The seventh installment of Amazon Prime Day is now underway. The event unfolds over two days, the first of which has ended. But day two brings countless sales on things in all categories, from fashion to home décor. Years of sifting through Prime Days past have taught us that not all of those deals are good - in fact, many are not. To help you find stuff worth your money (and to avoid "deals" on things that are actually cheaper at Walmart), we’ll be combing through all the sales to find the best, with a focus on items we’ve tried (and love) ourselves, products that experts and cool people have recommended to us before, and even things Strategist readers are always adding to their carts.
But in order to take advantage of any of the savings, you have to be a Prime member - if you’re not, you can sign up here easily. Here, we’re keeping tabs on the best kitchen deals. On day one of Prime Day, we found some of our most beloved items with nice discounts, from our favorite reusable Stasher bags for storing food to the mushroom-growing kit we’ve said would make a good gift to anyone who likes to experiment in the kitchen. In addition to those, beauty we spied solid deals on other kitchen staples from Strategist-approved brands like Le Creuset, Vitamix, and Cuisinart. All deals are only available while supplies last, so it’s best not to linger if you see something you like. To ensure you don’t miss a Prime Day deal, we suggest bookmarking our Prime Day hub page and following us on Twitter. And if you know the type of kitchen deal you’re looking for, you can click on any of the links below to jump straight to that section. Note: With day two of Prime Day approaching its end, we will no longer be updating this post. That said, any deals that have not expired will be available through 3 a.m. EDT on June 23. So if you see something you like, we suggest scooping it up while you can. A (now cheaper) version of the "masticating" juicer Debi Mazar swears by.

We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
Common shares outstanding plus shares underlying stock-based awards totaled 517 million on June 30, 2020, compared with 510 million one year ago. "This was another highly unusual quarter, and I couldn’t be more proud of and grateful to our employees around the globe," said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. "As expected, we spent over $4 billion on incremental COVID-19-related costs in the quarter to help keep employees safe and deliver products to customers in this time of high demand-purchasing personal protective equipment, increasing cleaning of our facilities, following new safety process paths, adding new backup family care benefits, and paying a special thank you bonus of over $500 million to front-line employees and delivery partners. We’ve created over 175,000 new jobs since March and are in the process of bringing 125,000 of these employees into regular, full-time positions. And third-party sales again grew faster this quarter than Amazon’s first-party sales.
Amazon’s top priority is providing for the health and safety of our employees and partners, and the company spent more than $4 billion in the second quarter on incremental COVID-19 related initiatives to help keep employees safe, provide additional compensation to our employees and delivery partners, and deliver products to customers. Amazon provided a one-time Thank You bonus totaling over $500 million to all front-line employees and partners who were with the company throughout the month of June. This benefit provides employees with up to 10 days of company-subsidized emergency backup child or adult care. Amazon introduced Distance Assistant to help keep employees safe by providing them with live feedback on their social distancing via a 50-inch monitor. Amazon made the software and AI behind this innovation available via open source so that anyone can create their own Distance Assistant at no cost and get up and running with just a monitor, computer, and camera. Amazon is collaborating with national medical care group Crossover Health to pilot Amazon Neighborhood Health Centers, which are new medical facilities available to Amazon employees and their families.
The centers will provide access to quality, convenient care while reducing health care costs for employees and Amazon. The pilot includes 20 Crossover Health branded and operated centers in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; Louisville, Kentucky; Detroit, Michigan; and San Bernardino/Moreno Valley, California. Amazon donated more than $10 million of personal protective equipment, including 4.4 million masks and thousands of contactless thermometers, to Direct Relief and Feeding America. The masks went to over 200 of Direct Relief’s partner clinics and Feeding America’s food banks and agencies in 47 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. Amazon Business delivered more than 200 million essential health and safety products to healthcare and government organizations in tens of thousands of locations across the U.S. Amazon partnered with food banks and schools to deliver more than six million meals to underserved families and vulnerable seniors in 25 U.S. Australia, Japan, Singapore, Spain, and the U.K. Amazon plans to deliver one million more meals by the end of this summer.
