Use the Dedicated Coupon Page

Stop wasting your time in the search bar or scrolling through pages and pages of items you don’t want. “Amazon’s Today’s Deals section includes dedicated coupons that are automatically applied at checkout,” Hise explains. “Most shoppers overlook these easy discounts and don’t apply them.”

It’s true—applying these discounts is so easy, it’d be a shame to miss out. “Make sure to check this page before any purchase because you might find additional discounts for more than one item you were planning to buy or like products that are a better value,” Hise adds.

Win Big in the Amazon Outlet

Like me, Hise is a huge proponent of shopping the Amazon Outlet, too. “Steep discounts are available—up to 50%—on overstock, returned items, or seasonal products.” Hise adds,” Make sure to check and see if the items you are looking for are available. You’ll want to look at condition ratings and reviews, but you can find brand names at amazing prices.”

Don’t Sleep on Random Rewards

Hise has another best-kept secret to scoring Amazon deals—and if you’re a Prime member, that secret is hidden in your shipping options. 

“If you’re not in a hurry, you can ‘no-rush’ your shipping on select items and earn credits you can apply to future purchases,” Hise explains. “It’s free to activate, and you can even use them for video rentals, Kindle books, or groceries. Not all items are available for this, but it’s worth looking at and adds up over time.” Hear, hear!

The 5 Best Stand Mixers, Tested by BHG

KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

Better Homes & Gardens / Russell Kilgore

Our pick for “Best Mini Standing Mixer” pick is now finally on sale for Prime Big Deal Days. The 3.5-quart stand mixer is marked down in white and comes with a removable stainless steel bowl, one coated flat beater, one coated dough hook, one wire whip, and a pouring shield. It makes up to five dozen cookies in a single batch and also features 10 whipping and mixing speeds for a variety of cooking and baking tasks.

Bampure Organic Bamboo Sheets

Amazon

We named these organic sheets “Best Bamboo” after testing more than 200 Amazon sheet sets over a six-month period. These eco-friendly sheets stood out for several reasons, including the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification, the extra elastic on each corner that conveniently holds the fitted sheet in place, and the silky texture. Of course, now that the sheets have dropped to less than $80, this purchase is even more alluring. We found them to be super silky and lightweight even after several washes, and they weren’t as wrinkly as many of the other sheets from our tests.

Dyson Car+Boat Handheld Vacuum Cleaner

Amazon

Dyson’s compact car vacuum is the cleaning brand’s recent launch, which debuted in February. Right now, it’s marked down to $280, which is a big deal considering it has very rarely gone on sale since it came on the market. The Car+Boat handheld is designed to conveniently clean cars, trucks, SUVs, RVs, and, of course, boats, and as such, is completely cordless and doesn’t require an outlet. At roughly 4 pounds, this Dyson is lightweight and portable with a runtime of up to 50 minutes on a full charge.

Kate Spade Serena Saffiano Leather Flap Chain Wallet

Amazon

Usually, the best place to find amazing deals on Kate Spade bags is the brand’s very own Outlet. But right now, this 40%-off Amazon deal on the Serena Saffiano Leather Flap Chain Wallet is not worth skipping over. The compact purse is nearly $100 off in the Lavender Cream color, and you’re sure to love all the interior pockets for holding onto your essentials.

Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler

Amazon

It’s always a good idea to take advantage of a Stanley sale whenever possible. Right now, the blue azure color that has sold more than 2,000 times in the past month. So, if you want it, get it now—because it’s sure to return to its full price soon.

Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean Upright Vacuum

Amazon

If you’ve been dying to get your hands on a full-sized Dyson, the marked-down price tag on this vacuum cleaner is one of the brand’s most affordable (besides the aforementioned Car+Boat Vac). This upright vacuum comes with eight accessories to help you better navigate messes: a tangle-free turbine tool, a combination tool, a multi-angle brush, a stair tool, a reach-under tool, a carbon fiber soft dusting brush, a mattress tool, and a tool bag to store them all. The cleaner’s Ball technology is what makes it easier to maneuver than most other upright vacs, and its self-adjusting cleaner head actually raises and lowers to seal in suction to the floor.

CGK Unlimited 6-Piece Queen Sheet Set

Amazon

The bed linens that have more than 20,600 five-star reviews are now at a great, low price. They’re available in just about every color you can think of (including classic striped options as well), but the crisp white color has been purchased more than 2,000 times in the past month, and it probably has something to do with how much they resemble (and feel like) bedding you’d find at a luxury hotel. The queen-sized set comes with four pillow cases, one fitted sheet, and a flat sheet.

