Amazon’s Everyday Essentials Week sale is packed with discounts on groceries and household staples – but we sniffed around the deals page to find the bargains genuinely worth your money.
Amazon has launched its Everyday Essentials Week sale, promising huge savings on everything from baked beans and juice cartons to washing pods and kitchen roll.
But let’s be honest. Amazon sales are now so constant that plenty of the “discounts” barely move the needle.
So we sniffed around the deals page to see if any of the offers are genuinely worth the hype.
And surprisingly, a few really are.
One thing shoppers should watch closely is delivery costs. Prime members will get free delivery on eligible products, but non-Prime customers may need to pay extra depending on basket size and order value, which can quickly wipe out smaller savings.
Ariel Platinum washing pods 132ct now £27.11, was £45
This giant 132-pod Ariel bundle works out at around 21p per wash and undercuts Tesco by roughly a fiver for the equivalent amount. CamelCamelCamel price tracking also shows the pods were selling for around £32 only days ago, meaning this looks like a proper price drop rather than one of those permanently “discounted” prices.

Heinz baked beans 12-pack now £8.99, was £16.80
Beans are serious business in British cupboards and this deal works out at roughly 75p a tin. Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Iceland are all charging more proportionally for smaller multipacks, and this specific 12-pack configuration also appears difficult to find elsewhere right now.

Regina Blitz kitchen roll 12-pack now £16, was £30
Kitchen roll has become one of those painfully expensive household basics people resent buying. This Regina Blitz bundle cuts the cost to around £1.33 per roll and CamelCamelCamel tracking suggests it is sitting at one of its lowest Amazon prices in years. More than 10,000 packs were bought last month alone.

Ribena strawberry juice cartons 24-pack now £6.29, was £19.20
This one genuinely stood out. Amazon’s price works out at around 26p per carton and even Costco is currently charging £9.99 for the same 24-pack. CamelCamelCamel tracking shows it is also close to the cheapest Amazon has sold the multipack for in recent years.

Amazon’s Everyday Essentials Week runs until 11.59pm on Tuesday May 19, although some deals could disappear earlier if stock starts running low.
