Quick PSA: Amazon’s Big Spring Sale ends tomorrow. And a reminder that unlike Amazon’s Prime Day, you don’t have to be a Prime member to access the deals. As I’ve said before, my philosophy on these sales events is to stock up on things you already use and are going to repurchase anyway. That applies to things likehand soap,laundry detergent, your favoritemakeup remover, and toothbrush heads. To help you sift through the pages of sales, I’ve pulled together the best deals on things worth rebuying now — ranging from household essentials and beauty products to health and wellness items. One note: Even though a good sale is technically 20 percent off or more, there are a couple of items on this list that are 15 percent off. Not the steepest deal but still worth buying while you can get the extra discount. And for even more up-to-the-minute sales coverage from our team, make sure to sign up for theStrategist Deal Freaks Dailynewsletterto get all the best deals from the sale sent right to your inbox.
