Save big on all that stuff you plan on buying anyway with these Prime Day deals

First up: Magic Erasers. It took me forever to buy some, but now that I’ve been using them for a few years, I can’t imagine not having them in my home. 

The foam sponges are soft enough for more delicate surfaces, such as walls and wood furnishings, yet strong enough to get the job (ahem, sauce or crayon removal) done. 

I recently had a mini panic attack when I thought fallen pollen from a bunch of lilies had stained my light oak dining table forever and, to my amazement, my Magic Erasers removed each yellow stain.

Mr. Siga’s highly rated, often (ineffectively) duplicated cleaning cloths have garnered a reputation — and a following of at least 65,000 Amazon customers — for their soft, durable, absorbent fabric and vibrant color range. 

You can currently nab a 12-pack for almost half off, its lowest price to date. 

If your ratty old dish towels have seen better days, this 100% cotton set is an excellent swap. The waffle weave pattern not only looks nice, but it also offers a bit of texture for more effective scrubbing. 

This is close to as low as these kitchen staples have ever been on sale for. 

These No. 1 bestselling fabric-softening balls can be reused for over a thousand — yes, a thousand — laundry loads. 

They’re made entirely of wool, and are beloved by more than 61,000 Amazon customers for reducing status cling, speeding up drying times and reducing energy costs.

Bonus: With the initial (now much lower) investment out of the way, they’ll save you tons of money on not-so-eco-friendly dryer sheets. They’re one of Yahoo editors’ favorite laundry hacks, and close to as low as we’ve seen them on sale for all year. 

Consider these discounted Swedish dish towels from Eulnars as another, more artful expression of your love for the environment.

Each set come with eight biodegradable towels that are, according to the brand, durable for up to 200 uses and capable of holding up to 20 times their weight in water.

You’ll get a magnetic hook for hanging up your favorite cloth. You’ll reduce the amount of paper towels — and a lot of wasted money — piling up in the environment. 

The striking patterns also make these dish towels great for gifting.

Make sure you don’t run out of trashbags — at least for a long while — with this handy box from Amazon Basics, including 120 13-gallon bags for lining your kitchen bin and beyond.

We’ve yet to see this pack priced lower all year, so why not grab a few boxes? 

Reviewers love these trash bags for heavier-duty cleanups, designed with dual-layer rip and leak protection, flexible, expansive design and odor control. 

We haven’t seen them priced lower than this in about two years, so grab a bunch while you can save big. 

With colder weather comes earlier evenings and, at least typically, more time spent inside.

Stock up on lightbulbs now so you — and your family, and your guests! — don’t end up in the dark thanks to this set that has a brightness equivalent of 100 watts.

For those who have the storage space, I also found deals on 16-packs and 24-packs up to 43% off.

Batteries are another one of those things you don’t want to run out of. (After all, that means having to walk over to the TV every time you want to switch between games or holiday movie marathons.)

The solution? Grabbing this 32-pack while it’s within a dollar of its all-time lowest price. Of course, unlike these batteries, this sale won’t keep going and going, so add it to your cart, stat.

As someone who works from home and loves to cook, I go through a lot of dish (washer) soap. 

I like how this one from Seventh Generation, now 25% off a value bundle, is made free and clear — aka without any harsh fragrances or dyes that can otherwise stick to plates and utensils — and doesn’t leave any streaky residue behind.

The brand’s naturally scented Lemon Chamomile Dishwasher Pods are also on sale, for those who prefer a light fragrance.

When washing dishes by hand, it doesn’t hurt to have a few reinforcements, and this “powerwash” from Dawn is a No. 1 bestseller for its de-griming capabilities.

According to the brand, it was developed to be as effective as an overnight soak, but in minutes — and you can use it on everything from sinks to laundry.

Our price trackers tell us this is close to as low as this set has ever been, and with three refills, you’ll have more than enough for all of those holiday dishes.

Hand soap is another product I frequently go through, with Mrs. Meyers’ biodegradable formula among my go-tos. 

Last time I checked, you could scoop up a 33-ounce refill tub — just over $2 a soap when you consider the brand’s usual 12-ounce portions — of the Lemon Verbena scent, an amazing deal and a great idea for anyone who wants to save while cutting back on trips to the store.

The brand is also offering discounts on Fall Leaves (a personal favorite) and Acorn Spice for getting into the fall season and gifting.

Stock up on laundry detergent with up to 40% off select Method 4-packs, including the brand’s signature Ginger Mango and, my personal favorite, Beach Sage.

Each bottle contains enough liquid to cover 66 loads, so there’s enough to cover work attire, uniforms, activewear, loungewear and beyond (and for a long time).

