Maximize Your Savings on College Essentials with Amazon Prime Day Deals

Must read

Whether your child is embarking on their first year of college or moving into their initial apartment, it’s a wise move to seek savings on college essentials during Amazon Prime Day.

WHAT IS AMAZON PRIME DAY?
Amazon Prime Day is an annual, two-day shopping extravaganza presented by Amazon. Today and tomorrow, a plethora of top-selling products will be available at discounted prices exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers.

In addition to substantial savings during these two days, Prime membership offers various perks. Amazon also provides a Student Prime Membership tailored to students. Both Prime and Student Prime members can enjoy exclusive Amazon Prime Day deals.

SAVING ON COLLEGE ESSENTIALS DURING AMAZON PRIME DAY
For parents whose children are venturing to college for the first time, understanding precisely what their student needs can be a challenge. While countless college shopping lists are available online and in parent Facebook groups, we’ve discovered that recommendations from these lists may not always align with what our daughter truly requires.

Our advice is to seek out lists published by the college itself or consult other parents whose children attend the same institution. If you can connect with a parent whose child resided in the same dorm as yours will, that’s a bonus!

The following items are essential based on what our current college student possesses and utilizes regularly. We hope this list aids you in economizing on college essentials during Amazon Prime Day.

1. LUCID 3” VENTILATED MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS TOPPER (PRIME DAY PRICE $49.56, $33 SAVINGS)
While college campuses have seen many advancements since our time as students, mattresses have remained relatively unchanged. Help your student get the rest they need by investing in a memory foam mattress topper. We purchased one and had it delivered to school before the semester began, and it has made a significant difference!

2. AMAZON BASICS 6 PIECE TOWEL SET (PRIME DAY PRICE $13.99, 20% SAVINGS)
This 6-piece set includes 2 washcloths, 2 hand towels, and 2 bath towels—everything your student will require for the year, at a 20% discount from the regular price.

3. AMAZON BASICS EXTRA LONG SHEET SET (CURRENTLY $19.74)
Considering Amazon often offers discounts on their Amazon Basics products, it’s highly likely that their sheet sets will also be on sale over the next two days. Cross one more item off your list by adding a set to your cart.

4. APPLE AIRTAG 4 PACK (PRIME DAY PRICE $89.99, $10 SAVINGS)
College students can never have too many AirTags! They’re perfect for attaching to keys, slipping inside backpacks, affixing to skateboards, or securing inside luggage when traveling to and from school. AirTags assist your college student in keeping track of their belongings and are well worth the investment. Don’t forget to include keychain holders for your AirTags in your cart. There’s no shortage of holders available, whether you’re seeking single or multi-packs during Prime Day.

5. APPLE IPAD – 9TH GENERATION, 64 GB (PRIME DAY PRICE $279, 15% SAVINGS)
My daughter entered college with the laptop she used in high school but soon realized she needed an iPad to tackle complex equations for her STEM coursework. We also provided her with an Apple Pencil, Speck iPad case, and PaperFeel screen protectors to reduce glare.

6. APPLE AIR PODS PRO – 2ND GENERATION (PRIME DAY PRICE $199, $50 SAVINGS)
AirPods are invaluable for helping students maintain focus while studying in their dorm room, the library, or other communal spaces that can be distracting.

7. HONEYWELL HPA100 HEPA AIR PURIFIER (PRIME DAY PRICE $99, $55 SAVINGS)
An air purifier is a tremendous asset in reducing allergens, dust, smoke, and other particles that infiltrate your student’s dorm room and could adversely affect their health. While you’re at it, consider adding extra replacement filters to your cart since your student should replace them every 3 months.

8. LEVOIT 2.4L HUMIDIFIER (PRIME DAY PRICE $29.93, $10 SAVINGS)
Teens heading to arid climates or high-altitude cities will benefit from a humidifier, which adds much-needed moisture to the air. A humidifier can enhance the comfort of a room and improve sleep quality at higher altitudes. The Levoit 2.4L Humidifier is an ideal size and price for a dorm room.

9. ECHO DOT (PRIME DAY PRICE $29.99, SAVE $30)
This sleek, compact Echo Dot fits seamlessly in a small dorm room and serves as a digital assistant to help your college student stay organized. The improved LED display provides a quick view of the

time, alarms, weather, song titles, and more.

10. KEURIG K-MINI SINGLE-SERVE COFFEE MAKER (PRIME DAY PRICE $59.99, SAVE $20 AND APPLY THE $20 COUPON FOR THIS PRICE)
Early morning classes and late-night study sessions demand the convenience of an in-room Keurig. This model is perfect for dorm rooms due to its compact size. Consider adding a Lazy Susan-style organizer to keep K-Cups neatly arranged.

While you search for significant savings on college essentials during Amazon Prime Day, our current college student also recommends including the following items in your shopping cart:

  • Lysol Wipes
  • Scissors
  • Tape

SUITE AND APARTMENT ESSENTIALS
If your college student is residing in a suite or prefers to have their personal set of belongings, now is the ideal moment to save on college essentials during Amazon Prime Day. If they’re moving into an apartment, coordinate with suite or housemates to determine who will bring what before making any purchases.

This summer, our daughter relocated to a different dorm with a shared kitchen while she resides on campus and engages in summer research. Uncertain about the dorm’s kitchen facilities, I procured some kitchen essentials.

11. AMAZON BASICS COLOR-CODED KITCHEN KNIFE SET (PRIME DAY PRICE $13.56, SAVE 25%)
This 12-piece color-coded knife set includes 6 knives with matching knife covers: paring knife, utility knife, Santoku knife, carving knife, chef’s knife, and bread knife. It’s an excellent starter set for college use and beyond.

12. AMAZON BASICS 3 PIECE NONSTICK FRYING PAN SET (PRIME DAY PRICE $19.12, SAVE $14)
This set encompasses 8-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch frying pans made of aluminum. They feature a non-stick coating for effortless cooking and cleaning, and their soft-touch handles remain cool during use.

13. NONSTICK HEAT-RESISTANT SILICONE SPATULA SET (PRIME DAY PRICE $11.99, SAVE $10)
This set includes 1 small spatula, 1 large spatula, 1 jar spatula, 1 small spoon spatula, 1 large spoon spatula, and 1 basting brush.

Stay on the lookout for substantial discounts on stick vacuums over the next couple of days. We’ve heard that a Bissell Stick Model vacuum will be on sale, but we haven’t confirmed the model and price. We’ll update this post once we have more information.