Yankee Candle 22-Ounce Macintosh Candle

Amazon

Yankee Candle has a wide variety of some of the most timeless scents, and this Macintosh scent smells just like the Vermont apple festival I went to every year as a kid. It’s a limited-time deal that won’t last long, and while it’s the perfect scent for fall, the 22-ounce Cranberry Chutney candle is also marked down to $15. (Good luck choosing between the two!)

Dr. Scholl’s Time Off Sneaker

Amazon

These Dr. Scholl’s sneakers are an Amazon best-seller, and more than 1,000 of them have been sold in the past month. White Smooth colorway is the sneaker’s most versatile option, as it can be paired with any outfit you can think of. Yes, wear it with denim jeans and a casual tee, but also try pairing it with a fall-friendly dress—it’ll even look good with maxi dresses. This slip-on shoe is sustainably crafted with an eco-conscious fabric toe box and linings, topcloth, and heel counter made from recycled materials. The stretch laces provide the most secure fit, and inside, the sneaker has an insole with anatomical cushioning for the most comfort and support possible.

Apple AirPods Pro 2

Amazon

Savvy shoppers know to never pay full price for Apple products. The AirPods Pro 2 usually go on sale for Prime Day, and right now, you can get them for $80 off (without AppleCare). This AirPods model features Transparency mode and Adaptive Audio, which is a seamless blend of noise cancellation and Transparency mode for the best listening experience. These Pods are so smart, they lower the volume in your ears if they detect you speaking to someone nearby.

Bissell Little Green Mini Machine Upholstery Cleaner

Better Homes & Gardens

Everyone’s favorite steam cleaner, Bissell’s Little Green Machine, now has a smaller sister model that debuted earlier this year. Currently $10 off for Prime Day, the No. 1 best-selling Mini is exceptional at cleaning up messes and removing stains of all kinds (I once used it to clean green matcha tea off of my chair upholstery and Uggs). Especially when you consider that it’s only 7 pounds. The Tea green color is the only style on sale, and it comes with a 4-inch Tough Stain Tool, a self-cleaning hose tool, and an 8-ounce bottle of cleaning solution.

Ultsofe 8x10-Foot Area Rug

Amazon

This 8x10-foot vintage-inspired rug—available in pink for this great sale price—is made from machine-made, low-pile microfiber that’s durable enough to maintain its shape even after being in the washing machine and dryer. It has a nonslip rubber backing that prevents it from sliding across hardwood floors, making it perfect for high-traffic areas of the house like the living room.

Levoit Air Purifier

Amazon

This Levoit is the sister model to the air purifier we named “Best Overall.” Its HEPA filter is designed to improve the air quality of rooms up to 2,933 square feet, and it even has a three-in-one filter to sift through smoke, dust, and allergen particles. It can be connected to WiFi and controlled with Amazon Alexa, making it one of the most important pieces of technology in your home.

ZonLi Bamboo Cooling Weighted Blanket

Amazon

We named this throw as “Best Budget”after testing more than 35 cooling blankets. It’s made from bamboo-derived rayon that’s soft to the touch and extremely breathable. Premium glass beads are stitched into the lining to provide 15 pounds of deep-touch pressure to improve your sleep, helping you snooze faster and stay asleep longer.

Oulonger 12-Pack Solar Landscape Lights

Outdoor lighting that requires digging and underground wiring is so not worth the time and effort. Solar lights that do all the work for you—they’re in. This 12-pack of solar landscape lights couldn’t be easier to install and upkeep, too. Simply turn on the switch under the cap, then

stick the spikes into the ground. (If you prefer to use these lights on decks, porches, or outdoor stairs, you can do so without the spikes.) Done! The lights are IP65 waterproof grade, and contain a 5.4-square-inch solar panel that charges fast in normal sunlight. They illuminate for up to 10 hours with eight hours of charging, and automatically turn on at night and off at dawn.

Worx Electric Lawn Edger & Trencher

We were able to navigate the lawn edger through dirt with ease.

Better Homes & Gardens

We ranked this beginner-friendly lawn-edging and trenching tool as “Best Overall” and love that it’s two-in-one. It has one speed, but three height choices that allow you to seamlessly go back and forth between edging and trenching. The trigger was relatively comfortable—even after 20 minutes of continuously pressing it down—and the tool cut through grass very easily. It didn’t get caught in any overgrowth, either. It has a 12-amp, high-torque motor, weighs 13 pounds, is corded, and can cut at various depths of 1, 1.25 and 1.5 inches.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K

Amazon

Right now is also prime time to upgrade your TV with the newest model of the Amazon Firestick. Not only does it show more than 1.8 million movies, TV shows, and live TV in 5K, but it also features AI-powered Fire TV search that allows you to search for your favorites—smarter than ever before. It has voice control enabled, too, so you can even ask the remote to search for something specific, like thriller movies or action films with car chases. It’s also compatible with other ad-supported streaming apps like Prime Video, Tubi, and Pluto TV.
