It’s the second day of Amazon Prime Day, which means if you didn’t take advantage of the sales yesterday, you have until midnight tonight, July 17, to shop some seriously good deals. While there are discounts on big-ticket items, I prefer using Prime Day as an exercise in practicality: I stock up on items I would have bought anyway (as my colleague Arielle Avila wrote about) — except I get them heavily discounted. It’s also a time to snag some items you’ve been eyeing or had in your cart. Yesterday, I got a moka pot, some aloe gel to help soothe my skin after being in the sun all day, and some new ultrafine pens. There’s much more to shop for beyond coffee makers and writing utensils. Below, I’ve rounded up all the best under-$25 products (almost all of which we’ve written about before) on sale for Prime Day.
And if you’re looking to expand your budget beyond $25, you’re in luck — we have lots of recommendations. My colleagues have written about their favorite deals under $50 and the best deals on kitchen and dining products, sleep products, tech gear, travel items, and products for kids and babies. Remember: You must have an Amazon Prime membership to take advantage of these discounts. To stay in the loop on all our latest Prime Day coverage, sign up for our email newsletter.
The Deals I Personally Think Are The Best
There are a lot of deals to browse, but if I had to pick a few items to buy, it would be a tub of this Orgain plant-based protein powder (many protein powders cost, on average, $40 for a two-pound tub — it’s rare to find a two-pound tub for under $25); a multi-pack of Liquid I.V. electrolyte powders (it’s hot out there, and we’re losing lots of electrolytes through our sweat); and Malin + Goetz deodorant (the brand’s products smell great and are high quality, but are often pricier than other skincare brands. So whenever I see them on sale, I add them to my cart). I also recommend these resistance bands (just seven bucks!), which I’ve been using for all sorts of strength workouts and exercises. I’ve had my indestructible Yeti Lowball for a decade, and now it’s only $14. And lastly, I’m stocking up on Clif Bars, which I buy — begrudgingly —for $3.99 per bar at my local bodega, so getting 16 of them for $19 feels like a steal.
