Listen, we know you might’ve already made your big ticket purchases for the year like a deep-cleaning robot vacuum or workhorse Vitamix blender. That being said, right now, October Prime Day is an excellent time to stock up on everyday household items. This year’s 2024 Prime Big Deal Days sales event officially kicks off Tuesday, Oct. 8th at 3a ET, and 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 this week? The answer is — probably. Some of the best October Prime deals we’ve already spotted have actually been on bulk items like laundry detergent and trash bags, along with perhaps “unsexy” essentials like toothpaste and mouthwash. Not to mention some of our favorite everyday wellness products, from our favorite water flosser, to this status-y hand soap (and yes, yes, Crest Whitestrips, too).

What Are the Best October Prime Day Deals on Household Essentials?

Purchasing items with generous discounts in bulk can result in significant savings throughout the year — now, imagine how much more you can save with a full cart. If you want to enjoy all of the steep discounts we’re seeing, you’ll need to have an Amazon Prime subscription. And the good news is that right now you can get your first 30 days as a member for free. After that, if you wish to keep your membership, you’ll pay $14.99 a month, or $139 annually.

Below, our team of shopping experts (aka Prime Day veterans) have found the best October Prime Day deals on everyday essentials deals we’ve seen live so far.
