Amazon Prime Day 2024: Here's What Our Editors are Buying on Day 1
This is not a test: Amazon Prime Day 2024 is officially LIVE! Our editors have already scoured the sale and found the top deals. Here's what they're buying on the first day of the sale.
RIP to our wallets - Amazon Prime Day is officially here! Our editors have been up since the wee hours of the morning drinking (slightly concerning) amounts of coffee and scouring every inch of the sale to deliver the best deals to you. Along the way, they’ve been filling their own carts with deals that are just too good to pass up.
Some of us, like Julie and Christina, are practical shoppers who like to use Prime Day as an opportunity to score deals on household essentials. They like to stock up on snacks, supplements, and beauty products that they routinely buy. Others, like Mike and Dana, use Prime to score deals on higher-ticket items in the home and tech categories. But none of our editors can resist a great deal, so there have been plenty of impulse buys along the way!
As we predicted, Prime Day is starting off strong with deep discounts on electronics, fashion, home, and beauty. Shop our editors' carts from Day 1 below!
