There’s almost nothing more satisfying than scoring a good deal, but it’s a time-consuming effort that requires comparison shopping, keeping an eye on sale days, and (of course) cruising around your neighborhood for garage sales. And let’s be honest, oftentimes, it’s just not possible to put that much time and energy into buying something. To make things easy, I’ve put together a list of total bargains on Amazon — all of which can land on your doorstep in two days flat, thanks to Prime membership.

And getting everything you need in one spot doesn’t just save time, it also saves money on shipping (which is free with Amazon Prime), making the whole shopping experience a bargain in and of itself.

To whet your shopping appetite, here are a few highlights to come: a pair of highly rated Bluetooth earbuds that are under $30, a UV phone sanitizer that won’t even begin to put a dent in your wallet, and some super affordable TikTok-famous leggings that you’re guranteed to wear just about every day.
