Best deals in Amazon's first Everyday Essentials sale, from toilet roll to dishwasher tablets
Whether you need to replenish your cleaning essentials like dishwasher tablets or laundry detergent, or replace your bathroom stash of body wash and cleanser, there are plenty of deals on offer in Amazon's Everyday Essentials sale.
This is the first time the online retailer has run a sale focused on everyday items, and some of our favourite tried and tested products have seen big discounts. To save you combing through the deals, we've hand-picked the best offers. On top of that, we've taken the time to compare Amazon's deal prices with supermarkets, so we can tell you if you're actually making a saving.
The offers are available until Tuesday 27 May 2025, so you've got just under a week to grab a discount. If you miss out, or you're already stocked up on everyday essentials, I've also predicted the best Prime Day deals to expect on household items. You can bookmark that page and check back closer to the mid-July sale to see the best deals on cleaning, kitchen and bathroom essentials.
Here's our pick of the best deals:
Andrex ultimate quilts toilet paper 24 pack: Was £18, now £12.31, Amazon.co.uk
Now's a good time to replenish your toilet roll supply with this Amazon deal on Andrex's ultimate quilts loo roll. With a 32 per cent reduction, it's the lowest the 24-pack has ever been at the online retailer, and it's cheaper than the prices you'll find on your weekly shop.
The online retailer has also slashed the price of dishwasher tablets in its Everyday Essentials sale, including this jumbo pack of Finish tablets. A pack this size will set you back £19 at Ocado right now, so this is a decent saving on the household staple. As with many everyday items on Amazon, subscribing to a regular delivery can also help you save.
This laundry detergent is formulated for sensitive skin, so it doesn't contain any fragrance, enzymes or colouring. Our tester of the best laundry detergents, Zoe, found that 'it tackled food stains, wet towels and sweaty sports kit with ease.' Though odourless, it still managed to neutralise the smell of sweat left on her gym kit. A double-pack of the detergent has been reduced by a huge 45 per cent at Amazon, so now's the perfect time to stock up.
Grind is one of our favourite coffee brands for an at-home brew, with its house blend making our round-up of the best coffee subscription services. The house blend is made from a blend of Colombian and Brazilian beans, and makes a delicious flat white. You can save 20 per cent on the coffee beans in Amazon's sale on everyday essentials, and you won't currently find it cheaper elsewhere. If you like the taste, you can save even more if you use Amazon's subscribe and save service.
If you like to start your day with an oat flat white, you can stock up on oat milk using Amazon's deal on Oatly's barista edition drink. You get six cartons included in this bumper order, with each drink coming to £1.42. This beats current supermarket prices, so it's worth taking advantage of this Amazon offer.
Need a cuppa in the morning? This deal is a good chance to top up your tea stash, with 25 per cent off 160 tea bags. A box this size is only available at a select few supermarkets, so if you spot it on offer, it's worth adding to your basket.
It's not just household products that are reduced in Amazon's Everyday Essentials sale; there are plenty of deals to be found on beauty essentials too. We're big fans of Faith in Nature's vegan shampoo and conditioner, so we're pleased to see its body wash reduced in the sale. It contains oat extract, designed to soothe skin, as well as anti-inflammatory limeflower. It's a modest saving, but it's the cheapest price for this body wash right now.
CeraVe's hydrating cleaner topped our list of the best CeraVe products, and for good reason. Beauty writer Lucy Partington said it 'works to remove makeup and cleanses quickly and easily' without drying out your skin. Its combination of ceramides and hyaluronic acid helps skin to retain moisture, and it's suitable for all skin types. Right now, you can save 30 per cent on the cleanser in Amazon's Everyday Essentials sale.
WaterWipes's products are made of 99.9 per cent water and a little bit of fruit extract, so they suit sensitive skin. We know how quickly wipes disappear when you've got kids around, so now's a good time to top up your stash with this Amazon deal on a huge 720-pack.
We never seem to have batteries handy when we actually need them, so now's a good time to buy some back-ups with this Amazon deal. You can save 17 per cent on this 18-pack of Duracell Plus, so there'll be plenty to keep the TV remote, kids' toys and more running, with some still to spare.

