There’s a reason so many people love shopping on Amazon, and are willing to endure a yearly charge on their credit card for a Prime membership. Amazon commonly offers a wide range of products at competitive prices. And as a Prime member, you’re eligible for free two-day shipping on orders of any amount.

Meanwhile, Amazon has a number of great deals running this month. Here are some discounted products you may want to scoop up sooner rather than later.

1. Amazon Fire 7 Kids tablet

Some parents hate the idea of having their kids stare at a screen for what could be hours at a time. But let’s face it — sometimes, your kids need to be kept busy when they’re home sick or stuck indoors on a rainy Saturday. That’s where tablets come in. Right now, the Fire 7 is on sale for $59.99, which is a massive reduction from its regular $109.99 price point. Best of all, this device comes with parental controls so you can monitor your kids’ content and even set limits to minimize their screen time.

2. The Ring Video Doorbell Pro 2

Whether you’re looking to monitor what goes on outside your home for security reasons or want the benefit of knowing when a package has arrived, a Ring doorbell can get the job done. This model normally retails for $249.99, but right now, it’s on sale at Amazon for $174.99. You can benefit from features like two-way talk and built-in Alexa greetings.

3. Kindle Paperwhite 8 GB

If you’ve been thinking about buying an e-reader, now’s a good time to make that purchase. This Kindle model normally sells for $139.99, but right now, you can scoop it up for $99.99. With summer on the horizon, you may want to consider buying an e-reader you bring along on vacation or stick in the corner of your beach bag. And as an added bonus, this Kindle is waterproof, so if you dunk it in the ocean by accident, you’re good.

4. DEWALT Screwdriver Bit and Drill Bit Set, 100-Piece Master Set

Spring is a popular time to embark on home improvement projects. If you’re handy, or you have a handy person in your household, this screwdriver bit and drill set could be a good investment. It normally sells for $56, but right now, you can snag it for $44.99.

5. Amazon Basics 15-Sheet Office Shredder

Given that it’s the season for spring cleaning, you may be ready to tackle your home office and the mountains of documents you’ve been storing there. Some of those documents might contain sensitive information, though, so it’s important to shred them thoroughly so they don’t get into the wrong hands. This Amazon shredder can tackle 15 sheets of paper at a time so you don’t need to spend too much time safely disposing of paperwork you no longer need. It’s on sale for $70.01, down from $94.98.

Amazon puts items on sale all the time, so if money has gotten tight recently or you’re really trying to boost your savings account balance, you may want to hold off on making purchases in the near term. But if you have the flexibility to do some spending and these buys fulfill a specific need of yours, then it could pay to scoop them up while they’re available at a lower price point than usual.
