5 Amazing Amazon Prime Deals for September 2023

Amazon constantly offers discounts on its wide range of products, which is both good and bad for your personal finances. On the plus side, it's nice to be privy to deals on a regular basis. But seeing those deals flash before your eyes could open the door to temptation and prompt you to buy things you don't really need.

That's why you should be cautious when taking advantage of Amazon bargains. But if any of these items fill a need for you, or constitute a "want" you've been saving for, then it could pay to add them to your cart.

1. iRobot Roomba i4 EVO (4150) Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum

Vacuuming is a chore many of us don't have time for. If you'd rather outsource it, why pay a cleaning service when you can invest in a robot vacuum instead?

Amazon has this iRobot Roomba model on sale for $209.99, which is 48% off the regular price of $399.99. Use it on hardwood, carpet, or whatever flooring your home has.

2. KitchenAid KFC3516IC 3.5 Cup Food Chopper

Buying groceries and cooking meals at home can be a lot cheaper than dining at restaurants and ordering delivery or takeout all the time. But you may need to invest in a few tools to make meal prep more efficient.

Enter this food chopper, which makes it easy to mix and puree vegetables for soups, stews, and side dishes. It normally retails for $59.99, but Amazon has it on sale now for $49.99 in a variety of colors.

3. Amazon Essentials Women's Classic-Fit Full-Zip Polar Soft Fleece Jacket

It may still be blazing hot in some parts of the country, but soon enough, fall should kick into full swing. That means cooler weather and the need to layer up in the morning, at night, or on those briskier days.

Right now, Amazon is discounting this fleece zip-up jacket by 27%. Snag it for $20.93 instead of the usual $28.50. And if you don't want to commit to a purchase right away, use the try before you buy option. If you go that route, your credit card won't get charged until you confirm that it's a good fit.

4. Amazon Fire TV 50" 4-Series 4K UHD smart TV with Fire TV Alexa Voice Remote

If you've been saving up for a TV upgrade, now's a good time to visit Amazon. You can snag this 50-inch TV for $299.99, which is 33% off of the usual price of $449.99. It features a clear, crisp picture and is compatible with a host of streaming services. Plus, you can use Alexa to find content if you're too tired to reach for the remote.

And if you're not super interested in a new TV for yourself, keep in mind that this could make an incredible (and generous) holiday gift for a spouse or loved one.

5. HBTower 5 Step Ladder with Handrails

How many times has the following happened to you? You need something from the top of your pantry, so you pull a wobbly kitchen chair over, brace yourself, and hope for the best. It's not worth getting injured to reach things in high places, so you may want to invest in this folding step ladder. Its sturdiness could prevent accidents that sideline you or cost you money in medical bills. You can buy it now for $109.99, which is 15% off the usual price of $129.99.

While these are all great deals available on Amazon now, keep in mind that the online retail giant is running a second Prime Day event in October. So before you spend all of your spare money in September, think about the items on your wishlist and decide whether it pays to hold off on purchases until the Prime Day specials hit. But if you have a specific need for the items above, then now's a good time to buy them.
