From shampoo to beauty tools - these are everyday Prime Day deals worth buying
After covering Amazon Prime Day for over five years, I've learned a thing or two about how to shop it smartly.
I've also learned that Amazon sells way more than you might expect – from your favourite Redken shampoo to dishwasher tablets, method cleaning sprays to everyone's favourite Italian spritz, and of course, the humble toilet roll.
Now that I've bought my first flat, I'm more conscious of what I'm spending. But with over a decade of shopping and writing under my belt, I've got a pretty good sense of what's actually worth adding to your basket – and what's just going to gather dust.
This list isn't full of flashy gadgets or impulse buys. It's the practical stuff: micellar water, snacks, cleaning products, essentials you'll use every day. Not the most glamorous, sure, but stocking up during Prime Day can save you a surprising amount – and cut down those last-minute supermarket dashes.
So, if you're looking to make the most of the sales without wasting money, here are the things I genuinely think are worth buying.
The Nespresso Vertuo Next by De'Longhi is a great Prime Day buy if you want barista-style coffee at home without the fuss. It's compact, easy to use, and brews a range of coffee sizes – perfect for busy mornings or weekend treats. With a solid discount, it's a smart investment that'll save you money on takeaway coffees in the long run. Buy Now for £59 (was £150) – save 61%

Fairy Non Bio Pods are a Prime Day essential if you want gentle, effective laundry care at a great price.

Aperol Aperitivo is one of those bottles that instantly makes your drinks feel a bit more special – and Prime Day is the perfect time to grab it for less.

Buy Now for £13 (was £15.75) – save 17%
The Method Spray multipack is a Prime Day win if you want cleaning products that actually smell nice and work well. I've used these in my own flat – the kitchen, bathroom, and all-purpose sprays are tough on grime but gentle on surfaces, and they're plant-based too. Buying the pack of three while it's discounted means you're stocked up for months, and it's one less thing to think about on your next supermarket run. Buy Now for £15.26 (was £17.95) – save 15%

Broadcom launches Jericho chip to advance AI data center networks
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Broadcom's silicon division launched its next-generation Jericho networking chip on Monday, which is designed to connect data centers over 60 miles (96.5 km) apart and speed artificial intelligence computation. The company's Jericho4 introduces and improves several features that increase the amount of networking traffic speeding across large networks that operate inside and between data centers. Building and deploying artificial intelligence has become more computationally intensive and requires stringing together thousands of graphics processors (GPUs). Cloud computing companies such as Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab and Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab require faster, more sophisticated networking chips to ensure data moves efficiently. Security when transferring data beyond the physical walls of a data center is crucial for cloud companies because of the potential attacks that could intercept it ahead of reaching its destination. Broadcom's engineers designed the Jericho chips to be deployed at a massive scale, and a single system can encompass roughly 4,500 chips, according to Ram Velaga, senior vice president and general manager of Broadcom's Core Switching Group. To help mitigate issues around network congestion, the Jericho4 chips use the same high-bandwidth memory (HBM) designers such as Nvidia (NVDA.O), opens new tab and AMD (AMD.O), opens new tab use for their AI processors. It's necessary because of the volume of data that needs to be stuffed into memory at any given moment of operation. "The switch is actually holding that traffic (in memory) till the congestion frees up," Velaga said. "It means you need to have a lot of memory on the chip." The longer the distance the data must travel from the chip to its destination, the more memory designers must include in the chip as well. In addition to performance improvements, the Jericho4 also beefs up security by encrypting data. Broadcom opted to use TSMC's ( opens new tab three nanometer process for the Jericho4.

Stone secures IBD financing to offer credit to businesses in the Amazon
SAO PAULO, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Brazilian payments company Stone (STNE.O), opens new tab said on Monday it has secured 295 million reais ($53.4 million) in financing from the Inter-American Development Bank's private investment arm to expand credit offerings to small and mid-sized companies, focusing on Brazil's remote Legal Amazon region. Funds from IDB Invest will support the development of businesses in the region, including by women. The area covers nine states, most of which are among the poorest in Brazil, and faces deforestation, illegal mining, land conflicts and governance challenges. The transaction, the first between Stone and the IDB, was initiated before discussions about U.S. tariffs on Brazil, said Diego Salgado, treasury officer at Stone in Brazil. "This process began over a year ago, before the American election and before the imposition of tariffs. The challenge of a more multipolar world was not yet a significant concern," he said. The financing will "help us reach 'deep Brazil,' which is the Brazil of those in need," said Carolina da Costa, Stone's director of sustainability and impact. Under the agreement, IDB Invest will also help Stone improve its products by developing solutions specifically for women entrepreneurs in remote areas such as the Amazon.
