Prime Day Deals I Actually Think Are Worth It


Hi Reader,

Prime Day has never been about buying more stuff for me.

In fact, if you REALLY knew me, you'd know shopping is not my thing. I get overwhelmed by too many choices, I hate waste, and I truly value every penny. Some people call it cheap. I prefer "mindful." Fitting, right?

For me, Prime Day is simply a reminder to stock up on things I already buy regularly (like trash bags, sunscreen, moisturizer, shampoo and conditioner, freezer bags, and even q-tips -- the glamorous stuff!), replace items that have seen better days, and occasionally grab something I've been watching for a sale.

So I rounded up a handful of deals that I genuinely think are worth considering, especially if you're trying to make your dollars stretch a little further.

And if shopping isn't your thing either, I completely understand. I'll be back tomorrow with recipes. I never want anyone spending money on something they don't need -- I'm sharing these simply because they may be helpful.

The Prime Day Deals Worth Considering

Wood Composite Cutting Board: Dishwasher safe, durable, and no plastic flakes ending up in your food. I've had mine for years and still reach for it daily.

KitchenAid Handheld Mixer: My trusty 25-year-old mixer finally gave up yesterday. Apparently it knew Prime Day was coming.

Cosori Air Fryers: Still my favorite brand. Their PFAS-free model is marked down, but if you're looking for the one I use most often, the stainless steel model remains my top pick (even if it isn't on sale).

Oven Safe Thermometers: My go-to for turkey, roasts, and steaks when I want to monitor the temperature without opening the oven.

Airtight Containers for Pantry: If you live somewhere warm and humid, these can save a surprising amount of money by preventing ingredients from going stale—or attracting uninvited pantry guests. Ask me how I know. 😵‍💫

Instant Pot Duo: Currently one of the best deals I've seen. This is still my favorite model and the one I recommend most often. Simple, reliable, and far less finicky than some of the newer versions.

Happy Shopping!

Kristen

Hi Reader, Mornings are often busy and hectic, especially if your child starts school at 7 am or you have to beat the morning rush and head into the office before sunrise. To make my mornings a bit less chaotic, I love turning to make-ahead breakfast recipes you can enjoy quickly (or easily pack for the road).

Hi Reader, Now that school is back in session, a sense of routine has returned. And with that comes a jam-packed schedule and the need for simple, satisfying meals. And while I have tons of ideas for school lunches, prep-ahead breakfasts, nourishing snacks, and 30-minute dinner recipes, sometimes all of those options can lead to decision fatigue (at least for me!)

Hi Reader, Meal prep does not mean spending all day in the kitchen. For me, it often looks like planning my menu using similar ingredients and leftovers in new ways. On this week's meal plan, I am keeping things simple by making one large batch of protein, a pot of rice, and homemade refried beans. Those three basics do the heavy lifting, while a few familiar toppings help each meal feel completely different. For the protein, you can choose what works best for your family: Instant Pot...