I’ve also had good experiences with Method’s on-sale Pink Grapefruit All-Purpose Cleaner Spray if you’re good on the laundry front.

You may think of your washing machine as being self-cleaning, but experts recommend giving it a deeper clean regularly to help keep mildew under control and, er, off of your clothes.

You can go the DIY route (more on that here), or you can pop in one of these popular deodorizing pods, which have over 90,000 perfect Amazon ratings, in and let it do the dirty work for you.

If it were up to me, every bathroom would come (and remain) equipped with a bottle of Home- or Poo-Pourri. 

I like how the brand’s products actually break up — versus just mask — air molecules and that they don’t leave any funky scents or secrets behind (the Lavender Sage scent, now 20% off, is one of the most soothing I’ve tried).

You can also find limited-edition toilet sprays, along with the brand’s essential travel sizes, among the brand’s Prime Day deals for keeping things classy at home and on the go.

What Pourri is for bathroom and fabric odors, Angry Orange is for pet odors, and now you can safeguard your pet’s — and your home’s — reputation for under $8. 

I suggest grabbing a two-pack at the Prime Day rate ($16) so that you have a safety on hand. (The corresponding floor cleaner and stain remover are also on sale for when you need to bring in the reinforcements.)

More than 11,000 Amazon shoppers love these sturdy food containers from JoyJolt, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh and come in varying shapes and sizes for different appetites and needs. 

They’re made of borosilicate glass (used on thermal tiles in space shuttles) for durability and clarity and are oven-safe up to 1,040°F.

What’s more, they can go in the microwave without a lid for quick warm-ups, plus the freezer for leftovers you won’t get to very quickly. Grab them at 43% off for all of your storing and prepping needs!

You can’t go wrong with some classic Tupperware, and this set is so eye-catching that it’ll make you look forward to eating leftovers.

Included are five bowls in assorted sizes and lids to match. They nest for easy storing and can be used for serving, mixing and other food prep in a pinch.

Our price trackers tell us this collection hasn’t been on sale in months, at least, so snag it for less while you can!

If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 20 shades whiter in just 22 days (that’s almost one shade per day!). 

According to the brand, you’re guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you’ll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. This sale drops the price to as low as we’ve seen it in years, just in time for all of those holiday photos.

I’ve tried to reduce the amount of single-use wipes in my household, but when I do use wipes, I use Goodwipes. 

According to the brand, they’re made of plant-based materials — including aloe for a soothing component — and are hypoallergenic, free of toxins and dyes. 

You can flush them down the toilet (they’re both septic- and sewer- safe) and I like how the scents are clean and subtle versus other products I’ve tried that are overwhelming. 

Scoop up this 4-pack on sale for $18 or a 3-pack, plus travel wipes, on sale for $13 during Prime time.

Refillable razors are great for reducing the amount of waste from plastic handles, not to mention the amount of money you’d otherwise spend purchasing a full razor every time. 

Right now, Gillette Venus is offering a razor handle with six refills for 30% off, so it’s essentially like getting six razors for $14 or a little over $2 a pop.

If you’re going to purchase Advil anyway, you might as well do it as part of a Prime Big Deal for 30% off (or just over $16). 

This set comes with 300 coated tablets, along with an AdvilPM sample for when you could use some relief come nighttime — the perfect addition to a First Aid kit.

It’s also helpful to have around for any guests who may be experiencing a headache after those long holiday flights and drives.

I scooped up a few of these Bali wireless bras a few Prime Days ago and now I don’t know what I’d do without them. 

They’re comfy enough for everyday, yet supportive enough for the gym and even office wear (meaning you don’t have to constantly switch up your style). 

The stretchy back doesn’t cut in and adjusts for a custom fit. And at only $18 — over 60% off — I consider this among the most coveted deals in Amazon’s sale.

There are few things cozier than slipping into a fresh pair of socks, and Adidas is making it easier than ever to refresh by offering one of their signature styles for less than $3 a pop.

The no-show design means you can wear ’em with any sneaker and they’ll be nice and hidden, plus they’re moisture-wicking and have extra cushioning to keep your feet dry and comfy all day. 

They’re currently down to one of their lowest prices of the year.

Made of a breathable, sweat-wicking cotton-spandex blend, these No. 1 bestsellers are stretchy enough that you’ll be able to move around in comfort, while their wide band acts as a supportive panel to help keep everything in place. 

Another plus? They provide moderate tummy control that’s not constricting, fans say, and the extra-thick band doesn’t roll down.

We love these colors, but they also come in a dozen other combos, whether you like brights, pastels, neutrals or a mix. At this price — one of the lowest we’ve seen — you might want to scoop up a few sets (sizes XS-5X).
