Prime Day is still underway, and during this event—which ends later tonight—you can take advantage of some of the biggest shopping discounts of the year outside of Black Friday.

Knowing where to begin can be challenging with so many great discounts everywhere. You might be tempted to go big—especially if there’s a new tablet or a TV that’s finally gone on sale—but you may end up spending more money that way.

For some bargain shoppers, the key to getting more out of Prime Day is to stock up on everyday essentials like hangers, desktop fans, and dog bags. At their regular prices, these kinds of products can get pricey, too. But if you shop Amazon Basics, the retailer’s house label, you can get many of these staples at steep savings, with prices dropping even lower during Prime Day. Below are some of the best deals we’ve spotted during the sale.
