The 14 Best Kitchen Items You Need to Buy on Amazon Prime Day

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Georgetown chapter.

July 11 is Amazon Prime Day, and it’s like Christmas (but better). If you’re not familiar, Prime Day is basically a flash sale on everything from home goods and electronics to beauty products and clothes, and everything in between. So get ready, because you have to be quick to click and save.

Amazon releases new items to the sale every five minutes for 30 hours — starting tonight at 9 pm EST to July 12, 3 am EST. You gotta pay attention and hop on fast because the deals are so amazing, they often sell out.

Here are some of the best food and kitchen related items you need to check out on Amazon Prime Day.

Haribo Gummy Bears (3 Pound Bag)

I know this sounds aggressive, but you’re gonna need 3 lbs. of gummy bears at some point in your life. Imagine how many vodka gummies you could make with this gummy goodness.

Dash Mini Maker Grill

I drunkenly bought this, and I have no regrets. It makes quality waffles, paninis, and other pressed items. It’s literally #goals. 

Simple Chef Spiralizer

If you are obsessed with zoodles but don’t know how to get them, the spiralizer is the simplest way to make ’em. It also can be used as a mandoline, juicer, grater, and slicer, so it’s basically everything you need in one. 

Justin’s Peanut Butter Squeeze Packs

These babies are perfect for when you’re on the go but still want to keep up your protein. They taste amazing with fruit, granola bars, and toast (also solo with a spoon, no judgement). 

Peanut Butter & Co. Top Sellers Pack

If small peanut butter packets are not enough, get four jars of gourmet peanut butter from Peanut Butter & Co. I legit live on Dark Chocolate Dreams, but all of these flavors are bomb. 

Black + Decker Coffeemaker

Get this for your dorm and save so much money. Those daily Starbucks trips really add up, and who doesn’t love coffee in bed. 

Crazy Cups Flavored K Cups 

For your new coffee machine, try out these fun K Cups. Flavors include Death by Chocolate, Bananas Foster Flambe, Oatmeal Cookie, and Chocolate Coconut Dream — they’re sure to be a sweet treat in the morning.

Stemless Plastic Wine Glass

This 16 oz wine glass is perfect for your “Bachelorette” viewing parties (and to express major sad-girl vibes after a shitty day). My glass will often be at “Do NOT Ask!” levels.

Anjou Coconut Oil

I know that coconut oil is starting to reach intense saturation levels — it’s everywhere! But it’s a necessary purchase. You can use it for cooking, moisturizing, massaging, and more. 

Chef’n Avoquado 4-in-1 Tool

I am so bad at cutting avocados, so I will definitely be picking this up. It’s a 4-in-1 tool that helps you cut, pit, slice, and scoop avocados, so you’ll always have the perfect avo toast

Matcha Green Tea Powder

Jessica Yeh

Embrace your inner basic and drink some matcha. The reviews are also amazing, with Amazon reviewers describing it “as close to a ‘wonder supplement’ as I can think of” with “fresh, clean, [and] high quality taste.”

Dash Greek Yogurt Maker

I currently have a major addiction to greek yogurt (thanks Fage flips for changing my snack game forever), and this yogurt maker makes my love even more accessible. It’s super easy to use, and it sounds bougie af to make your own yogurt. 

Quaker Instant Oatmeal 

Oatmeal is perfect for when you can barely get out of bed in the morning. It’s quick, easy, and yummy. Also, it is super easy to store, so why not stock up on Amazon?

Freshware Bento Lunch Boxes

This will finally motivate you to meal prep — it has separate compartments, is microwavable, and is dishwasher safe. 

It’s almost 9 pm, so get ready to celebrate Amazon Prime Day in style and stock your kitchen. I have a feeling my kitchen is about to be filled with things I never knew I needed, and I’ll be eating a lot of homemade Greek yogurt.
