But one perk you might not know about? VIP access to secret sales, thanks to a Prime-exclusive portal that spans several categories. That's right — there's an entire secret section packed with special deals that only Prime members can shop.
If you've yet to unlock this hidden hub, we've rounded up 11 steals to get you on your way. Keep scrolling for the best deals you're likely to see at Amazon (or anywhere else).
A Yahoo reader favorite, this top-selling five-piece shower set with over 24,000 five-star fans can keep your body washes, shampoos, soaps, sponges and toothbrushes organized and easily accessible. It sticks on in a snap and since it's made of rustproof stainless steel, it should remain shiny and new for as long as you own it.
"The installation process was incredibly easy and required no drilling," one impressed reviewer wrote. "The adhesive is strong and holds the caddies securely in place, even when loaded with heavy items."
When 10,000 shoppers rave about affordable earbuds, we perk up —especially when it's a top-rated wireless pair with 40 hours of playtime per charge. They're already marked down for Prime members, but an on-page coupon makes the sweet deal even sweeter — you'll save over 50%.
"They've blown me away!" said one active listener. "The battery life is fantastic, lasting for hours on end. Phone conversations are crystal clear, making it easy to communicate."
Always chilly? Don't spend extra on an airplane blanket that may or may not be clean. This popular travel throw, which doubles as a pillow, is incredibly soft and warm and zips up to clip onto your luggage handle.
"I am a flight attendant and I got this as a gift and it's the best!" one professional traveler wrote. "The material is very durable. It's so soft and fluffy, yet I can still fold it into a small pillow."
Need a simple bedside alarm clock that's easy to read, both up close and from afar? This top-seller with over 18,000 five-star ratings will only run you $15 if you're a Prime member. You get a lot for the price: five dimming settings, two volumes and the ability to charge your phone — score!
"In a world where we have watches and phones, I still like to turn over and see the time displayed on my nightstand," one five-star reviewer wrote. "It doesn't take up a lot of space and the light is bright, but not too bright. And the numbers are large enough to read without straining my eyes!"
Running out of outlets is super annoying, but a surge protector power strip can save the day. This popular version with 23,000+ fans singing its praises packs in eight widely spread outlets and four USB ports, allowing you to use several gadgets at once. Grab it now while it's over 40% off for Prime members.
"The length of the cord is perfect," one five-star reviewer wrote. "It gives me plenty of flexibility to reach distant outlets without cluttering the area."
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and if you want to ensure that your bird is neither dry nor undercooked, invest in a meat thermometer. This pick from ThermoPro gives you a reading in seconds and has over 35,000 five-star ratings to back it up. More than 40,000 shoppers bought this in the past month, so it's safe to say it's worth the $15!
"Works exactly as it says it should," one impressed reviewer wrote. "Used it to cook our Thanksgiving meal and the turkey and ham came out great! [It's] nice and small, so it doesn't take up too much room in our drawer."
When it's freezing outside, sipping a lukewarm drink is like adding insult to injury. This mug warmer with a 10,000-person fan club keeps coffee, tea and other hot beverages at a pleasantly piping temperature.
"I got this as an office Christmas gift and have used it basically daily for the past year," one fan wrote. "The warmer keeps either coffee or tea at a perfect temperature for hours. It shuts off after four hours, which is a nice safety feature, [and] flashes red when it's still hot once you turn it off."
This is one of the most thoughtfully designed portable chargers we've seen, and it's all thanks to four built-in cables. That means you won't have to pack separate cords for your phone, headphones, tablet and more — they're all right there. With a USB-C connector, a lightning connector and a micro-USB connector, all your bases, er, devices are covered. The battery recharges using USB-A.
"We purchased this for a recent Disney trip and it successfully kept two iPhones charged the entire day!" one reviewer gushed. "This is pretty impressive considering we used the Disney app, camera, Life360 to find those in our group consistently throughout the day and had over 40% left on the charger when we got home."
This cute and compact portable Bluetooth speaker has over 25,000 five-star fans. Why? It packs a serious audio punch and will get the party started at that backyard bonfire. It's waterproof too!
"I'm a 'boomer' and not always the most knowledgeable about technology. When this speaker arrived, it was simple and straightforward to use," one impressed shopper wrote. "It fully charged in under three hours, and I used it the same day."
Between this blanket's 15-pound heft and its sherpa fleece underside, you'll feel like you're receiving a warm hug that never seems to end.
"I probably own 10-plus blankets, some weighted, and this one is now my favorite," wrote this fan. "It's super soft and cozy. It's good quality, and the color I chose is a really nice rich deep blue. I also like that there is different material on both sides."
This checked suitcase is one of Samsonite's most rugged and durable — just ask the more than 2,800 five-star reviewers at Amazon. The hard-side spinner is scratch-resistant, made to withstand the rigors of air travel and comes with a 10-year limited warranty.
"The contours of this luggage make it appear smaller than it really is," one reviewer wrote. "The room inside is spacious and fits everything we needed for two people on a week-long trip. The TSA lock is a nice touch and easy to set."
