Wallets at the ready — Amazon’s second Prime Day of 2023, otherwise known as Prime Big Deal Days is happening right now. And to get you up to speed, Amazon kicked things off yesterday with some amazing deals — but today is your final day to save and score last-minute discounts. It’s easy to get carried away on these occasions, but we’re here to help you sift through the sea of deals and find the practical products that you actually need — and will use on a daily basis — all for a more attractive price.

Note: If you’re not already a Prime member, you still have time to sign up for a membership to get exclusive access to all the best second Prime Day deals. Subscribe to Amazon Prime for $14.99 a month — and hey! You’ll even get your first 30 days free.

We’ve been keeping tabs on the thousands of second Prime Day deals, but we want to make sure you don’t sleep on the best practical stuff you can snag on Amazon, too. Think: TikTok-famous pet essentials, popular bathroom necessities, ways to get your caffeine fix, and personal care goods best bought in bulk — all of which are discounted right now. 

What to Buy in the Final Hours of Prime Big Deal Days (And What to Skip)

We think you can leave the large household appliances, like fridges and washing machines, for the bigger discounts over Black Friday. Popular gaming consoles and toys will also see steeper price cuts closer to the holiday season. So to help you narrow down your shopping list, without further ado, here are the best budget-friendly and worth-the-splurge Prime Day items we recommend you add to cart now.

Sure, we all know that Kindles and AirPods are going to be on sale — but beyond big-ticket tech, Prime Big Deal Days are a great time to pick up smaller life-savers, like this deal for 43 percent off the Foldable Magnetic Wireless Portable Charger from Anker. This perfect travel companion has super-strong magnets that snap firmly in place while it charges your phone, and bonus: It doubles as a mini kickstand, so you can stream videos comfortably during your next layover.

Comfortable, cool, and perfect whichever way you wriggle around in bed — the Nectar King Mattress is a must-snag this second edition of Prime Days. For 25 percent off (at $899 down from $1199), there’s never been a better time to upgrade your sleep environment. Reviewers who identify as both back and side snoozers can’t say enough good things about this memory foam gem that’s both cushion-y and supportive — and features cooling comfort technology.

Most Worthwhile Prime Day Pet Deals

We love our four-legged friends, but we don’t love the hair and mess they leave in their wake. Take this fall Prime Day to stock up on all the essentials that can help you de-fuzz and deep clean your home (more on that below). The internet-famous reusable Chom Chom Pet Hair Roller is a must-have; it’s loved by over 110,000 Amazon reviewers who swear by it as an alternative to wasteful sticky lint rollers. Now you’ll be able to sit on your couch in your all-black outfit without looking like you just got into a wrestling match with your dog’s fur. Oh, and while you’re at it — you might as well also stock up on some treats for your perfect (albeit messy) good boys and girls. You know they deserve it.

Most Worthwhile Prime Day Kitchen Deals

Sure, you’re going to see plenty of deals over the next two days on coffee makers from Keurig, Nespresso, and even Breville (their Express Espresso Machine is currently $190 off) but those get marked down frequently, and besides — what if you’re an iced coffee drinker? Ninja’s all-in-one Hot and Cold Brewed System delivers barista-quality cold brew and hot lattes (hello, milk frother) for $52.99 off this second Prime Day — it can be yours for under $150. We like that there’s no need to buy paper filters with the included reusable filter baskets — a bonus? You’ll get two: One for coffee grounds and one for loose leaf tea, so you’ll never have to shoot off a Monday morning email again without being appropriately caffeinated.

Most Worthwhile Prime Day Vacuum and Cleaning Deals

One of the best things about Prime Big Deals Day is getting to experience deep discounts from brands that rarely offer deals, and that’s why we think you should take advantage of this $135.99 price cut for Dyson’s V10 Cordless Stick Vacuum cleaner. Reviewers note that this is worth the investment for its lightweight feel and effective suction abilities. It also features three cleaning modes and a mini motorized tool that makes it powerful at removing pet hair and dirt from carpet and upholstery.

Most Worthwhile Prime Day Beauty and Grooming Deals

Speaking of Dyson (we just can’t get enough of their amazing Prime Big Deal Days savings), since they’re known for masterfully producing elegant and high-powered gadgets in home and grooming, we’d be remiss if we didn’t feature them in our best worthwhile beauty deals. A fan-favorite, the Supersonic™ Hair Dryer is currently experiencing its lowest price in 30 days — at a whopping $100 discount. Take this as your sign to upgrade your unreliable, drugstore-bought hair dryer with something that can prevent heat damage, while still drying your hair quickly and effectively, and features a gentle air attachment to protect your scalp. The definition of splurge-worthy? This.

An Amazon Prime Day favorite — fashionistas and deal fiends alike will know that there’s no better time to replace worn-in denim (or just supplement your existing jean collection) than on this special, two-day sale extravaganza. Levi’s Ribcage jeans — if they don’t already — should absolutely belong in your weekly wardrobe rotation, thanks to their timelessness and versatility. Reviewers love the waistline on these, which hits right at that sweet spot to make cropped sweater-wearers swoon.
