Sam has covered every Amazon sale for the Strategist the past two and a half years, so she knows when a deal is truly a good one (and when Amazon is just inflating the original price to make it seem like a better discount). Armed with that knowledge, she scrolled through the thousands of items on sale to find the 160-plus best Amazon Spring Sale deals. Of all of those, her top three are: three Squishmallows for $7, a steal on the popular toy; four Stasher food-storage bags for $46, as Stasher bundles rarely go on sale; and the ever-popular Bissell carpet cleaner for $100.

Rachael, one of our Strategist Beauty Brief contributors, took a spin through the beauty section of the sale and was surprised to find that some of the deals are even better than what we saw on Black Friday. Revlon’s One-Step styler, our favorite affordable blow-dryer brush, is half off, making it just $35. CosRX’s “slimy, snail-mucin-y” moisturizer (a Strategist-reader favorite) is 39 percent off. And Starface’s cute-enough-to-wear-outside pimple patches are drugstore price right now — “the perfect time to stock up,” Rachael says. See all of Rachael’s favorite Spring Sale beauty deals here.

Jordan has tested truly hundreds of tech products in his eight years covering the technology space, and his top three deals are all on products he’s tested and stands by. Two — the Apple Watch Series 10 (our best smartwatch for iOS users) and the Kindle Scribe (Amazon’s stylus-friendly e-reader) — are down to their lowest prices ever. The other, Bose’s QuietComfort Ultra headphones, recently earned the top spot in McMahon’s list of the best noise-canceling headphones and are 19 percent off. For all his top picks, see his roundup of the best Amazon Spring Sale tech deals.

Liza knows a good toy when she sees one. She’s been covering the kids’ and toy space for years, and she’s written all of our gift guides for kids of every age. So she can quickly scroll through pages of on-sale toys and kids’ gear and tell you which ones are actually worth your time — like the Yoto player, currently 20 percent off. “Yoto players rarely go on sale, so while it’s not the biggest discount, it is the first thing I would recommend buying before stock runs out,” Liza says. LEGO flowers are perennially popular with both kids and adults, so it’s worth grabbing the sunflower kit that’s nearly half off right now. And the Playmobil fire truck, now 40 percent off, would delight any kid with its realism. For more, see all her top Spring Deal toys picks.

“The best time to buy Mrs. Meyer’s hand soaps (in bulk) is an Amazon sale,” Sam says, and right now you can get three bottles for $4 each. In other boring-things-on-sale news, our favorite teeth-whitening strips are $30 right now. That’s just about the lowest they ever go, so get them now if you need a restock. And if you, too, get stuffed up overnight, Sam likes these nasal strips, which are $8 off. For all of Sam’s top household-essential picks, see her roundup.

The theme of the sale is spring, so unsurprisingly, there are a lot of decent spring-cleaning deals. Alexandra sifted through them all to find the two dozen best, mostly on items we’ve written about. Her favorites: A no-rinse laundry soap that’s way cheaper than dry cleaning; “the only mop you’ll ever need,” according to a cleaning pro; and the Dyson air purifier I own and love (and think is worth the expense).

There several big discounts on expensive items in Amazon’s Spring Sale, but you don’t have to break the bank to get a good deal. Alexandra combed through the sale to find the best deals on items that cost $50 or less. Her favorites: Heritage Store Castor Oil, which she uses on her 4C hair multiple times a week; the Calvin Klein bralette “that defined the 2010s” and is now just $17; and the collagen masks that are the product du jour of “morning shed” TikTok.
