Prime Big Deal Days: 6 Things Every Woman Should Have In Her Cart Today

This means that everything from your household staples to your “I’ve been eyeing this for months” wishlist items are probably marked down. Whether you’re stocking up on paper towels and pantry snacks, restocking your beauty cabinet, or finally pulling the trigger on that home upgrade you’ve been dreaming about, now’s the time to shop smart.

Think of this as your semi-annual excuse to be both practical and a little indulgent, because let’s be honest, you’ll never regret having extra toilet paper or a prettier light fixture.

Here are six categories every woman should be shopping today:

Home Essentials

Think: diapers, wipes, paper towels, toilet paper, pantry snacks, K cups, etc. Look at what you usually buy for the household each week (including grocery store runs) and see if you can find your essentials cheaper on Amazon. Buy in bulk if you can! You'll never not need toilet paper.

Health and Beauty Staples

Check your medicine cabinet and your makeup bag for empties! This is your time to restock on vitamins, shampoo, skincare, self-tanner, nail polish, etc. at a cheaper price.

Wardrobe Staples

Can't remember the last time you cleaned out your underwear drawer or replaced your go-to bra? Think about the items you wear day after day: t-shirts, leggings, socks. Once you've made that list, move onto the items you've been wishing you had when getting dressed. Maybe you just need a basic neutral cardigan, or a classic pair of jeans that fit just right. Skip the trendy blouse you'll never wear and spend your money on the essentials. You won't regret grabbing these items when they're on sale today.

Home Projects

Eyeing that new mattress, the fancy chandelier to make your entryway pop, or the DIY laundry counter to make folding easier (and more aesthetic)? Check if it's on sale. If so, now's the time to hit buy.

Early Christmas Presents

If you're an early shopper and can't wait for the Black Friday sales to hit stores, this is your last chance for big deals before the holidays begin. If there are big-ticket items on your shopping list (like a remote control ride-on truck for your kids or an upgraded play set), buying now and storing away might be your best bet to get ahead.

Birthday Presents

Got any celebrations coming up? Check your calendar for birthdays, anniversaries, baby/bridal showers, etc. Anything you'll need a gift for, you can shop ahead and feel both prepared and financially savvy!

Bonus tip: With Halloween coming up, if you're buying costumes from Amazon, now might be the time to snag those as well so you get the best deal and they arrive in time for the holiday later this month!
