I'm stocking up on household essentials on Amazon – with up to 60% off dishwasher tablets, laundry detergent and more
Now is the time to shop the sales and it's not all about luxury finds – saving on everyday essentials is just as satisfying
Buying household essentials is seldom a joyous task, after all, who wants to spend money on boring items when you could snap up luxury beauty buys or the latest fashion must-haves?
That said, life at home wouldn't function without the many household essentials so there's no getting away from it. So we say make the most of the sales to bulk buy items for less now so you can at least save money in the process and stay well stocked for the foreseeable.
Amongst other items I'm buying two of possibly the most unglamorous things in the world - Method Anti-Bacterial All-Purpose Cleaner refill and Cheeky Panda Bamboo Toilet Rolls but both are items that I routinely 'add to basket' so I'm taking advantage of today's household essentials Amazon Prime Day deals.
Household essentials: Amazon Prime Day Deals
Finish Powerball Quantum Infinity Shine Dishwasher Tablets Bulk: Was £31 Now £15.99 at Amazon
This whopping saving makes each dishing washing load more cost-effective than ever. The XL pack contains 83 tablets in total, offering enough powerful cleaning solutions to last for months – so you shouldn't run out mid-festive period (which is in 78 days, sorry but it's true).
PHILIPS LED Classic Light Bulb 6 Pack: Was £18.44 Now £9.98 at Amazon
There's nothing quite as frustrating around the home as when a bulb goes and you don't have a spare to replace it. Because there's no warning it can suddenly plunge your home into darkness at the most inconvenient time. therefore light bulbs are one thing I always keep a supply of, and these warm white bulbs are going straight into the 'spare' drawer.
Ecover Non-Concentrated Non-Bio Laundry Liquid Refill: Was £18 Now £13.59 at Amazon
Having just bought this in a smaller version in a well-known supermarket last month I am most definitely happy to restock. Its pleasing cleaning results and fresh 'Lavender & Eucalyptus' scent are a winning combination. The 5 litre capacity offers 56 washes which equals just 24p per wash thanks to the sale price.
Regina Blitz Household Towels: Was £30 Now £20.95 at Amazon
Kitchen towel is one of those everyday essentials that is all too easy to forget when writing the shopping list of things you have run out of. This pack of 12 rolls should last the best part of the year, so that needn't be a problem. The popular 3-ply kitchen roll features 70 sheets per roll of FSC Certified Paper.
The Cheeky Panda Bamboo Toilet Rolls Bulk Buy: Was £22.99 Now £11.50 at Amazon
This 55% discount makes this 'Amazon's Choice' bulk buy even better for value. The sustainable tissue paper pack contains 24 rolls of 3-ply toilet paper and has a 4.5-star rating on the site, proving its popularity. Breaking down the costs it works out at just 43p per roll.
MR.SIGA Microfiber Cleaning Cloth, Pack of 12: Was £15.99 Now £9.99 at Amazon
Whether cleaning the fridge or cleaning a coffee machine a microfibre cloth will always be a household essential for getting the job done effectively. Bulk buying microfiber cloths means that you will always have a cleaning tool handy because you can wash and rotate them.
Method Anti-Bacterial All-Purpose Cleaner Refill: Was £7 Now £5.19 at Amazon
I have this very surface spray and the 'Wild Rhubarb' scent smells divine - the ideal way to make your kitchen smell good. This refill bottle means you can fill your empty bottle (mine is the 882ml bottle) or any small spray bottle to keep this larger 2L bottle in the cupboard.
UniBond Aero 360° Moisture Absorber Neutral Refill Tab: Was £12.50 Now £9.61 at Amazon
I've just bought 2 packs of these because I own the UniBond Aero 360° Moisture Absorber. As one of the best dehumidifiers for a bathroom, it doesn't use electricity, instead, these absorbent tablets are what soak up the excess moisture in my bathroom. I can highly recommend it.
It's all too easy to get carried away during sale periods and only shop the bigger ticket items, which is still a brilliant idea from the best dehumidifiers to the best air fryers to secure big discounts on famous brands, but all too often we ignore the small wins. And right now in these costly times, the small wins can make a huge difference.
And speaking of small wins I tell just anyone who will listen about my latest Amazon DIY floorboard insulation purchase which costs less than £30 and has helped keep my house warm ever since installing it. Worth its weight in gold.
If you have the space bulk buying household essentials is a must, it means you make noticeable savings and save yourself the time making future purchases – not to mention it means you won't be caught short and run out.
Now is a particularly good time to get ahead of bulk buying household essentials to make savings and get preparation underway ahead of Christmas, because it'll be here before you know it.
