sometimes still working when I wake up.
asserted
I → take → hours
The adhesive is stronger than that of any other patch (I’ve tried so many), and even when the heat wears off, the patch still holds my shoulder in place almost like KT tape.
asserted
patch → try → tape
I usually buy a few packs during Prime Day sales and they last me a while.
asserted
they → buy → while
If you ever catch me in a meeting on a work-from-home day, you’ll probably see me in this mask.
asserted
you → catch → mask
I like to wear it to keep the skin on my chin taut and to prevent sagging.
asserted
I → like → sagging
I have a reusable mask in the same shape, but it turned out to be too restrictive and uncomfortable.
asserted
it → have → shape
I can wear this one for hours before my ears start to get weary, and it feels cool against my skin.
asserted
it → wear → skin
The collagen, aloe vera and hyaluronic acid formula has never irritated my skin either.
asserted
formula → irritate → skin
My fur baby is such a picky eater that I mostly cook her food myself.
asserted
I → cook → food
Still, she will find a reason not to eat her dinner (I put cranberries in it or the carrots weren’t cooked to her liking), so I started adding this bone broth to add some flavor to it.
asserted
I → find → it
She loves it.
asserted
She → love → it
She only eats kibble occasionally, but when I do give it to her, I add this broth and she gobbles it up.
asserted
she → eat → it
Everything I know about bone broth is positive — it has protein and minerals — so any health benefits that come along with it are a bonus.
asserted
that → know → it
I’ll be adding a couple of these to my cart to get us through winter and until the next Prime Day sale.
asserted
I → add → sale
In case you haven’t figured it out, I’m kind of obsessed with my dog.
asserted
I → figure → dog
For that reason, she’s where I make most of my Prime Day purchases because her necessities, like poop bags, puppy treats and dry food, always need to be replenished.
asserted
necessities → ’ → bags
I like that these come in lots of different colors (in one box if you want) and how thick each bag is.
asserted
bag → like → box
They don’t break on me and a roll lasts a while.
asserted
roll → break → while
This is the sort of thing I stock up on each Prime Day so that I only need to buy them twice a year, when they’re marked down.
asserted
they → stock → them
This may be one of the unsexiest things I’m excited to buy and I’m always even more delighted when it’s on sale.
uncertain
it → ’m → sale
Almost everything gives me heartburn these days — spicy food, wine, garlic, too many onions — so I keep antacids on hand at all times.
asserted
I → give → times
I like these chewy tums because they’re extremely soft (they never feel like they’re going to break my teeth), they don’t taste gross and they work in less than a minute.
asserted
they → like → minute
They don’t mix well with most foods, so I wait at least 10 minutes after chewing one to avoid a gnarly taste in my mouth.
asserted
I → mix → mouth
Mili Godio, commerce editor
After I take my dog Bella out on her daily walks, I always have to clean the city’s dirt and grime off of her paws.
asserted
I → take → paws
My favorite wipes to use are these from Earth Rated, which are super gentle on her paws and smell great.
asserted
which → use → paws
I always stock up during Prime Day, so I never run out when we come back home.
asserted
we → stock → Day
At first, I thought buying disposable towels was a waste of money, but now I can’t imagine my skin care routine without them.
asserted
I → think → them
I’m a germaphobe when it comes to whatever touches my face, so I go through regular face towels very quickly.
asserted
I → ’m → towels
Now, I use a Clean Skin Club towel to dry my face after washing it, and it has been a game changer for my skin since I don’t have to reuse a face towel that collects germs and causes breakouts.
asserted
that → use → breakouts
Prime Day is my excuse to stock up on each and every household essential in my house.
asserted
Day → stock → house
Dawn’s Powerwash dish spray is always on my kitchen counter because it not only leaves my dishes spotless, but the spray bottle also makes less of a mess than the traditional liquid, in my experience.
asserted
bottle → leave → experience
…and 59 more, not listed.
