Amazon


This comprehensive food storage container set can tame even the messiest of pantries. The set comes with 12 tall containers (six that are 2.5 quarts and six that are 1.8 quarts), six medium containers (1.5 quarts) and six small containers (0.7 quarts). We love that these come with decorative chalk labels, which will make organizing your pantry not only easier but also fun.

The containers are made of dishwasher-safe, BPA-free plastic. They’re also stackable and conveniently see-through, making it easy to find ingredients and snacks as well as discern how much of them you have left. Keep in mind these are only for dry foods.

The Vtopmart airtight food storage containers are a favorite of Amazon shoppers and have a 4.7-star rating out of more than 20,000 ratings. 

“I love that my pantry is so organized now and protected from rice and flour bugs,” a reviewer says. “I thought this set had too many containers but I had just enough. Love them. My life feels free and organized.”

The Labigo electric spin scrubber was designed to clean the surfaces of your home with greater ease and efficiency. The spin scrubber gets the job done with its four included brush heads. These include one small and large flat brush, a dome brush and a corner brush, the latter of which is great for scrubbing around your baseboards as well as your toilet’s base. 

What also helps with getting into hard-to-reach places is the scrubber’s adjustable base, which can be extended up to 3.5 feet, and a scrub head that can be rotated. These will give you the ability to scrub high and low in your home, from the bottom of the tub to the crown molding that lines your ceilings. The scrubber can last up to an hour and a half on a single charge.

The Labigo electric spin scrubber has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon. 

“I can’t begin to explain how happy I am with this item; I have a bad back and threw it out twice cleaning the hall bathtub,” a reviewer says. “I am 56 and no longer going to even attempt it again…then I saw this on a cleaning video on TikTok; game changer!”

The pack includes two devices, perfect for covering more ground in your space. Each device features a UV light that attracts bugs, as well as a glue card that can capture flying insects without toxicity and smells. Once the bugs are stuck on the glue card, they can’t escape. This device can also double as a nightlight.

The LED lights can run on smart mode or night mode. In smart mode, the device will detect movement and its light will turn on or off automatically. In night mode, the device will stay lit until you turn it off, attracting and killing bugs while you sleep. Refill glue cards are sold separately. 

This insect trap is currently $26 when you apply the Amazon coupon, reduced from $40.

What we like about the Mosalogic flying insect trap plug-in set:

  • It’s easy to use.
  • It traps and kills bugs without annoying sounds, irritating scents or harmful chemicals.

Cosrx snail mucin hydrating serum: $17 (save 40%)

COSRX Snail Mucin

Amazon


This TikTok-approved serum is made with 96% snail secretion filtrate (snail mucin) and is designed to protect the skin from losing moisture. Snail mucin may also promote collagen production, which can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

“I was initially skeptical about using anything related to snails on my face, but the results spoke for themselves,” an Amazon reviewer says. “This serum is like a hydrating blanket for the skin! From the very first use, I could feel an added layer of moisture without it feeling greasy. My skin felt plump, and there was a noticeable reduction in the appearance of fine lines.”

This serum is currently $17, reduced from $25.

Why we like the Cosrx snail mucin hydrating serum:

  • With an Amazon rating of 4.6 stars and over 50,000 reviews, it’s safe to say that Amazon shoppers approve of this TikTok famous product.
  • It’s unscented, which is great for those with sensitive skin or fragrance sensitivities.
  • It is not tested on animals.

This pots and pans organizer comes with eight racks, including two on one side for your deep saute pans and four on the other side for lighter frying pans. There’s also one bottom rack on either side that’s best suited for bigger stock pots. 

What we like about this organizer is that you can also assemble it horizontally. This configuration allows you to store your pans on their side, giving you the chance to neatly organize your cookware in a drawer. 

The Mudeela pots and pans organizer boasts a 4.3-star rating on Amazon. 

“This fits easily in my builder-grade cabinets,” a reviewer says. “I no longer need to stack and protect my nonstick pans; I can easily retrieve the pan I need without unstacking and restacking pans. The apparatus remains stable regardless of the pan I remove. Very pleased.”

When is Prime Big Deal Days?

The Prime Big Deal Days sales event (also known as October Prime Day) is scheduled for October 8 and 9, 2024.


What else is on sale during Prime Big Deal Days?

During the Prime Big Deal Days sales event, you’ll also find big discounts across all of Amazon’s departments, including home, tech, kitchen, fitness and so much more. This is the perfect time to kick off (and potentially even finish) your holiday shopping, without having to deal with Black Friday crowds and having the gifts you want to purchase being sold out. You’ll find deals on luggage for your holiday travels, too.


Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop Prime Big Deal Days deals?

Yes. Like during Prime Day in July, the best deals at the Prime Big Deal Days sales event will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

Don’t have Prime? We highly encourage you to try the service. In our opinion, Amazon Prime is worth it. Amazon Prime is popular for a reason — not only do you get fast free shipping (two-day, one-day or even same-day shipping, depending on the products ordered), but you also get access to Prime Video, where you’ll find a plethora of award-winning movies and TV shows, “Thursday Night Football,” discounts at Whole Foods and Amazon Fresh, free Kindle downloads and more.

If you’ve never tried Amazon Prime before, the retailer will likely offer you a 30-day free trial to test out the service (your trial offer may differ). And if you’re a college student or a shopper between the ages of 18 and 24, you can try out Prime for six months free, then afterward pay a discounted rate of $7.49 per month.

An Amazon Prime membership is $14.99 per month or $139 per year if you choose to pay annually (the monthly rate for that is about $11.50). But right now, Amazon is offering a special Prime deal: You can get three months of Prime for just $7.49.


Do products on sale during Amazon Big Deal Days sell out?

You bet they do — and sometimes things sell out within hours. If you see something on sale that you want to get your hands on during the Amazon Big Deal Days sale, order it right away. Often, quantities are limited. Once a product is sold out at the sale price, Amazon won’t always restock right away and when it does restock, the sale price likely won’t be offered.


Can products bought from Amazon during Amazon Big Deal Days be returned?

Unless it specifically states in the product description or near the “add to cart” and “buy now” buttons that the product being offered on sale is a final sale or not returnable, Amazon’s regular return policy for that product will be honored. 

On the right side of a product description on Amazon, just below the “buy now” button (and where it says “ships from and sold by”), look for the heading that says “returns.” 

If the text says, “eligible for return, refund or replacement within 30 days of receipt,” that’s the return policy that will be honored. However, you may be responsible for paying return shipping to Amazon, unless you drop off the product at a Whole Foods or UPS Store, which accepts some Amazon returns.
