FAQs on buying in bulk for Prime Day

Is Prime Day a good time to buy in bulk?

Yes, if you're purchasing products you use regularly and would buy anyway. Household essentials, toiletries, and cleaning supplies are often among the strongest Prime Day values because they combine sale pricing with multi-pack discounts.

Which categories have the best bulk buy deals?

Paper products, cleaning supplies, personal care items, and pantry staples have the best deals. Paper products will give you the best return for your money because they don't expire and will be used consistently.

Should I choose "Subscribe & Save" if it's an option?

Amazon sometimes allows shoppers to stack Prime Day discounts with Subscribe & Save discounts, lowering the effective price further. Check your stock in a month and cancel future shipments if it turns out you don't run through as much as you expected.
