Here’s what Verge readers are buying during Amazon’s Big Spring Sale
We have a pretty good understanding of which deals Verge readers will gravitate toward. After all, what products and services resonate with our audience — and the quality of the deal itself — are what help us determine what to cover on any given day. And yet, we never know for sure how people will shop during shopping events like Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, which runs through 2:59AM ET on April 1st.
Apparently, many readers felt compelled to make quality-of-life purchases this year, the kind designed to make life run a little more smoothly. Things like a portable tire inflator, a lil’ switch-flipping bot, and an electronic screwdriver were among the most-clicked items (gathered through anonymous shopping data). If you’re the kind of person who enjoys knowing what deals others think are worth jumping on, we’ve rounded them up below.
