Let’s be real: Times are financially tough for many of us. Excess purchases and big splurges may not necessarily be in the cards this Prime Day, even with all the stellar deals that have you contemplating reaching for your wallet. But just because you may not have expendable cash to throw around doesn’t mean you can’t take part in Prime Day. If anything, it’s the perfect excuse to stock up on all those things around the house you probably needed to replace ages ago—think shower curtain liners, air fryer sheets and most exciting of all, sponges.

Amazon is a great spot for securing all your needs in one fell swoop, be it fashion staples or affordable beauty items. The same can be said for routine survival basics—it’s easily a primary go-to for things like dish soap, laundry detergent and window cleaner for many, since it carries tons of name brands for less.

Below, find all the not-so-sexy essentials we’d recommend adding to your cart in bulk this Prime Day. As always, sign up for subscribe and save purchases so you never have to think about these things again.
