What We Actually Want to Buy on Amazon Prime Day 2

It’s Amazon Prime Day(s) on Tuesday and Wednesday: the company’s 48-hour mega-sale where you can purchase anything and everything from Bluetooth speakers to kitchen sponges to shiny trash cans for a pretty significant discount. The sale is only available to Amazon prime members, but it’s a perfect time to get any high-priced items you’ve been eyeing for a while or to stock up on the lower-ticked things you use all the time. If we can’t change the system, we can at least purchase things within the system at 30-70% off.

All the Amazon Prime deals are living monsters—meaning they’ll be constantly changing and updating until Wednesday evening. And with the sheer number of items on sale, it’s dizzying to know where to even begin, so we thought we’d lend you a hand and share what we’ll be buying.

There is nothing worse in the kitchen than trying to chop vegetables with a shitty, $20 knife, and today you can make sure that never happens to you again. I am the proud owner of two Wüsthof knives and am here to promise you that they kick ass. Yes, they’re on the expensive side, but three knives, a knife sharpener, kitchen sheers, and a chic-yet-space-saving kitchen-top woodblock is an incredible deal for $115 (41% off its list price). And if you cook a lot (or have a bit more cash to part with), the 16-piece set is going for $295 (and is also 40% off).

The 6-quart kitchen staple is on sale for $41.34 (29% off.)

I got a sample of Benefit’s best-selling mascara years ago, fell in love, and have never looked back. This goes for $28 at Sephora and is usually $27 on Amazon; right now it’s $23.77.

There’s always a chic option for any object out there, and when it comes to reusable and transportable food storage, that’s Stasher bags. They are great quality silicone and microwave and dishwasher safe—but because of their great quality, they tend to be a bit expensive. Not today, my friends. This 4-pack is $38.49 (30% off) and comes in aqua and white. There are also plenty of other listings, including some pastel options for $32.17 (30% off); a single smaller size (in many colors) for $6.99 (30% off); and a carabiner-equipped one for $13.99 for easy access to treats when you’re walking your dog (or yourself).

This is one of those things you don’t think you need...until you realize you need one. And for $8.99 (down from $29.99) you might as well get one today.

Your kitchen trash has never been sexier: This sleek baby is a steal for $42.73 (down from $44.96).

It can’t hurt to have a couple of these morning-after pills on hand, and both these brands are currently under $8: The Ohm My Choice Emergency Contraceptive tablet is $6.99 and the My Way Emergency Contraceptive tablet is $7.24.

This overnight sleeping mask has a cult following and promises softer, glow-ier skin: The mini travel size is currently on sale for $30 (down from $42).

If you’ve ever been even mildly curious about tarot cards, consider this your sign. (Get it?) The Dionysus Classic Design Tarot Cards Deck is on sale for $15.99 (down from $22.99).

This might be the deal of the century: You can get a 12-pack of Pilot’s G2 Ultra Fine Point 0.38mm pens for $18.85 (down from $24.99). If the Ultra Fine Point is too fine (no such thing) for you, a 12-pack of Pilot’s G2 0.7mm are also on sale for even less: $16.83.

If you didn’t get the LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask for $16.80 (down from $24) on Prime Day, did you even get anything on Prime Day?

The deal prices on Steve Madden’s loafers and shoes are constantly changing and usually vary by color and size, so keep an eye on them, but these perfect fall loafers are currently $94.95 (down from $99.95).

These are still the best whitening strips money can buy, and you can buy them today for $29.99 (down 35%).

Here’s your hand soap for the next six months. Mrs. Meyer’s best scent is available for $6.97 (down from $8.39).

For just $11.99 (down from $15.99) you can save your planet from plastic pollution (and help offset all that Amazon packaging, I guess).

A heavenly, cloud-like sleep is yours with Casper’s highly rated foam pillow for $62.30 (down from $89).

Easy, essential, etc., etc., and a three-pack of neutral tones is currently $24.50 (down from $35).

This Bluetooth speaker has an average of 4.5 stars with over 7,000 reviews and is currently over 70% off at $59.99 (down from $125.99.)

Stock up! You never know when you’re gonna need one of these when you’re dying of heatstroke (or a hangover) this summer. A pack of 16 is $17.49 (down from $23.45).

No one likes a store-bought herb! Grown your own herb garden with this kitchen-top herb garden—currently $49.99 (down from $164.95)—and you’ll never have to deal with grocery-store herbs ever again.

Every beauty blog review I’ve read about this product has called it a “cult favorite,” and I’m not sure which specific cult they’re talking about, but I’m definitely in it. This is the only fancy skincare product I’ve consistently used for three years. It’s evened out my skin tone, and made me less prone to redness and breakouts. And now it’s $30 for the full-size version, 12% off its usual price.

Unfortunately, I’m a Kindle convert. I got one for Christmas last year, after using my boyfriend’s on a couple vacations, and the number of (e)books I can carry on a plane or on a 10-day trip is really a game-changer. This version is $64.99, 35% off its usual price. (You can choose between denim, pictured above, and regular old black.) For that price, you could also buy two hardback new releases—or you can do what I do and load up your Kindle with free ebooks from your local library.
