It’s that time of year again: Amazon Prime Day is back and longer than usual. This year (like last year), the sales event is a whopping four days long, so if you’ve been adding pretty much anything you like to your cart hoping it will go on sale at some point over the four-day event, now is your chance to finally pull the trigger. To make matters even more enticing, we headed over to our other favorite spot to save, Costco, to find out which of the two massive retailers is offering the better deals, and we’re pleased to announce that, at least for these four days in June, it’s Amazon. This year, Prime Day will start on June 23 and conclude on the 26th.
So, if you have an ever-growing cart of essentials you aren’t willing to pay full price, you’ve waited for the perfect moment to save a lot—especially if you normally opt for Costco. Prime Day hasn’t technically started yet, but plenty of our top picks are already discounted and cheaper than Costco.
A down comforter is the ultimate luxury, so it is our personal opinion that finding one you love on sale is the move. This one may not be cheap (it’s $160, down from $180 for a king size) at Amazon, but it’s a whopping $200 for a twin size at Costco. Trust us; snag the Amazon one and sleep soundly tonight and every night.
Keep your inner circle close by with the help of a digital frame. As long as you have a Bluetooth connection, you can rotate through pictures of your friends, family members, dogs, and treasured moments. Bonus points: This 10-inch version is half the price of the Carver Stone you can buy at Costco.
Want to get a head start on your holiday decorating? Amazon's offering steep discounts on a bunch of seasonal decor. Clocking in at nine feet tall, this pre-lit faux Aspen tree is bound to get you in the holiday spirit in no time. To sweeten the offer, it's over 50 percent less than what you can buy at Costco.
Looking for a bright idea? Reach for Linkind's smart bulbs, which are two dollars cheaper than Costco's lights. With the help of an accompanying app, you can turn your lights on, off, or choose a fun color. Get your glow on—and save a couple bucks in the process.
Never worry about leaving a candle lit again with the help of this warmer. Instead of lighting a match, this pick offers a flame-free way to warm up a candle, melt your wax, and emit that gorgeous scent. This particular candle warmer is on sale for under $28, making it cheaper than Costco's alternative.
Down pillows are as luxurious as pillows get, so when we found a set of two for under $100, you bet we added them to our cart. To ensure we were getting the best possible deal, we also consulted Costco's inventory of down pillows and were less than impressed. On Costco's site, just one down pillow costs over $100.
Say goodbye to mess with Seventh Generation's all-purpose cleaner. This eco-friendly, fragrance-free formula promises to cut through grease and spills, leaving behind only a pleasant lemon-chamomile scent. At nearly $13 for four 23-ounce bottles, this option actually gives you more for less than the sustainable option Costco has on its site.
Speaking of cleaning, now's a good time to pick up some microfiber cloths. These tiny towels do an excellent job of picking up curbs and spills—not to mention they're reusable, making them a solid choice for anyone who wants to reduce waste. While Costco sells an eight-pack of microfiber kitchen towels for $10, you can purchase a dozen for only $6 on Amazon.
Hydrate your lips for less with this fruity bundle from Soulsation. While this eight-pack option has one less balm than the Eos bundle you can buy at Costco, it's way cheaper. That way, you can buy two, eight-balm sets for less than the price of one at Costco.
Stay hydrated with clean, impurity-free water, thanks to Brita's beloved water pitcher. Large enough to hold up to 10 cups of water, this pick comes with a replacement filter to provide a clean and safe sip. Not sure when you swap out a filter? A smart light will do all the legwork for you. Though Costco's version comes with two replacement filters, Amazon's deal $8 cheaper.
Another thing to note? The Everything Store has a big sale on Brita's replacement filters. You can snag this pitcher and a total of three replacement filters for only $4 more than Costco's two-filter alternative. In other words? Better bang for your buck at Amazon.
Write this down: Amazon's having a stealth sale on Pilot's gel roller pens. Since this 12-pack is available for under $12, you can buy two of them for about the price of the 20-pack set Costco sells—and walk away with a few more pens.
Speaking of which, you might as well buy something to write on, too. While both Costco and Amazon sell a 24-pack of 100 sticky sheets, the Everything Store's version is currently $7 less.
Want to add some extra oomph to your cleaning product spree? You can pick up a 24-pack of heavy-duty sponges for $17 on Amazon, which is less than the one you can buy through Costco. Not only are these absorbent sponges designed to be quick-drying and compatible with a wide range of surfaces, but they also feature an ergonomic S-shape for an easy grip.
Come morning, put a pep into your step with a jolt of java. Thanks to its easy-to-use design, getting your caffeine fix can be as easy as popping one of these pods into your Keurig machine. Currently, you can purchase an 80-piece variety pack of Victor Allen's Coffee pods, which includes varieties such as Morning Blend, Donut Shop, 100% Colombian, and Italian Roast, for less than the Caribou Coffee ones at Costco.
Yes, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days offerings are so good that you can even save a few bucks on Colgate's Optic White toothpaste. Designed for those who want brighter teeth, this popular paste is formulated to combat stains. Amazon's listing is only a few cents cheaper than Costco's, but still: A deal's a deal.
During Prime Day, you can purchase this 40-piece food storage set on Amazon for a few dollars less than Snapware's 38-piece set on Costco. In other words, avid meal preppers will find the best value in Amazon's offering. Made with BPA-free plastic, this leak-proof option is safe for use in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Dig in!
If you want to slice and dice your food without spending a small fortune, Ninja's got you covered. Not only does this 17-piece set have virtually every knife you can think of—plus a built-in sharpener to keep your blades in tip-top shape—but it also comes with a convenient block to stow your blades. Bonus points: It's cheaper than the 17-piece set Costco sells.
Compared to Softsoap's 160-ounce refill package at Costco, this option may not seem like an excellent deal—but, trust us, it is. At $4 for 50 ounces, you can buy four bottles for $16. Sure, you might spend $3 more at Amazon, but you'll get an extra 40 ounces of hand soap. Now that's what we call value.
Give your houseplants some TLC—and save some money in the process. You can bring three, eight-quart packs of indoor potting mix, which will be cheaper than the one Costco's selling. And if you weren't sold on price alone, Miracle-Gro's soil is packed with nutrients and a natural, fast-acting fertilizer to help your leafy greens thrive.
