There are plenty of exciting discounts on as part of the Amazon Prime Day deals event. You can pick up a cheap coffee machine, a bargain smart speaker, or waltz away with a great quality new mattress for a fraction of its usual price. But if you're just buying cool, hi-tech products, you're missing a trick.
There are some ridiculous bargains on some very boring, but sadly essential, products too. First, sign up for a FREE Amazon Prime trial (or pat yourself on the back if you're already a member). Next read on for our pick of the best essentials Prime Deals today – stock up, save and feel smug for being so organised and sensible.
