But wait, what is Amazon Prime Day?
You may be thinking “But wait…didn’t we just have Prime Day? It was the golden day of July, but this It’s Prime Day in October, better known as Amazon Prime Day. In other words, many of the sales you saw this summer will be back for you to shop from Tuesday, October 8 to Wednesday, October 9. For all Deal Day sales, you do need to be a Prime member. You still have time to sign up for a 30-day free trial, just make sure you’re logged into your new account after you start shopping.
kitchen essentials
You may have added replacement phone chargers, skincare products like sunscreen and moisturizer, smart plugs, and light bulbs to your Amazon shopping cart, but small kitchen tools are also great items to buy on sale days. Shop our all-time favorite spatulas, vegetable choppers, and vintage can openers that’ll make you wonder why people are still trying to improve on already-perfect designs. A salad spinner may seem like a redundant kitchen tool, but we can attest that once you own one, your salad-making life will change forever.
Cookware and baking utensils
Amazon Prime Day is a great opportunity to get big discounts on pricey investment cookware like the All-Clad set or the Le Creuset Dutch oven, but when it comes to pots and pans, more expensive doesn’t always mean better. Get the adorable GreenPan Mini Egg Pans or our favorite Dutch oven maker’s tiny skillets (these are perfect for baked eggs and mini casseroles). You can even get a high-quality cast iron skillet that will last you for years for nearly half the price—hardly a bargain.
kitchen gadgets
Even with their lowest prices all year thanks to Prime Day deals, most major kitchen appliances still cost over $25, but there are some small but mighty gadgets you can pick up for less. A meat thermometer is a must-have if you live in an omnivorous household (or even if you’re not! Use it to bake bread and cakes with precision!), and one of our favorites is currently on sale for just $15 . We recommend that you keep a spare in your luggage in case of emergencies. No matter what you like to cook, you absolutely need a kitchen scale, so grab this one from KitchenAid for under $30.
Plates and glassware
Summer may be over, but outdoor dining season is still going strong. We’re firm believers in grilling and dining outdoors in the fall – we recommend a shatterproof plastic set and some melamine plates for stress-free eating.
Cleaning and storage
Cleaning up is one of the most boring parts of cooking, but the cleaning and storage tools below make it even better. Prime Day is the perfect time to rearrange everything you need to keep your kitchen looking clean and tidy. get One of our favorite powder cleansers Bundle a discounted set, or our editors’ favorite (as seen on Shark Tank) sponges and dishwashers. Silicone Stasher bags and beeswax wraps are perfect for kicking any plastic bag habits you may have picked up during the back-to-school season. Any apartment dweller or anyone without a water fountain will appreciate a water filter, and Brita is offering one at 26% off right now. Having a storage set for your pots and pans means you can avoid the clinking and rearranging of your nonstick pans every morning.
Electrical accessories worth the splurge
Prime Day small purchases can help you upgrade your existing equipment. Use a milk frother to enhance the quality of the coffee you make in your drip coffee maker. Or opt for the crisper box, which turns your convection oven into an air fryer.
Sales of snacks, beverages and ingredients
Don’t waste time checking out the little deals on Prime Day ingredients (especially considering today’s grocery prices). No need to go to Costco to pick up a few packs of the popular probiotic soda Poppi and some of the most popular protein bars. You can also pick up some salty, crunchy edamame snacks on sale, and we love them purely for their flavor, but the fact that they’re packed with protein doesn’t hurt either. And get 10% off one of our all-time favorite Chili Chips – a sauce that stands out for its powerful umami flavor, which comes from fermented black beans, mushroom powder and seaweed. It also has a smoky spiciness from a blend of chili peppers and Sichuan peppers.
Many of the tech products taking place during this Prime Big Deal Days sale (such as Samsung TVs, iPhones, Kindles, or Apple laptops) can cost much more than $25. But there are some smaller, less expensive items that are on sale and can work in your kitchen. Wi-Fi-enabled, Bluetooth-enabled smart speakers like the Echo Dot or Echo Pop (both on sale at over 50% off) can come in handy when you want to play music while cooking or entertaining. If you want a little mobility, go wireless. Or, a pair of Bluetooth-enabled headphones can be useful when you want to make a hands-free phone call while preparing dinner.
