If you hadn't noticed Amazon's Prime Day sale is well underway, and, if you head over to our best Prime Day deals page, you'll find deals saving you hundreds on televisions, smartphones, fitness watches and more, but, Prime Day isn't just about those big-ticket items…
You can also pick up little, everyday items, that aren't quite as sexy as a new curved gaming monitor but will still save you money in the long run.
We're talking about batteries, dishwasher tablets, condoms and nappies, all things that you can buy in bulk to save money, but wouldn't necessarily think about buying on Amazon Prime Day.
So, whether you're doing a bulk order to fill your pantry, or looking to add a few extra deals on top of your existing savings on a large piece of tech, these are the things you should be adding to your Prime Day basket.
Dishwasher tablets
Okay, this is an obvious one. Dishwasher tablets are frequently some of the most bought items on Prime Day and Black Friday. It makes sense to bulk buy these everyday items while they're on offer, rather than wait until you've run out and buy them at a marked-up price in a supermarket. Get sparkling clean dishes at a fraction of the cost.
Batteries
There's nothing worse than needing batteries, whether you've just bought something new that needs them, or they've run out in an existing appliance. Make sure you've got a fully-charged up stock and save money while doing so.
Electric toothbrush heads
Electric toothbrush heads a small and expensive, so it's best to buy them in bulk and when on sale.
Condoms
Earlier we said 'there's nothing worse than needing batteries', but that was a lie, there's actually nothing worse than realising you've run out of condoms… we don't need to explain why. Stock up, now, while they're on sale.
Razor heads
It really sucks shaving with a blunt razor, so why not treat yourself to a new, sharp razor for Amazon Prime Day. Just like electric toothbrush heads, it's no fun buying new razors, but they are a necessity, so it's best to buy in bulk, when they're cheap.
Nappies
I don't have a baby yet, but I have it on good authority that they go through nappies like nobody's business. They're on sale for Amazon Prime Day, so if you've just had a baby or are about to have one, stock up, now!
SD cards
If you like to take pictures with a conventional camera, then you'll know you can never get too many SD cards. Luckily, there are several big brands discounted today, so whether you're looking for an SD card or Micro SD card, Prime Day will have a deal for you.
Amazon Kindle Books
I always use Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday as a chance to stock up my Kindle. You can get really popular ebooks for as little as 99p. If you're looking for a Kindle to read them on, you can check out our best Kindle deals page.
Toilet Paper
Does anyone like buying toilet paper at the supermaket? No. All of those strangers judging you… they know what you're going to do with it. Also, it never fits in the bag nicely, am I right? You've got to carry it around like a child. Just bulk buy it online and feel smug if there's another pandemic-fuelled toilet roll shortage
Echo Dot
Okay, this is a little different to the other entries on this list, but the price is so good it seems crazy to literally not just throw one in your basket, especially if you don't have one in every room. Is your downstairs toilet still Echo Dot-free? Not for much longer!
