- Wondering when Prime Day ends? You have until tonight at midnight PST to take advantage of the sale.
- My personal Prime Day cart was full of boring deals on everyday essentials like laundry detergent, paper towels, and skincare restocks.
As a shopping editor, this year marks my ninth consecutive Prime Day—so safe to say, this isn't my first rodeo. While everyone on the internet is trying to sway you with the flashiest deals to grab before the sale ends, I'm gonna shoot it to you straight: the actual best Prime Day deals are on everyday essentials that you are going to need to buy anyway.
Since Prime Day ends tonight at midnight, I'm stocking my cart with the un-sexy stuff, like laundry detergent, paper towels, dish soap, and more. Call me boring all you want! But as a self-proclaimed ~Prime Day expert~, I can promise you that that "lowest price ever" tech deal you spotted will probably be beaten in a few months, and TikTok-viral product you just added to your cart likely won't change your life. Instead, you know what you won't regret? Saving major cash on blah-but-necessary purchases you actually need.
So take this as your sign: Save $$$ while restocking your cleaning supplies or pantry—and keep your hard-earned money to splurge on something fun.
