The most practical purchases to make during Prime Day 2024

If you haven't noticed, we're in the midst of a bit of a shopping spree. It's been a couple of weeks of steep discounts and all-time low prices at some of the biggest retailers out there. Right now, we're at Day 2 of Amazon Prime Day 2024, and despite Walmart and Target running some rival Prime Day sales last week, they are still rolling back prices today. So now is a really good time for consumers to spend, while the deals are hot. 

And don't get us wrong, we're all for splurging on a new pair of AirPods or some gifts for our grandkids, but do you know what we actually really recommend buying during days like this? Household essentials. Not only is there something so satisfying about restocking your paper towels at a discounted price but it's pretty practical too. Prices are otherwise not getting any cheaper, so why not take advantage while you can?

The shopping editors here at AOL spend hours a day reviewing thousands of deals and often find everyday essentials like toilet paper and dish soap to be some of the best sneaky savings. We've found everything from fancy Charmin Soft Toilet Paper to bulk packs of Dawn dish soap marked down right now. 

Because you're always going to need more toilet paper and laundry soap — why not get it when you can save a few bucks? Below are some of the best deals on everyday essentials we've seen so far.

Today is the last day of Amazon’s Prime Day - so get the deals while you can. They aren’t alone with there being sales like the Walmart Prime Day deals that have dropped trying to rival them. So hurry and shop the Prime Day beauty deals, fashion deals and more. If you aren't sure what you want or need but want to find some deals - shop by price: Prime Day deals under $50 or Prime Day deals under $100.

Don't have Amazon Prime?

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
