If you've got Amazon Prime, you're probably using it for fast, free shipping and the occasional late-night movie binge. But there's an underrated perk that flies way under the radar: "Just for Prime" deals. Amazon keeps this section tucked away like a secret menu, but the discounts are very real and very worth digging up. Think of it as the members-only back room where everything's marked down.
Case in point: This highly-rated comforter set is down to $30, from $55. And if you're looking for the perfect Dutch oven now that we're dipping into soup-and-stew season, you can snag this attractive option for just $40, down from $60 — that's just the tip of the savings iceberg.
Time for you to unlock this hidden hub! To get you started, we've rounded up some deals that are truly worth your time. Check back often — like that box of chocolates, you never know what you're going to get.
This sleek set, which includes the cozy comforter that our editor Britt Ross calls "five-star luxury at a Motel 6 price" is currently almost 50% off, and includes everything you need to enjoy your own little piece of sleepytime heaven: the aforementioned reversible comforter, two pillowcases, two pillow shams, a matching fitted sheet and a matching flat sheet.
Take it from Britt: "I've been using it for over a year now, and I can't believe the difference it's made in my sleep. I feel like I'm getting tucked into a hotel bed every night, and even after washing the comforter, it's maintained its marshmallow-like feel."
CC creams, aka "color corrective creams," are a great tool to have in your makeup bag when you're dealing with skin frustrations like discoloration and hyperpigmentation. This highly-rated pick from Lumene helps in a "your skin but better" kind of way — instead of having to pile up concealer and getting that dreaded caked-on makeup look, this hydrating, lightweight foundation allows your real skin to shine through while also reducing redness and evening tone.
Several of the most popular shades are on Prime Member-exclusive sale right now, including Ultra Light, Tan, Rich and the pictured Fair.
Some shoppers call these "better than Birks," but we're just loving that price — a mere $30 for Amazon Prime shoppers. Though we're technically in fall now, the warmth hasn't begun to abate, and a comfy pair of sandals is definitely the ticket for the rest of the sunny season. These slides are made of real leather and offer a comfy fit and durable support, perfect for tooling around the house or heading out to cut through your to-do list.
'Tis candle season, my friends! And as a mom to one little guy learning to crawl and one peppy pup who barrels into just about every piece of furniture if the doorbell rings, I totally understand if, for safety's sake, you'd rather go flameless with your fragrance this fall. The key? Candle warming lamps like this one, which heat up and melt the wax without the need for lighting a wick. This option has three built-in timers to choose from (two hours, four hours or eight hours) so you don't ever have to worry about leaving it on.
This pick is ideal for layering and will be an MVP in your transitional wardrobe. Throw it on under a blouse or a button-down shirt and you're ready for work, brunch or errands. It's made with breathable, moisture-wicking and stretchy fabric, so it's a wildly versatile base layer that you'll probably want to buy in multiples.
Big names like Kyle Richards are also fans: "This is one of my favorite [sports bras]... this is great, great, great," said the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star.
My current stainless steel knife set is looking a little blah. I don't sharpen them as much as I should, and I have been known to throw them in the dishwasher from time to time, but the worst part is that the markings telling me what knife is what in my drawer have worn off, leaving me guessing. If you pick up this 40%-off knife set, you won't have that issue — each blade and handle is in a different color.
This week, I was listening to the oldies station. I forgot to bring my phone with me, so I actually had to use the radio, and Blink-182 came on. Ouch. Talk about making you feel old. My kiddo hasn't yet learned to embrace the pop-punk rock of my youth, so I stick to jamming out with my headphones on. These block out all kinds of noise and are perfect for travel, mowing the lawn, and even after-dinner neighborhood walks. (Maybe I am getting old?)
Brighten up your kitchen with this Dutch oven that does everything you need, but for a fraction of the price. Make that a fraction of a fraction, since Prime members can snag this hot number for just $40. Engineered for outstanding heat mastery, it locks in flavor with a self-basting lid that keeps meals juicy and tender. From stovetop to oven (up to 500℉), this versatile workhorse handles everything from stews to roasts — while its sleek enamel finish makes cleanup effortless.
Forget packing an entire suitcase just to fit all of your hair and makeup accoutrements — you're better off buying travel-sized products, and it'll save you money in the long run. (Have you seen baggage fees these days?) This mini flat iron will do everything the full-size one will, it might just take you longer. It also comes with a decidedly "mini" price tag, too.
Soundcore (Anker's in-house audio brand) makes some really great headphones at some really surprising prices (my go-to over-the-ears for travel are Soundcores). For $30 (that's 40% off), you wouldn't expect to get as many features as you do with these P30i buds, like ANC and 45 hours of playtime, but here we are. Also, if you're not into pink, no worries — there are four other colors, all marked down.
I'm currently packing (and repacking) for a trip to the Canadian Rockies, and while I'll likely be near an outlet most of the time, I never fully rely on it, not when power banks have gotten so inexpensive. Anker is one of the best names in the game, and this two-pack will cost you less than $20 apiece. They'll be your best friends when traveling through an airport with a phone battery about to die.
I've cooked with a lot of types of cookware, and while my current setup includes cast iron and stainless steel, titanium nonstick pans are far and away the easiest to use and clean. These are PFOA- and PFOS-free, so they come not only with lids and utensils, but with peace of mind.
I'll admit, I was skeptical about MagSafe at first, and how much I'd actually use it. These days, though, I'm firmly on team MagSafe — I use it in the car, at home and with chargers like this one that snap right onto your phone. The included adjustable stand means you can go hands-free the next time you FaceTime. And if pink isn't your jam, it also comes in three other colors: black, white and blue.
This overlooked section is packed with deals — no wonder these boxes seem to be smiling! (Amazon)
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 $35 or more.)
