Amazon's secret overstock section is packed with savings — our picks start at $5

Busy moms will always welcome a helping hand, especially in the kitchen. This handy gadget will slash her meal-prep time — it allows her to switch among eight interchangeable blades for instant chopping, slicing, grating and shredding. After, just throw 'em in the dishwasher and store in their (included) container.

My workbench is almost always a mess — mostly covered in tools and their chargers. I'm a Ryobi man (I didn't choose it; it chose me, like the sorting hat in Harry Potter), so I've got drills, lawn tools, snow tools, saws and sanders — all of which need charging at a moment's notice. Instead of wasting my already limited counter space, I could just mount this to the wall, charge everything at once and actually stay organized for once. Plus, it's 50% off at the moment. Honestly, I think I just convinced myself to buy it...

Our favorite extender covers the entire outlet, but if you want to keep one plug free, this baby will do the job and it's down to only $7. 

Every few days, I think to myself, "I should start meal prepping." It saves time and would help me stay fit all year long, not to mention less frantic throughout the week. Once I finally get around to it, glass containers like these are a must. For $32, you get 10 that make meal prep feel less like a chore and more like a flex. They're oven-, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, which means less plastic, less cleanup and more leftovers that don't leak or stink. Stack 'em in the fridge and call it organized eating.

Freshly grated cheese is way better than the kind in the bag. It melts more easily, a block is generally cheaper, and, well, it tastes way better. Sure, it takes a bit of elbow grease, but cleaning this grater doesn't: It's dishwasher safe.

For any run or hike longer than a few miles in the heat of summer, I bring a running vest with one of these stashed inside. I usually carry a liter or two of water, but this is a great backup when you need a rapid refill and the stuff coming out of the nearest water fountain looks a little suspect.

If the water source nearby isn't inspiring confidence, this will filter it to 99.999% purity, clearing it of bacteria (like E.coli and salmonella), parasites, microplastics, dirt, sand and sediment. 

If you can't remember the last time you replaced your carbon monoxide detector, it's probably time for a new one. At under half a pound and 5 inches wide, the Kidde makes a smart travel mate, but it's ideal for at-home use as well. It calls for two AA batteries (included) and can be mounted to a wall or placed on a table or other flat surface.

Quality earbuds shouldn't always cost hundreds of dollars, and these winners from trusted tech brand Anker are proof. Currently half off, they produce crystal-clear sound and have a comfortable fit that keeps them from budging while you're in motion, fans say.

"No more AirPods ever again!" one convert wrote. "I'm blown away. ... They've completely replaced my Apple AirPods. Not only are they way more affordable but they honestly outperform them in every way."

We were already fans of the original version of this viral sensation, but now that it comes in a 7-pound mini model? Sold again! Got pets, kids or both? This small yet mighty sucker targets unsightly spots, minimizes odors and more on both carpets and upholstery in a perfectly portable way, and it's versatile enough to use on furniture or even car interiors.

This set comes with the Little Green, a 4-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool and a trial-size bottle of cleaning formula — and it's down to a record-low price.

Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, this top-seller is cordless for even more convenience. 

One Yahoo editor gave it a try, writing, "While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn't just 'go off' if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It's also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done."

This multi-use, nonstick beauty just might become Mom's most-utilized piece of cookware, thanks to its thoughtful design (which has attracted celebs like Selena Gomez and Oprah, by the way). The ceramic coating is slick and free of PFAS, while the handle smartly doubles as a spoon rest. Speaking of utensils, it comes with a wooden spatula and metal steamer basket that can be used as a colander, and it's oven-safe up to 450°F for added versatility. 

"So much nicer on my wrists than my heavy pans," gushed a satisfied buyer. "Absolutely nothing sticks. So excited to add color back into my kitchen as well. I will say, the pan holds a lot more than it appears and is perfect for most meals."

My immersion blender is a pretty blue hue, but you can also snag it in this bright red or neutrals like black, gray, navy and white. 

Every home cook needs a trusty frying pan for making omelets, stir-frys, pancakes and more. This one features aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and its nonstick interior makes it a breeze to clean. 

"Bought this 10-inch pan as a birthday gift to myself, and now I want a whole set," wrote a satisfied shopper. "It's a great starter size for eggs, browning a pound of meat, making two slices of French toast, overall small meals. I LOVE how easy they are to clean, even after food kind of burns onto them. They are also very durable and cook nicely. I gifted one to my mother-in-law for Christmas, and it's her favorite kitchen item now, hands down!"

Not only are these clear mugs aesthetically pleasing (your drink will look like it's levitating), they're also double-wall insulated to keep beverages hot or cold while protecting your hands. Plus, the borosilicate glass is condensation-resistant to help prevent water rings on your furniture.

Ready for fall? Here's an obvious scent for the season. This single-wick candle has notes of baked pumpkin, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and brown sugar. It offers up to 150 hours of burn time, so it should last you a while — maybe even until Turkey Day, depending on how much use it gets. Grab it while it's over 40% off!

"The smell is absolutely delicious. Definitely made the house feel like fall," said a major fan. "I would have lit this year-round, but I had it lit almost non-stop and was used up pretty fast. Didn't give me any headaches/migraines."

If pumpkin spice isn't your scent, Yankee Candle's Autumn Wreath candle is another Amazon shopper favorite, and it's also over 40% off during Prime Day.

"Before I started writing about kitchen products for a living, I worked with kitchen products for a living — as a baker, to be exact," says Senior Deals Writer Britt Ross. "That said, I still bake pretty much every week, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is what I reach for when I'm making cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I've probably made it using this mighty appliance.

"Unlike flimsier mixers on the market, this one was built to last (there's a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next!), so you won't need to worry about replacing it after a year."

Don't want to shell out north of $100 for some Adidas sneakers just because TikTok decided they were cool? Yeah, me either (I'm still bitter that my $50 Sambas have skyrocketed in price). These look every bit the part and you can get them for under $50 in this unexpected deep green, which make them a winner in my book. (They're on sale in other colors too, but prices vary.)

Many states have laws against even holding your phone in your hand while driving, whether or not you're looking at it. Do yourself a favor and stay distraction- and ticket-free with this phone mount, which is currently half off. Look at it this way: $10 is way less than the cheapest ticket I've ever gotten.

As someone who grew up in Michigan, the Great Lakes State, I've spent my fair share of time on the water and know the importance of having a life jacket around. They're inexpensive and, like wearing your seatbelt, they're a no-brainer way for you to stay alive on the water, good swimmer or not. Do me a favor: Instead of just bungee-cording this one to your boat, kayak or SUP, wear it. When you're in trouble, it may already be too late. 

I know fashion is cyclical, but I can't believe bootcut jeans are back in style (the last time I wore bootcut jeans, I was also wearing Nike Shox — what a strange time). These Lees are comfortable thanks to a bit of stretch, and stylish too.

Forget bending down to lace up your sneakers. These shoes are even hands-free when you're putting them on, which means as you're leaving the house with your hands full (which is every time I leave the house these days) you'll have no problem slipping them on and getting out the door. (Closing the door behind you, on the other hand, well, that's another problem that unfortunately these shoes don't solve.)

I love my dog. She's my running companion, my morning snuggler and a furnace for my bed when it comes to winter time. That said, she's also the reason my living room couch has seen better, cleaner days. While I have a carpet cleaner, it's not exactly what I like to use on more delicate furniture, which is where the SpotClean Pet Pro comes in handy. Another great use? Deep cleaning my car, which I do a couple of times a year to keep it feeling new.

Thermos was what my mom packed my school lunches in, and now I do the same for my daughter. This little jar is easy to clean, keeps things hot (or cold) and doesn't break the bank. Check, check, check.

I hated getting water in my eyes as a kid, even as one who loved swimming, and now my daughter is the same way. Tyr goggles were good enough for me to swim with in high school and college, and at $10 on sale, they're cheap enough to keep a few pairs on hand — essential when they inevitably get left at the pool. 

Halloween decor may already be showing up at HomeGoods, but summer isn't even half over, which means there are quite a few hot days ahead of us. Combat stifling humidity and soaring temps with this clip-on fan that doesn't even need an outlet — it's battery-powered. It's not as powerful as an AC unit, but it's a lot more portable — you can bring it just about anywhere.

Tired of your lamp taking up half the space on your nightstand but don't want to deal with having to run any wires? Batteries are your friend. Around 20 or 30 years ago, these sconces would have to be powered by large, inefficient batteries, but these days it's easy with LEDs. Plus, you can change the color to better set the mood.

Here's proof that MFi-certified cables don't have to cost a ton. This six-pack is only $9. MFi-certified charging cables are tested and approved by Apple, ensuring seamless compatibility, reliable charging and fast data transfer for your devices. Unlike uncertified alternatives, MFi cables regulate power delivery to protect your device’s battery and prevent overheating or overcharging. 

Sooner than I'd like, winter will be here, and I dread the thought of stepping out of the shower onto the cold tile floor — not only does it cause a wet mess, but it's bone-shakingly unpleasant. This soft mat is 50% off, so there's no reason to deal with that — just throw it on the floor and you'll be warm and cozy the minute your shower ends.

I was over at my neighbor's house recently when his youngest son knocked a bowl of cereal off the table. I reached for the paper towels to start wiping it up when my friend said, "I got it," and pulled out a cleaner like this one (which is a cool 45% off). Within seconds, he had the wet, sticky mess cleaned up. 

This multi-surface Bissell is part vacuum, part mop, and a must for those who have kids and pets or who just want an effortless way to clean hardwood, tile or laminate floors.

Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is, in my opinion, as a former automotive journalist, one of the most useful non-mechanical upgrades a car can have. What used to mean shelling out hundreds is now about the cost of a week's worth of coffee. What I like most about this gadget — beyond the discount — is that the screen isn't as tall as many others, so it fits better under sloped windshields and won't block your view of the road.

If you're working at a desk that doesn't have a ton of room, this lamp and power strip combo will be a lifesaver, and right now it's 44% off. It'll also save you from finding yet another free outlet (one that's probably across the room, at that) to charge your phone or other devices. 

Every single time I go to the dentist, they ask me, "How often do you floss?" I sheepishly respond, "Not enough." Instead of dealing with a mess of strings or single-use flossers that are terrible for the planet, opt for this $15 water option. It's rechargeable (no cords!) and compact enough to stow in a cabinet or drawer when it's not in use.

As a never-going-to-be-in-recovery Yeti addict, I have to admit, when I'm just running to a neighbor's backyard party, I don't bother filling up my large, heavy coolers. Instead, provided everything fits, I throw my drinks and food into an insulated lunchbox and am good to go. Unless you need ice kept for days, a lunchbox like this one is the best, most economical choice by far.

I have a Dyson V11 as my regular vacuum (complete with all of the pet attachments), but the vacuum I use the most to suck up hair? My handy dustbuster. This poor appliance isn't equipped to deal with the insane amount of hair my dog sheds daily, but it tries its best. When it finally kicks the bucket, this will surely be its replacement, complete with an extra-large dust bucket and three attachments that are made to pick up all that fur. 

I may not be the target market for women's fall sweaters, but of all the fall colors, caramel is far and away my favorite. It's neutral enough to go with jeans or more dressed up with gray, navy or even black pants. Plus, at just $9, this is kind of a no-brainer.
