It’s never too late to get ahead for back to school shopping & as a very recent graduate I felt the need to go scouting for prime day dorm necessities. I tapped into my underclassmen days to remember the products that were (and definitely were NOT) worth it, to make sure I can find you guys the best Prime Day college shopping deals.
I love to shop deals as much as the next person, but we are too smart to fall for false deals in 2024. As you’re shopping today, make sure to use an Amazon price tracker to make sure that the deal is ACTUALLY a deal. I like to use CamelCamel, but there’s a ton of extensions you can also use on chrome to make sure you’re getting the best deal possible.
Well I really shouldn’t have to explain this one… you will 100% need a bedding set and it typically works out cheaper if you buy in as a set instead of individually. The reviews sold me on this one!
