When it comes to big sales events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, tech finds, kitchen appliances or even mattresses might come to mind. But our team of editors who regularly vet deals and the Lab pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute note that this time is also great for stocking up on everyday needs.
As a home editor who is always on the hunt for impressive home deals, I've come to realize that Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best days to stock up on everyday home essentials. I'm already seeing discounts of up to 40% off on paper goods, vitamins and more. Some items even have extra coupons on their product page!

Home Basics
From Command strips to batteries, these home basics are worth stocking up on before the sales end. Pro tip: Look out for orange Amazon coupons to save even more beyond the discount. At the time of writing, there was a 25% coupon on the Ziploc bags.
Paper Goods
Paper products can get expensive, especially when you're buying for a whole house. Whether it's napkins for the table or gift bags for the holidays, you won't want to run out of these essentials. And from what we've seen, deals on paper goods go fast.

Cleaning
When I'm in the mood to clean, I have to act fast or else I run the risk of losing motivation. That's why I make sure to load up on cleaning supplies while they're on sale. The last thing I want is to open the cabinets under my sink to find nothing but a couple of dirty rags.
Bath & Body
I always feel successful whenever I can save on my favorite beauty products. Plus, one of the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab's favorite eye gel patches is on sale for over 30% off! The Essence Lash Princess mascara is also a favorite value mascara pick among GH beauty staffers and experts.

If you're running low on any of your commonly used health-related products, check out some of the deals I'm shopping this Black Friday. Bonus tip: If you take a certain product regularly, opt to Subscribe & Save to save up to 15% on your recurring orders.
