I'm a Shopping Editor — These Are the Everyday Items I'm Buying Before Prime Day Ends

Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray ($12, originally $18)

Packs of dish soap don't come cheap — especially when it's Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray, which has incredible reviews. It fights 99 percent of grease and grime, and people use it for way more than just dishes: think spills on clothes, furniture, blinds, and more. The options are endless. And at 30 percent off for a spray bottle plus three refills? It's well worth it.

Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool ($7, originally $10)

We know what you're thinking: what a name. But this bug bite relief tool doesn't just win points for catchiness; it actually works, according to thousands of reviewers. It suctions out the insect saliva or venom left under your skin, helping to minimize the itch if you act fast. One five-star reviewer put it best: "In the past, I've damaged my skin from scratching bug bites, but not anymore. If your bug bite is super fresh, as in, you catch it within a few minutes, you can use the tool to suction the saliva out."

Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-Home Teeth Whitening Kit ($30, originally $50)

Available in a pack of 18 treatments, these strips will gently, safely, and effectively remove stains. Not to mention, they're formulated to handle sensitive teeth and are enamel-safe, so you don't have to worry about them hurting. And at 40 percent off? You really can't go wrong. Read our Crest Whitestrips review for more.

Editor Quote: "After just four treatments, the difference is already remarkable. The 'before' image on the left and the 'after' image on the right clearly show the noticeable change. And I've barely made a dent in the box, with plenty of treatments left." — Marisa Petrarca, contributing shpping editor

Reach Waxed Dental Floss ($7, originally $12)

Ah, floss — the one item I always seem to run out of, since I only ever buy one at a time at the grocery store. Instead of having just one measly pack lying around, stock up with this set of six. It's waxed, so it does a great job of getting gunk out from between your teeth.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen Lotion ($7, originally $13)

This sunscreen ranks number one on all of Amazon, which isn't really a surprise. It boasts a high SPF, antioxidant protection to help fend off sun-induced free radicals, and a lightweight, non-greasy texture that feels more like skin care than sunscreen. Run, don't walk (especially while it's under $10).

Swiffer Sweeper Wet Mopping Cloths ($10, originally $21)

Run, don't walk. A whopping 53 percent off a 24-count of Swiffer Wet Cloths? Say less. These refills for your Swiffer rarely come cheap, so if you need more, let this be your friendly reminder: Prime Day is the time.

Vailnd Air Fryer Paper Liners ($11, originally $20)

If you own an air fryer, you probably know the struggle of washing the basket — it's the worst. And while some are technically dishwasher-friendly, they're still annoying to deal with. Enter: air fryer paper liners — a simple yet genius invention I wish I'd thought of. These little liners make air frying easy, and cleanup even easier. Just toss in a new liner and you're good to go.

Juno & Co. Clean 10 Cleansing Balm ($12, originally $20)

With only 10 ingredients, the Juno & Co. Cleansing Balm effectively breaks down makeup, sunscreen, and all the day's dirt and grime. It's a great first cleanse, as it's gentle and far less abrasive than makeup-removing wipes.

Energizer AA Batteries ($13, originally $20)

While plenty of things are rechargeable these days, there's nothing worse than trying to turn on the TV . . . only to realize the remote's dead. Or grabbing your face fan and finding out the batteries are toast. Keep a 32-pack of these in your kitchen drawer, and you'll never be caught without power when you need it.

Seventh Generation Dish Liquid ($15, originally $21)

If you're in the market for a healthier alternative to regular dish soap — one that's plant-based and gentler on your skin — try this less harsh version. It's fragrance-free and EPA-certified, so you don't have to worry about dried-out hands or harsh chemicals. And during Prime Day, you can grab it for 30 percent off.

Glade PlugIns Refills Air Freshener ($17, originally $25)

At the end of the day, no one wants their home to smell bad. If you're a regular air freshener user, this 30 percent off deal on a 10-pack of Glade refills is totally worth it. Available in multiple scents, like Clean Linen, they'll make every room smell fresh and inviting.

Crest 3D White Mint Teeth Whitening Toothpaste ($16, originally $20)

If you're anything like me, you probably want your mouth to smell like an air freshener at all times. Crest 3D White not only delivers on that, but it also removes surface stains. Basically, you get a super-refreshed, minty mouth with whiter teeth to match. That's why this toothpaste usually costs $$ — but don't fret, it's discounted for Prime Day.

Celsius Assorted Flavors Official Variety Pack ($17, originally $22)

Few energy drinks are as well known and loved as Celsius, but it's not exactly cheap to sip. That's why Prime Day is the perfect time to stock up on your favorite flavors, like our go-to: Peach Mango Green Tea. It's the perfect tropical twist for summer.

Nippies Nipple Covers ($20, originally $27)

I don't know about you, but nipple covers are one of those things I always think about buying, then never actually do. But with Prime Day here, I think it's finally time. These ones in particular claim to withstand summer heat and stay on all day.

Gillette Venus Extra Smooth Razor and Blade Refills ($20, originally $25)

Speaking of restocking . . . it's probably time to re-up your razors, huh? I know it is for me. Venus makes a solid reusable razor that comes with four refills, and I love the lubricated razor head for a nice, smooth shave.

Amazon Basics 2-Ply Soft Toilet Paper ($21, originally $25)

Listen, you're going to need toilet paper at some point, so you might as well stock up while it's on sale. The Amazon Basics line actually offers really great quality TP. It's comparable to Angel Soft, just usually cheaper.

Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray ($23, originally $27)

When it comes to treating stains, look no further than this powerful, fast-working stain remover. It's EPA-certified, so you can feel better about spraying it on your kids' clothes and your own. It works on both fresh and set-in stains, and can be used repeatedly on tougher ones.

Nespresso Capsules Original Line ($34, originally $43)

As much as we love our Nespresso machines, the capsules don't come cheap, and they rarely go on sale. That's why this 50-count pack is such a great deal. You're getting five flavors with a mix of dark, medium, and light roasts — all at a solid discount.

Ritual Synbiotic and Probiotic Supplement ($32, originally $60)

When it comes to gut health, it's worth investing in quality and not just going for the cheapest option. Ritual's Synbiotic+ vitamins have rave reviews and are even used by a few of our own editors. If you're looking to restock or try them for the first time, now's the perfect time — they rarely go on sale.

Hulken Reusable Grocery Bag On Wheels ($92, originally $124)

Once you try this bag, you'll get why it has such a cult following. It's a haul-it-all essential, whether you're lugging supplies to a campsite, unloading a week's worth of groceries, or wheeling into your hospital room to have a baby, packed with clothes and postpartum essentials (true story from yours truly).
