The most-purchased items this month
July on the Strategist was dominated by Amazon Prime Day. The most expensive item a Strategist reader bought was a Frame TV for $2,698. (It’s now back to its non–Prime Day price of $3,198.) It’s not a surprise to see this Clinique Black Honey Almost-Lipstick in the No. 1 slot this month — it was a mainstay of our Prime Day liveblog.
