Amazon Big Deal Days are here, and there are some great Prime Day pantry deals you should be taking advantage of. How you shop the Prime Day kitchen deals offered during the epic fall sale is a matter of personal preference. Maybe you want to snag a piece of Le Creuset cookware at a steep discount, or you’re finally going to buy the espresso machine you’ve been eyeing for months. There are tons of things you can buy to upgrade your kitchen for $25 or less, including this weird-looking citrus juicer that’s actually kind of amazing.
Me? I use Prime Day as an opportunity to restock my pantry on a budget. Because while you can never have too many sponges and a new vacuum is always a good idea, there are a ton of pantry staples you can stock up on for a fraction of their usual price. If you, like me, have a serious tinned fish habit, most of Fishwife’s cult-favorite products are currently on sale for 20% off. Do I have your attention? Good. Because you can also buy our favorite condiments, instant noodles, and weeknight dinner shortcuts at serious discounts.
Fishwife Tinned Fish
Tinned fish isn’t a trend, it’s a lifestyle, and we are unabashedly obsessed with Fishwife’s wares. Stock up on a seven-tin starter pack that comes with one of everything or pick a three-pack of your favorite. I love keeping Cantabrian anchovies on hand to add a burst of flavor to pastas and salads.
Heilala Vanilla
We’re extremely loyal to Heilala’s vanilla products, which are the single easiest way to take your homemade baked goods from amateur to professional status. The brand also happens to have one of the best Prime Day pantry deals on offer this fall. I keep both their vanilla bean paste and pure vanilla extract on hand at all times, but it’s an especially good idea to restock before holiday baking season.
Goodles Mac and Cheese
If you’re nostalgic for boxed macaroni and cheese but want an option that has more flavor and fewer unpronounceable ingredients, Goodles has your back. Its Cheddy Mac is what you always wanted that blue box to taste like, but it also has flavors like Mover & Shaker, a cacio e pepe–inspired option, as well as vegan and gluten-free versions of the classic cheddar.
Ghia Ghianduja Crunch Hazelnut Spread
Several BA editors (present company included) have been known to eat Ghia’s crunchy hazelnut-chocolate spread straight from the jar. You can use it for other things, too, like swirling into cookie dough or drizzling over a bowl of yogurt and granola—which is why it’s handy that the 2-pack is on sale.
The Best At-Home Chai Latte
There’s no reason to spend $7 on a chai latte at a coffee shop now that the Minor Figures Barista Chai Concentrate exists. It’s currently on sale (and so is the brand’s organic barista-grade oat milk), so you’ll save a ton of money in the long run by stocking up. The concentrate is heavy on warming spices and light on sweetener, and it makes a perfectly creamy hot or iced beverage when mixed with the Minor Figures’ oat milk.
Fun Drinks
While the jury is still out on whether or not prebiotic soda actually does anything for gut health, it’s undoubtedly better for you than drinking regular soda. This variety pack comes with crowd-pleasing flavors like Wild Berry and Lemon Lime. You can also get deals on Recess’s mood-boosting sparkling drinks and Ghia’s fizzy canned mocktails.
Fly By Jing Variety Pack
If there’s one condiment we always want to have on hand, it’s Fly By Jing’s chili crisps. This variety pack conveniently comes with our three favorites—Zhong sauce, Sichuan Chili Crisp, and Chengdu Crunch—so we aren't required to tell you which one we like best.
Instant Noodles
When you need a quick, satisfying meal that’s ready in minutes, it’s hard to beat instant noodles. Omsom, the brand behind these sauce starters that we love, also makes some exceptionally good noods. They come in flavors like coconut-lemongrass curry and chili sesame that will make you forget you even have a delivery app on your phone. We also love Momofuku’s instant noodles. They’re air-dried instead of fried, which results in a superior texture that’s extra slurpable.
Hot Sauce
Whether you’re “a hot sauce on eggs” person or “a hot sauce in your tote bag so you can put it on everything, everywhere” person, you’ll probably want to grab a few bottles during Prime Day so you never have to worry about running out.
Brightland Olive Oil
It’s no secret that we love Brightland’s olive oil, and we’re in good company. It’s Artist’s Capsule collection is one of Oprah’s favorite things. It comes with Brightland’s high-quality olive oil in four pretty bottles, each one infused with a different flavor: lemon, chili, garlic, and basil.
Maille Mustard Variety Pack
Maille has been making mustard since the 1700s, so it’s safe to say the French brand knows what it’s doing. This variety pack comes with Maille’s Old Style, Dijon, Rich Country, and Honey Dijon varieties to meet all of your mustard needs.
Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue Sauce
We put Bachan’s original Japanese Barbecue Sauce on just about everything. It’s a stellar condiment in its own right, but Bachan’s also works well as a marinade for meats and tofu, a base for salad dressings, and for whatever else you can dream up. This variety pack comes with the original flavor as well as the yuzu, miso, hot, and sweet honey options.
Throat Coat Tea
With cold and flu season on the way, Throat Coat Tea is a must-have. Made with potent botanicals like licorice root and slippery elm, it’s a game changer for those days when you need some serious soothing.
Saltverk Gift Set
You could give this Saltverk gift set to someone as a present over the holidays, but I keep all four of these sea salt varieties out on my kitchen counter at all times.
Spam Teriyaki 12-Pack
If you want to make Spam musubi (or these retro Spam and Brie bites) you need Spam. We love the smoky-sweet teriyaki flavor for its versatility, and the fact that it makes its own sauce when you fry it up. Other great ways to use it? Spam and egg sandwiches, onigiri, Spam and macaroni soup…your 12-pack will be gone in no time.
