This year’s Prime Day sales event officially kicked off officially yesterday morning, Tuesday, July 16th at 3a ET. In the few hours since, shoppers have begun stocking up on everything from portable chargers to eye cream. Outside of the endless, yet extremely compelling discounts on everything from electronics to premium beauty essentials, there are a number of worthwhile deals that are often overlooked as less novelty. Should you really be buying toilet paper or body wash along with a new TV before the sales end today? The answer is — probably.
How to Maximize Annual Savings During Prime Day
