Trash Bags, Toothbrushes, and More Boring But Necessary Things on Sale Right Now
Summer is the time to focus on things like new sandals, vacations, and basically all the fun outdoor stuff you might not be able to do during the rest of the year. But now that the season is winding down, let’s refocus: You probably don’t need a new swimsuit right now, but how are you doing on garbage bags, toilet paper, and Band-Aids? Shopping for everyday essentials may not sound enticing, but I’d argue that making sure you’re stocked up on the things you actually need is quite satisfying. It demonstrates maturity, preparedness, and good judgment — especially when you get all of those essentials on sale. To that end, I’ve rounded up 48 legitimately good discounts on cleaning supplies, oral-care products, multivitamins, and more. Many of the below items are things we’ve written about before — like a humidifier that’s great for forthcoming winter dryness and the compost bin that earned a spot in our Home Hall of Fame — alongside many other things worth having around the house, like batteries, hangers, and Tylenol.
Of course, while everything below is on sale as of this writing, prices and availability fluctuate, so make sure to save (by clicking the heart in the top-right corner of each item) the items you buy regularly — if it’s not on sale the next time you need a restock, you’ll get an email alert when the price does drop again. And be sure to sign up for our Deal Freaks emails so you never miss a good sale.
Deals I personally think are the best
I’ve long been a corded-vacuum-only kinda gal because I hate the idea of losing suction mid-clean. But I also hate winding a cord, so I’m intrigued by this on-sale Shark system since it’s the Strategist pick for best cordless vac overall. My infant son blows out his diaper on a semi-regular basis, and I can’t remember the last time my daughter came home from school without some freshly stained clothing, so I’m also very intrigued by the stain remover lead editor Lauren Levy says removes everything from cherries to mustard to the aftermath of a nosebleed. And speaking of my messy children, I’ll take some of those Water Wipes to-go packs, too.
