48 Boring-but-Useful Things to Buy This Prime Day

It's pretty tempting to make an impulse buy during Prime Day—but in this economy, that's probably the last thing your wallet needs. Everyday shit is already expensive enough. Better to use the super-sale (happening now through July 11) to stock up on the practical stuff you were going to grab anyway.
Lawn tools, toothpaste multi-packs, and garage shelving units might not be the sexiest purchases, but you'll still feel good about them when it's time to pay off your credit card. To help a few smart picks find their way into your Amazon cart, we pulled 48 of the most useful Prime Day deals worth your hard-earned dollars.
Take pride in a lush, green yard? Now's the time to upgrade your lawn tools, thanks to Amazon's steep discounts on Ego, Black+Decker, Greenpower, and other top names. After all, why wrestle a new mower into your trunk when you can have one delivered straight to your door?
Personal Care ProductsIf you aren't shopping for personal care products during Prime Day, you're missing out on some serious savings (and the joy of buying hair loss treatments from the privacy of your own home). The best deals are on multi-packs and value sizes.
Wardrobe BasicsPrime Day is the perfect opportunity to finally replace your worn-out socks, ratty underwear, and pit-stained basic tees. We're currently eyeing major markdowns on Hanes, Calvin Klein, Under Armour, and Adidas.
Organization and StorageIf you're in need of a home project, nab a few discounted organizational products during this week's sale. Amazon has hundreds of Prime Day deals on storage containers, shelving units, and handy little organization hacks.
Cleaning ProductsBuying a vacuum or portable carpet cleaner isn't nearly as fun as snagging a snazzy inflatable kayak or VR headset—but you'll be glad you did when your in-laws come knocking. Even something as small as a drain snake can make a major difference around the house.
SunscreenStock up on SPF now and you're set for the rest of beach season. Amazon is slashing prices on body sprays and face lotions from Neutrogena, CeraVe, Banana Boat, and more. Might as well toss in a bottle of aloe vera while you're at it.
Household EssentialsYou'd be dumb not to restock your household essentials—especially since we scored an exclusive promo code. Use HEARSTAB10 to save an extra 10 percent on batteries, disinfecting wipes, and other Amazon Basics essentials, now through July 11 at 11:59 PM PST. (Heads up: The code has limited redemptions and expires once it's maxed out. One per customer. Terms apply.)
Pantry StaplesSkip the grocery run and grab your pantry staples for less during Prime Day. There's an endless array of protein powders, granola bars, hydration drink mixes, and midnight snacks to pick from—so go ahead and try something new.
