Stuff Not Made in China on Amazon Prime Day 2026

Stuff Not Made in China on Amazon Prime Day 2026

6/29/26 Update: Prime Day / Week is over for 2026, but if you missed it, it might be worth a shot for you to click through some of the links I put below. I noticed that many brands are keeping their Prime Day pricing, while others have reverted to their original pricing. If you find something you need and the pricing is close to the Prime Day price, grab it quickly.

If you can’t find what you need, check back here around early to mid October, when Amazon will host “Prime Big Deal Days”, where may of these same brands will go on sale again, and many more will make a first appearance. And of course, a little over a month later we’ll have Black Friday sales where you’ll see these prices again.

I was pleasantly surprised this year that certain categories that have been a lock for China have opened up to other manufacturing countries. Of course, the CCP’s grubby hands are everywhere (especially countries like Vietnam) so let’s not kid ourselves that the problem has been solved. But one step at a time.

Original post follows:

Prime Day (actually, Prime Week) is here! I’ll be obsessively updating this page throughout the day from now until the end of Friday to showcase the best deals. If you don’t feel like reading my commentary, skip right to the deals here.

If you see something you like, grab it, as some of these things are going out of stock pretty quickly (I missed out on a tub of UTZ Cheese Balls, snif snif)

In what’s become some what of a tradition, every year I publish great deals that you can find for stuff not made in China on Amazon Prime Day, which in 2026 runs from Tuesday, June 23 to Friday, June 26.

It’s a GREAT time to stock up on products not made in China, especially high end products that go on sale only twice in the year: once during Prime Week (coming up), and once around Black Friday (after Thanksgiving)

Update: every media site from The New York Times to CNN to NBC is posting their list of “top Prime Day picks”, but of course they’re loaded with made in China stuff. I’m going through each of their lists to confirm which ones aren’t made in China.

New to Amazon Prime?

If you’re not a member of Prime yet, you can sign up here. If you’re new to Prime, you should be invited for a 30-day trial (you can always join for Prime Day and then cancel, but here are a few reasons I keep paying them from year to year:

  • Free delivery, often 2-day delivery, and sometimes 1-day or same-day delivery
  • Streaming on Prime Video. They have a few decent new productions, but I love the classic stuff they have on there.
  • Grocery delivery. Free same-day delivery if you spend more than $25 at Whole Foods.
  • Amazon Music. Their Prime selection isn’t the best, but it’s better than nothing.
  • Amazon Photos. This is one of the things I use it mostly for. You get unlimited photo backups—so if that’s mainly what you use Google Cloud or iCloud for, you can cancel those and use Amazon instead.
  • Amazon Prime Fuel. Get 10 cents off every gallon of gas (where I am, this works for BP and Amoco)
  • Grubhub+. You get a free subscription to Grubhub+ for $0 delivery feeds on food and lower service fees.
  • Alexa+. This is another “killer app” that they don’t tout much. If you buy a new Echo device, you get Alexa+ with it, which essentially works like ChatGPT or Claude. You can ask it any question you’d ask those LLMs, and it’ll give you a pretty good answer. It works both via voice to your Echo Device, or through the Alexa App.

For $139 a year, that’s not bad.

And if you know someone who’s aged 18-24, Amazon is giving out free 6-month trials for $0, and after that the annual cost is only $89.88 for the year, a savings of almost $50.

What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon invented Prime Day back in 2015. It was a brilliant move, because it’s exactly six months from Black Friday, essentially creating a new “holiday” where shoppers can load up on great deals, boosting revenue at a time that’s usually dead for retailers.

They’ve introduced three big sales events through the year, so big that now a lot of other retailers have their own “days” to coincide, once Amazon has gotten everyone to take their wallets out.

  • Amazon Prime Day (traditionally mid-July)
  • Prime Big Deal Days (traditionally early-to-mid October)
  • Black Friday (late November)

This year (2026), Prime Day / Week happens from 6/23 to 6/26.

Apologies to readers outside the US, but these are mainly US-centric deals, but if Amazon operates in your country you should be able to find many of the same deals there.

What are the best things to get on Amazon Prime Day?

That’s a great question. Personally, for me it falls into two categories.

  • Expensive stuff – One of the things we’ve covered on this blog is that many companies will outsource their cheap product lines to China, but keep their high-end products made outside of China.
    • It’s theoretically a smart strategy because it keeps R&D at home, while letting slave laborers in China mass produce the commoditized stuff.
    • It’s why products like the KitchenAid Mixer and Vitamix Blenders continue to be the best money can buy.
    • The flaw in this strategy, however, is that traditionally, it’s the mass market stuff that earns enough revenue that companies can re-invest into R&D. But as soon as China companies steal the IP needed to make the mass market stuff, they produce exact copies, undercut the original price, and corner the market.
    • Companies then rely on consumers buying their high-end products. Times like Prime Day are the only times many of us can afford them.
  • Everyday household stuff – Prime Day is also a good time to stock up on products like paper towels, coffee, office products, and other product you’ll use throughout the year.

The List

As Prime Day deals are revealed, I’ll update this list with 2026 Prime Day Deals—Not Made in China Edition. I’ll be updating this list continually through Friday the 23rd, so if you don’t see something you want, check back.

A Note from Sweden

Just for fun, I wanted to show you a comment I just got.

I get these all the time, so I would have assumed this comment would have come through one of the “usual” proxies—China, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.

But no, the dude who left this comment is using a UK-based ISP and is located in Sweden (why a Swedish fellow would be interested in Amazon Prime Day in the USA is beyond me).

It’s a good reminder that some of the worst offenders aren’t coming from the CCP, but from global elitists who are actively rooting for China and, at the same time, their own demise. This could be a Wumao, but there’s a much better chance this is one of those citizens of Sweden welcoming the destruction of his own country.

What’s unfortunate about idiots like this is that their comments about China being “morally superior”, while laughable to all of us who know the truth, are taken at face value from other useful idiots who don’t know a lick of history. As is the assertion that the 77-year old Chinese Communist Party somehow represents “the ancient and beautiful China” that it tried so hard to destroy in 1968.

I used to let these kinds of comments bother me, but now I just laugh at them. The more you hear them screeching, the more you know we’re winning. Ha en trevlig dag, my friend.

    1. Dang it. I was fooled by a few online sites and the “Cultivate” plug-in (which sadly I’m finding more and more useless; I suspect that pro-CCP elements are purposely sabotaging their UGC features).

      Thanks so much for pointing this out. I’m removing it from this list ASAP and will make sure not to recommend it when Black Friday comes along.

  3. Hey, thank you for your work. I recently started caring about the goods I buy and that’s impossible to find anything that is not made in China.

    Are you sure De’Longhi EC680M is made in Romania? I was trying to figure it out and in the comment people say that there is actually label “Made in China” on the box
