My very practical list of the best Amazon Prime Day deals

Clif Bloks Energy Chews Varity pack: was $32.73 now $22.91

They are a bit of a love or hate item, but I personally find these jelly cubes really easy to digest on longer rides, and have to stop myself from just having one as a little treat when I don't consume a whole pack on one ride. The variety pack is an ideal way to become over faced with the same flavour every ride. 

This is the cheapest price they've been on Amazon for a couple of years, so worth the investment.   

Clif bar energy bars: was $29.10 now $20.37 at Amazon

These are a great store cupboard staple in our house. Perfect size for riding or a nine year old's lunch box. I always keep an emergency Clif Bar in my bag or back pocket to deal with 'hangry' moments and they really do take the edge of hunger. 

Another variety pack, which we find selecting using a 'lucky dip' approach adds to the excitement of choosing what flavour to eat. 

Not the cheapest price, but a 30% is the best we've seen in a while on Amazon.   

Grenade High Protein bars: was £30.99 now £17.90 at Amazon

These are great alternatives to snacking on chocolate bars and just getting the protein in. We’re always trying to find the best and cheapest way for upping our intake, especially when we’re out the house so much, so chucking one of these in the lunch bag is much easier. I’ve had a look around and other than the ones with the really short shelf life at the official Grenade website, these are the cheapest. There’s loads of flavours on offer, and they really are a bargain if you’ve ever tried to buy one on its own and seen the £3 price ticket!  

Kenco Millicano Original Instant Coffee: Was £41.34 now £19.89 at Amazon 

Yeah yeah, it’s instant, haters gonna hate. However, this stuff even gives a nice creamy surface to fool others into it being fresh coffee. This currently has a street value of between £6 and £7 per 100g, which I know personally as I thought it was insane when I saw it in the Co-op last night. This Amazon Prime day deal works out at £3.32 per 100g which is much more palatable. 

Lavazza, Qualità Oro, Ground Coffee: Was £28.50 now £19.95 at Amazon 

You can’t really go wrong with the Italian brand  Lavazza range of coffee and these seem like a great deal worth bagging. Working out at just £1.33 per 100g for ground coffee. There’s 1.5kg of the stuff in total in this order, which should keep you awake for the rest of the year (or month at least!)

Aztec Organic disc Brake Pads: from $15.62 at Amazon 

Not a big brand, or even on sale for that matter, but when we rated these budget pads so much when we tested a set that we included them on our best brake pads for road and gravel bikes guide. 

They won't match finned options for total stopping power, so I wouldn't opt for adding them to your best race rig, but as suggested on the buying guide, on a winter bike they'd be ideal.  

Peaty's Bicycle Cleaning Kit: Was £29.99 now £17.97 at Amazon 

All you need for cleaning your bike and keeping it running well. The brainchild of Mountain bike world champion Steve Peat, so he knows a thing or two about cleaning very mucky bikes. This bundle is a decent 40 percent off RRP and having looked around I can’t see it cheaper anywhere else, with the nearest price still £3 more at Tweeks Cycles.    

Bryton Gardia R300L Rear Light & Radar: was $129.95 now $79.95

Our reviewer gave this Bryton Gardia R300L Rear Light & Radar 4.5 stars out of 5 when he tested it, finding it very close in performance to the Garmin Varia but a much more competitive price. It's currently showing an even better price with its 38% discount, which although doesn't seem to be badged as a 'Amazon Prime Day' deal, is the best price I can find so well worth hopping on this deal if you were in the market for one. 

CatEye AMPP 400 Light Set: Was £49.99 now £28.49 at Amazon 

I really rate CatEye lights, especially the rear. The AMPP 400 on this set isn’t super bright, but great for seeing enough on the road in more illuminated areas, and perfect for any tamer trails at night. The rear can be oriented portrait or landscape and, as the Viz 180 naming convention suggests, can be seen throughout 180 degrees, so side as well as rear visibility.  

Small travel first aid kit: was $10.99 now $5.59 at Amazon 

There are so many first aid kits with great discounts its hard to know what to pick. This mini-kit stood out as small enough for a back pocket or bike packing kit, but with 87 pieces should have enough contents to get you out of a fix until you can seek proper medical attention.  

90 Piece Premium first aid kit: was £20.50 now £8.77 at Amazon 

It’s unbranded, unsexy and probably should be the only real thing on my 'need' list. I’m not even going to bother looking for a better deal than this as it has 57% off and is less than £9, so I’m just shoving it in the basket.
