As your favorite professional deal hunters, we pride ourselves in knowing the difference between a deal-icious discount and a disastrous dud. This Amazon Prime Day, we’ve been up since the wee hours comparing prices, poring over historical data and sharing the goodies worth spending your hard-earned cash on. After all, we wouldn’t recommend it if we wouldn’t spend our own money on it.
Of course, like any shopping savant worth their salt, we know that the best recommendations sometimes come from our very own readers. Luckily, Yahoo readers have been busy shopping — and based on our internal data, you’ve been buying certain products in droves.
We crunched the numbers and put together a list of October Prime Day essentials Yahoo readers can’t get enough of. Here are 10 tried-and-true buys that they’ve been scooping up since the event kicked off this morning:
