Want to save money on daily household essentials or basic stuff so you have more money to buy the things that matter, like gifts for the friends and families around you? Well, I've been on track to save money for a while, and one of my top retailers for saving money on products is actually Amazon! However, not just anything on Amazon; Amazon brands.
"Wait, Kaze, how is it cheaper to have things delivered to your house than for you to drive and buy them from a retail store?" a random person asks.
Well, you have to look at Amazon the same way many look at Costco. Free delivery comes with Prime, and Prime memberships are like Costco Memberships, an upfront cost that allows you to save more than the cost over time after using their services. In simpler words, you will get your money's worth back through savings after shopping with them for some time.
At the moment, Amazon Prime costs $14.99 a month and $139 a year.
However, I am assuming that if you opened this blog, you likely already have it. This post mainly benefits people who already have Amazon Prime for other reasons and want to save money. For example, Amazon Prime is perfect for buying gifts for people so that you might buy it, and while you're at it, you might as well save on other things. If you plan to purchase Amazon Prime solely because I said it can save you money on daily essentials, then buy a lot of it, similar to how you shop at Costco in bulk.
Alright, I'll start naming and describing the Amazon brands, and you keep on reading so you can learn how to save with Amazon!
Amazon Brand 1: Amazon Basics
Amazon Basics has fitness, kitchen equipment, bathroom items, bedroom items, outdoor products, and daily essentials (daily living). You will find your most significant savings under daily essentials, but you can also find savings in their other categories. Now, I suggest that if you want to save the most using this brand, you buy things that you will use a lot of in bigger sizes, which is a given. However, the kicker about this Amazon brand is that their products are usually cheaper than brand-name alternatives and would even be more affordable than local stores.
I give you an example, I was recently in need of fluoride mouthwash. The cheapest in my area would be Target, and 33.8 fl oz of Listerine mouthwash is $8.99. However, I found one on Amazon Basics that was cheaper. You can buy two 33.8 fl oz from Amazon for $9.50. You would save $4.25 per fluoride mouthwash by using this price. That is a significant saving, and it isn't the only one. You find many savings by scrolling through Amazon's basic daily living options, such as dishwasher pods, dishwasher rinse aids, toilet cleaners, hand soap, contact solutions, and more. I suggest that my friends always look through Amazon Basics for their household needs.
The best part is that you save time and gas while lowering the price of the product. So you save significantly more money than you originally thought and have it delivered straight to your door!
I find their other sections to be pretty reasonable prices. Fitness appears to be around the regular price, not higher or lower, which is expected since weights are taken into account from shipping. However, everything else seems to be at least slightly cheaper than the majority of local stores' costs. I suggest that anyone look at Amazon before going out because they can save a lot of money by using Amazon. Take advantage of it!
Amazon Brand 2: Happy Belly
I named this brand the second because I love coffee, and Happy Belly has excellent prices on coffees that you can't beat. For example, I found the happy belly cost of K-cup to be significantly cheaper than those you see at most stores. I recently bought a 100-pack of dark roast Happy Belly coffee pods for $33, while Starbucks 44 cups are $30.99 at Target, and Maxwell 60 packs are $30 at Kohl. You will see that you get significantly more coffee at a lower price than other brands simply by buying the coffee from an Amazon brand on Amazon. On top of that, the brand is delicious, and I would argue that it is of similar quality to their alternatives.
Happy Belly sells snacks and other beverages, like coconut water, nicely shipped to your front door. The prices of these products are great, and you can get discounts for subscribing, as big as 25% off, depending on the product. They sell all sorts of nuts, including almonds, at low prices. They also sell bakery essentials such as vanilla extract. Look at their store using the link above; I'm sure there is something perfect for your kitchen that you won't regret.
Amazon Brand 3: Amazon Essentials
Are you in need of clothes, well Amazon have a brand for that. You can find simple clothes on Amazon Essentials to match your style and bring out your best looks. I suggest going to Amazon Essentials for gift shopping or even buying clothes if you are big on style. They have a lot of stylish clothes at reasonable prices. For example, denim jackets are usually found for $70 at local stores, and you can find them for $40 at Amazon Essentials. I also would recommend taking a look at their totes and bags. They have beautifully made it without the extreme cost of hundreds of dollars, which is worth it for anyone wanting to hold their things for style or buying them for someone as a Christmas gift.
Amazon Essentials also has many clothes deals, so if it was already cheap, you could get it even cheaper. They have belts, shoes, shirts, hoodies, jackets, sweaters, pants, and more at great, reasonable prices. It's definitely worth checking out!
Amazon brand 4: Amazon Elements

Do you buy vitamans or just had a child who need wipes? Well, this brand will be more than your best friend; it will be your heart. Amazon Elements has vitamins at prices that you can't beat going to your local pharmacy. Not only are the Vitamons cheaper, but they are likely bigger in quantity than the ones you get at your regular, expensive pharmacy. For example, 195 5 mg tablets of melatonin is only $9, which is usually over $10 (10-25 depending on the brand) in cost. You can see that it is cheaper, and once again, it is delivered straight to your door. You don't have to go out to buy your vitamins, and since you can subscribe to Amazon products, you will never run out.
You can also look at all the fantastic reviews of this brand. People are greatly satisfied with the quality and quantity of their wipes, which they trust to be used on their children. They have scented, unscented, and sensitive wipes to match the needs of your babies and do it at a very reasonable price. You can buy 810 wipes for around $20 at Amazon, something that you can't ignore if you have a child in need of constant attention.
Go ahead, take a look at the brand using the link above!
Other Amazon Brands: Solimo, Pinzon, Wickedly Prime, etc
You can find a list of Amazon brands and their descriptions at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Amazon_brands.
I suggest looking at the active brands on Amazon because they are likely to have cheaper deals on their products than other brands. You have to treat amazon like you would treat a store when buying cheaper products, their brands is cheaper. Similar to how Target brands are cheaper in Target and Walmart brands are cheaper in Walmart, amazon brands are cheaper on Amazon. Some of their brands have restrictions depending on your location, and some are only available in certain countries, so keep that in mind if you can't find any of the brands I listed in the heading. Still, take the time to look at some of the brands and see if you can find a deal; it doesn't hurt to look!

"Save to spend on the holidays! How ironic!" - Survival Wolves Official Team
Although I sometimes want to support brick and mortar stores, it can be much cheaper and easier online… Surprisingly, I found a pair of shoes a couple of years ago from I think the Amazon essentials brand; and they’ve been through so much! I’ve worn them almost every day for the last year.
