Prime Day is History Archiveshere (again), and if you've already shopped the big-ticket items you were hoping to snag this time around, it might be time to stock up on the things you actually need now. For instance, you might be running low on trash bags. Or maybe you need some laundry detergent. Prime Day is a great time for grabbing those items, too. In fact, there are tons of deals to be had on these very things. (Head to our live blog to read all the latest live coverage of the event.)

You can find some big price cuts on everything from dishwasher tablets to Clorox wipes and more right now, with additional deals popping up here and there as Prime Day wears on. Sure, they may not be the most glamorous or exciting things to save money on (you'd probably be more hype about bringing home a new gaming laptop) but they're still things you probably need.

Best home essentials deal

Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Basics 2-Ply Paper Towels $18.45 at Amazon
$22.86 Save $4.41

Why we like it

What can we say? These are Amazon-branded paper towels. They're 2-ply and you get 12 of them, with 150 sheets per roll, which makes them comparable to 32 regular rolls. You can get them for less than $20 right now, which already means they're probably cheaper than your local supermarket budget brands. Amazon-branded items are usually comparable to the leading option, and if you need some paper towels to clean up messes large and small, this is a safe bit to stock up on.
