After months of waiting, Amazon Prime Day is finally here–and it's arguably the e-tailer's biggest sale yet. Now through Friday (yes, Friday), the Everything Store has unbelievably epic discounts on everything from air fryer to affordable, game-changing tools. But are they actually too good to be true?
As editors who spend our days scanning the web for the best deals, we approach most big sales with a healthy dose of skepticism. We mean, it's easy for a retailer to call its own sale the biggest, best one yet, but is it really? However, when we crunched the numbers, it turns out there are a bunch of Prime Day deals that are actually cheaper than Costco. It's no secret that Costco is *the* place to go for budget-friendly bulk items and well-priced essentials, so finding items that are cheaper than the wholesaler's rates is huge.
To help you walk away with the very best bargains, we compared Amazon and Costco's offerings to find the top Prime Day deals worth adding to your cart. Since Costco is known for selling large quantities for a fair, affordable price, we compared quantities to ensure you're actually getting the best value. But hurry: Whether you're stocking up on pantry essentials or want to refresh your cooking tools, we have a feeling these deals will fly off the virtual shelves. On your mark, get set shop!
HENCKELS Premium Quality 15-Piece Knife Set with Block
No kitchen is complete without a knife set, which makes this option from Henckels a no-brainer. The brand is known for making high-quality, reasonably-priced knives—and this 15-piece set has something for all your slicing and dicing needs. Plus, it's about $15 less than the Henckels set Costco sells.
Here's your sign to replace those dirty baking sheets. (Especially the ones covered in charred crumbs, regardless of how much you scrub!) HongBake's anti-warping ceramic set looks good and can withstand up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Sure, this trio might only be a dollar cheaper than Costco's version, but still: A deal's a deal!
Need an early-morning pick-me-up? Simply pop one of Peet's Coffee pods into your Keurig machine and you'll have an instant jolt of java. On sale for under $30, this option is a few dollars less than the Starbucks coffee pods you can buy at Costco.
If a cup of tea is more your speed, grab a box of HandPick's elixir. Not only is the certified organic green tea sourced from the Himalayan Mountains, but each batch is encased in an eco-friendly tea bag. Oh, and did we mention it's a few dollars cheaper than Kirkland's green tea?
Take your hydration game up a couple of notches with a Brita. This filtered pitcher can remove nasty odors, tastes, and heavy metals like lead, mercury, and chlorine. Costco's listing comes with an extra filter, but it's $20 more. And you can buy three extra filters on Amazon for $18.
Behind every clean plate is a high-powered dish soap that can eradicate even the most stubborn food particles. Seven Generation's formula is strong, eco-conscious, and on sale. Technically, Costco's solution is a dollar less; however, Amazon's listing gives you an extra 24 ounces of dish soap. Translation: If you're looking for the best value, Amazon can't be beat.
While you're at it, you might as well pick up a few sponges. Aidea's 24-pack is designed to be tough on stains without scratching your precious plates. Plus, they're half the price of Costco's 24-pack of Scotch-Brite sponges.
Aluminum foil is one of those everyday essentials you never think to buy—but are desperate for when you're fresh out. So why not get this 350-square-foot bundle while it's on sale for about $14? That's more foil for less money than Costco's offering.
Listen, not every occasion calls for your fancy china. Whether you're throwing a party for your little ones or hosting outdoors, paper plates are just fine. In fact, this option from Amazon Basics is microwave-safe, soak-proof, and cut-resistant, which means they'll hold up nicely.
On sale for about $10, you can buy two 150-plate bundle and still have spent less money than Costco's 165-plate deal.
Munching on the go? Store nuts, pretzels, and dried fruit in one of Amazon Basics's resealable storage baggies. Right now, you can buy the e-tailer's 300-count pack for just under $6. Compared to Costco's 480-count pack—which is available for just under $12—Amazon's deal offers a far better value.
We love paper towels as much as the next person, but if you're looking for an eco-friendly alternative, try HomeXcel's Swedish dishcloths. These reusable, machine-washable rags come in a set of 20, so you can use them for a long time. More cloths for less money? Consider us sold.
Avid meal preppers will find a lot to love about this 40-piece food storage set Amazon is selling for under $20. Made of BPA-free plastic, this bundle has containers of all shapes and sizes, so there's bound to be something to hold your next dish. Bonus points: It's about six dollars cheaper than Costco's 38-piece food storage kit.
