Prime Days July 8-11th

Just a reminder that great savings can be had during Prime Days starting tomorrow, July 8th. This 4-day sale period is generally filled with substantial bargains. If you have had an item on your wish list, or have been saving for a big ticket item, now is the time to check for discounts and savings.

The discounts change frequently, often while you are looking at an item. Not everything is marked down, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to look. Here are some of my favorite items.

For the Kitchen

I use my Dutch ovens all the time. This is a smoking deal on Martha Stewart’s enamel cast iron Dutch oven. The 5 quart is the perfect size for making sourdough bread, soups and stews. If you are looking for something larger, it is also available in a 7 quart size. Priced at a 51% discount, the 5 quart is $51.99; the 7 quart is 31% off at $68.99.

This is a bigger ticket item but we have paid for this several times over by not buying coffee drinks from Starbucks or elsewhere. We have one in Phoenix and one at the cabin and it gets used several times per day. There is a slight savings of 8%, reducing the price from $650.00 to $599.00. But if you are looking for a fabulous coffee maker (espresso, Americano, lattes, cappuccino, macchiato) with a milk steamer, this is the one for you.

Beauty and Health Products

It appears that only some of my beauty products are on sale today. Will that change tomorrow? Not sure.

I just wrote about this Organic Castor Oil in my last Saturday Meanderings post. It is 55% off and for a 16 oz. bottle the price is $9.99.

Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Soothing Color Correcting Treatment with SPF 30 neutralizes redness and evens skin tone. On those days I don’t want to wear a foundation makeup, I just apply this and love that it has sunscreen protection. The full size now 20% off at $43.20. They have a mini travel size too.

If I could bathe in this I would. I use Arnicare for all my aches and pains. This is a homeopathic solution to muscle pain and stiffness. On sale now at 19% off at $13.71 for a tube of it.

For the Outdoors

If you are having a buggy summer, I just purchased this but have not tried it yet. However, it comes on good authority from my friend, Joanne that this works. This DEET-free insect repellent has 3 scent selections from no fragrance to Citrus & Sandalwood and Green Tea & Mint. I will not use DEET products on my skin. It is 6% off at $14.99.

These pruners are a good size and very sharp. At 15% off, you can acquire it for $15.o1. I use mine all the time to keep my roses and shrubs looking good. I do not have a pair at the cabin so this is on my wish list.

These fly fans are a must if you are eating outside this summer. Now 42% off, you can get two of them for $18.99.

There are many varieties of mosquito incense sticks, depending on length of burn, scent and price. Some are on sale, others not today. If you are having a mosquito problem that interrupts your enjoyment of the outdoors, these sticks work well. Some burn for an hour and others up to 8 hours. So depending on what you need, here’s the link to the page.

Clothing, Closet and Fabric Care

Moths give me the heebie- jeebies. It is maddening to get those little holes in your nice wool or cashmere sweaters or coats. Don’t even mention moths in the pantry. Eeew. These Bug MD moth traps work well to trap those pesky moths. Now on sale at 18% off you get 6 traps for $24.47.

This is one of those products that you don’t realize you need until you get a good one. I finally spent a day in my closet shaving all the nubs and lint off of my sweaters and what an improvement. This product is now 41% off at $9.99. Such a bargain and you will be impressed with how well it works.

In 2022, I bought this Biucly Boho Women’s blouse and every time I wear it I still get compliments. With 21 different colors and fabrics, you will find what you love. Didn’t see any discounts yet, but it’s fairly priced at $28.98.

For the Home

Last summer, I purchased a robotic vacuum to use at our cabin because we have hardwood floors (and lots of dog hair from Finn). Even though I do a thorough vacuum once a week, this robotic one does a good job in between.

The vacuum I bought is no longer available but this one by Shark might be a good option if you are in the market for one. With over 44,000 reviews and a 4.1 rating, it is now 50% off at $297.99. Mine auto-empties (which I like) and it also maps out the area. I start it from an app on my phone and the dog and cat are not bothered by it running around. Apparently this one is voice control too? It would be fun to boss around your vacuum!

I LOVE Krud Kutter and it’s 11% off for only $7.98. If you have never used this product, check out this post. Every chance I can use it (in the kitchen, on the BBQ), I do. It is a degreaser and stain remover, water-based, non-toxic and safe for use at home.

Purchased in 2018, this Bissell Little Green machine is still going strong. It cleans stains out of carpets, upholstery, car interiors and more. It’s small and portable, but powerful. Though I’m not finding a discount today, I imagine you will see significant savings over the next 4 days. Now priced at $123.59.

Many of the products I love and use are not showing discounts. If you download Kindle books, I believe there are discounts there too.

Have fun shopping and hope you score some really good deals.
