Prime Day: What Our Editors Are Buying for Themselves

For those of us who cover shopping, Amazon’s Prime Day sale is like the Olympics. We spent weeks leading up to July 11 and 12 training for the big event — i.e, combing Amazon for the best possible deals, highest-rated discounts, and lowest-ever prices.

Throughout this intense warmup period, it’s inevitable that we come across an item (or several) that we add to our own carts in anticipation of hitting “buy it now” on the big day — which, we’re happy to say, has arrived.

Ahead, check out the Amazon Prime Day deals that we think are so spectacular, we’re actually buying them for ourselves.

Don’t forget to sign up for Amazon Prime to take the most advantage of these discounts. As a member, you’ll get benefits and deals on fast shipping, streaming TV and movies, grocery rewards, and so much more.