Foxtons to expand beyond London into high-value commuter markets
Foxtons is preparing to take its green Minis, sharply dressed sales reps and punchy house price valuations to more towns beyond the M25. London's biggest estate and lettings agent has told shareholders and City analysts that it wants to accelerate its expansion beyond the capital and into more 'high-value commuter markets'. Over the past year Foxtons has sought a foothold in Reading and Watford after snapping up local agents in those two markets, but its chief executive, Guy Gittins, expects more deal-making over the coming months. It is part of his plan to hit the ambitious new growth targets that he revealed on Wednesday. Over the next few years he expects Foxtons to increase its operating profit to £50 million, which is more than twice that delivered in 2024. Sam Cullen, a housing industry analyst at Peel Hunt, said making more acquisitions would be the 'key driver' of the growth that Foxtons is hoping for. The previous 'medium-term' target, set out two years ago, was to get adjusted operating profits up to at least £28 million. Foxtons said the updated target 'reflects the significant progress made to date [and] the scale of the opportunity ahead'. • Business live blog: Trump tells Powell he should have cut rates Since Gittins took over in September 2022 there has been a relentless focus on maximising Foxtons' vast pool of data and bringing back the sales culture he enjoyed in the early Noughties as a trainee at the company. At the head office in Chiswick there are now leader boards ranking workers' performances, upbeat music plays throughout, and there are flashing lights and whooping when someone presses the big red button in the middle of the office after closing a deal. Gittins has said it is all about 'celebrating success'. The changes have undoubtedly improved the company's financial performance: market share has increased, last year's profits were more than double what they were in 2022 and the share price is up almost 80 per cent. It has not been smooth sailing, however. Earlier this year a number of current and former staff told Bloomberg that 'a culture of sexual harassment, antisemitism, racism and bullying' exists within some Foxtons' branches. Gittins said in March that he was 'saddened' by the experiences reported by some of his colleagues. 'We don't tolerate that sort of behaviour,' he said. 'Ultimately, like many businesses in the modern world, Foxtons is on a journey. While very solid progress has been made, there's more to do.' More investments in people and culture, which 'are at the heart of estate agency', have been promised with the hope that will 'further strengthen Foxtons' competitive advantages and support continued growth'. 'We have more than doubled our profit since 2021 and our ambition is to double it again in this next phase of growth,' Gittins told a capital markets day at the London Stock Exchange on Wednesday. 'We have a clear and scalable strategy, an industry-leading operating platform and a commitment to delivering outstanding results for our customers through reliable, high-quality service. I'm excited about the opportunity ahead.' Foxtons shares fell by ⅓p, or 0.5 per cent, to close at 65p on Wednesday.

Abba singer Björn Ulvaeus teases fans in London with AI-assisted musical
After bringing a blockbuster hologram version of Abba to a purpose-built venue in east London, Björn Ulvaeus's next technological exploration is a musical that he's written with the help of artificial intelligence. Ulvaeus told an audience at SXSW London that he was 'three-quarters' of the way through writing a new musical which he has created with assistance from AI songwriting tools. He did admit the technology had limitations when it comes to songwriting, saying it was 'lousy at [writing a whole song]' and 'very bad at lyrics' but was helpful whenever the 80-year-old songwriter reached a creative impasse. 'You can prompt a lyric you have written about something, and you're stuck maybe, and you want this song to be in a certain style,' Ulvaeus said. 'You can ask it, how would you extend? Where would you go from here? It usually comes out with garbage, but sometimes there is something in it that gives you another idea.' The use of AI is a hugely contentious issue in the music industry. This year, Dua Lipa and Paul McCartney were among hundreds of artists who signed an open letter urging the prime minister to protect artists' copyright and not 'give our work away' to big tech. Ulvaeus said AI isn't the creative threat but rather a collaborator. 'It's fantastic. It is such a great tool,' he added. 'It is like having another songwriter in the room with a huge reference frame. It is really an extension of your mind. You have access to things that you didn't think of before.' The musical is far from Ulvaeus's first flirtation with technology. Abba Voyage, the concert which launched three years ago in a purpose-built arena that featured digital avatars of the band, has been a huge success and was described as a 'dazzling retro-futurist extravaganza' by the Guardian. It was a risky venture as Pophouse Entertainment, the company behind the project needed to bring in £140m in order to break even. He told the audience at SXSW London that he embraced experimental approaches to songwriting and studio technology much earlier in his career. This experimental approach is characteristic of Ulvaeus's career-long fascination with technological innovation. During his time in Abba, he along with bandmate Benny Andersson 'always wanted the latest thing', and were among the first to use the Mini Moog synthesizer and use digital recording machines in their studio. 'We were always on the lookout for, you know, you would hear a sound on the record. How was that done? And then you get that stuff,' said. The Abba songwriter told the audience that he sees AI as the latest evolution in his career rather than a threat which is how it is perceived by many. 'I actually wake up curious every morning,' Ulvaeus said, explaining the drive that has kept him creating decades after Abba's peak. 'Everything's really after our wanting to try new things.'
