After covering
Amazon Prime Day
for over five years, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to shop it smartly.
I’ve also learned that
Amazon
sells way more than you might expect – from your favourite Redken shampoo to dishwasher tablets, method cleaning sprays to everyone’s favourite
Italian
spritz, and of course,
the humble toilet roll.
Now that I’ve bought my first flat, I’m more conscious of what I’m spending. But with over a decade of shopping and writing under my belt, I’ve got a pretty good sense of what’s
actually
worth adding to your basket – and what’s just going to gather dust.

This list isn’t full of flashy gadgets or impulse buys. It’s the practical stuff: micellar water, snacks, cleaning products, essentials you’ll use every day. Not the most glamorous, sure, but stocking up during Prime Day can save you a surprising amount – and cut down those last-minute
supermarket
dashes.
So, if you’re looking to make the most of the sales without wasting money, here are the things I genuinely think are worth buying.
My top Amazon Prime Day picks:
