It’s Prime Day week! If you’re shopping Amazon’s highly anticipated sale, let’s take a moment to work on your strategy. It’s no secret that there are hundreds of deals to take advantage of, but before you dive headfirst into the items on your wish list, start with the basics. Stock up on essentials — from new pairs of underwear from Fruit of the Loom to Duracell batteries to power your home. Keep scrolling for our guide to shopping the best Amazon Prime Day 2023 essentials deals.

However, Amazon Prime members can save 20% on dozens of Amazon brand essentials, like the 6-pack of sponges below — during the "Stock Up & Save" event. All you need to do to unlock the extra savings is spend at least $50 (max bonus discount you'll receive is $100). There's even a helpful progress bar at the top that shows how close you are to reaching the deal, and you'll be delighted to see the total savings will be highlighted at checkout. If you aren't yet a Prime member, no worries — now is a great chance to take advantage of the free 30-day trial and reap these rewards.

The reviews quoted above reflect the most recent versions at the time of publication.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)
