August is the last pure month of summer. Once Labor Day hits, students head back to school and we collectively stow away all our white clothes so as not to commit the ultimate fashion faux pas. Because of this, August turns into a mad dash to cram in as many beach trips, BBQs, and outdoor activities that we can muster. That can get mighty expensive. Thankfully, Amazon Fresh has plenty of deals to lighten the financial load. Here are the top five Amazon Fresh deals on some Sporked approved products we’re tracking right now.
- Nature’s Own Perfectly Crafted Brioche Style Hot Dog Buns ($3.49)
-
The only time I go to baseball games these days is on dollar dog nights. There’s just something about hot dogs and summer that make perfect sense. So I make sure to get my fill of dogs in August. Amazon has a big discount on these Nature’s Own buns, which Sporked previously listed as their best of the best.
- Doritos Nacho Cheese Tortilla Chips, Party Size ($6.99 or 2 for $10)
-
Chips are great at pool parties and beach gatherings because they are easy to carry and everyone loves them. You just can’t go wrong. And these Doritos are not only on sale, but Amazon is running a 2 for $10 deal for their big party bags. And it’s not just the nacho cheese flavor; you can mix and match any of the available Doritos flavors. Personally, I am a spicy sweet chili boy.
- Dietz and Watson Kosher Pickle Spears ($4.99)
-
Yet another Sporked best of the best is on sale at Amazon. And these Dietz and Watson pickles are certified number one by Sporked’s Jordan Myrick, who is not only a pickle aficionado but a pickle master. I love a big pickle as a side to a grilled burger and some potato salad. And, if you are a Chicago-style hot dog fan, you won’t get much better than slapping one of these spears in your bun.
- Simply Lemonade All Natural ($3.79)
-
One of my favorite sensations in the world is the first sip of a cold, wet drink in my hot mouth. I know, that sounds perverted. But after a long day in the sun, there really isn’t anything better. And there’s no drink more synonymous with summer than lemonade. Just imagine it: You’ve been basking in the sun at the beach all day, or you’ve had a long yard work session. You pour a tall, cool glass of lemonade (or your summer drink of choice), sit on the porch, and watch the sun go down. It’s the simple things, ya know?
- Yasso Frozen Greek Yogurt Bars ($5.99 or 2 for $8)
-
Does anyone else have a visceral reaction when they hear Scott Joplin’s “The Entertainer” or “Pop Goes the Weasel,” especially when the tune faintly wafts from your street into your living room? Then you’ve probably been a kid who lost their damn mind when the ice cream truck drove by. It simply isn’t summer without some kind of ice cream treat, and Yasso bars are the best, adult-version that you can keep in your fridge. You can mix and match flavors with the Amazon deal; choose between Mint Chocolate Chip, Fudge Brownie, and Coffee Chocolate, 2 for $8.
- Honey Maid Graham Crackers ($4.59 + 30% off)
-
This one’s for the outdoorsman in your life. The adventurer, the camper, the person who is not afraid to start a fire and cook like our caveman ancestors did: with chocolate and marshmallows. There are a lot of ways to make a great s’more, but if you don’t have a solid graham cracker as your base, you’re going to wind up a sticky mess that will attract all sorts of sugar-crazed critters. Honey Maid graham crackers are 30% off at checkout on Amazon Fresh. Don’t miss out; your local park ranger will thank you.
