Stop, Drop, and Swab: This COVID Test Is More Than 30% Off

October 11, 2022 Off By Nicolette Accardi

[Cough, cough] “I can't go out, I'm sick”—to quote the famous words of Karen Smith from Mean Girls. We’re tired of muttering that phrase over the phone or via DMs, but safety first, kids. It’s flu season soon, which means differentiating whether you have a cold, the flu, or COVID is going to be extra tricky. 

But, before you start freaking out that you might not be able to taste your cult-favorite chili crisp, there’s nothing to worry about—wipe those tears away, you big baby. (Although we will say, not even our worst enemy deserves the cruel fate of not being able to taste a Shipyard Pumpkin Head brewski and a steak dinner.) Amazon is in the middle of its Prime Early Access Sale, and we found a deal on rapid COVID tests as part of its bangin’ bargains, so you can be on top of your health shit without blowing your budget. Yep: Grab the iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test for 32% off. Better yet, it’s a two-pack. 

iHealth’s test is FDA-authorized, of course—no bootleg-seemin’ tests over here. All you’ve gotta do is swab your nose (sorry), then it will let you know the results within 15 minutes, all in the comfort of your own walk-up. Detailed instructions on how to use the tests are included, and you don’t have to use both at the same time. The kit has a 4.5-star rating and over 185,000 reviews on Amazon—we’re sold on its accuracy (and some of our editors have even used this very test kit themselves). “These at-home COVID tests are by far the most user-friendly and have been quite sensitive, and useful for our family,” one reviewer wrote. “They detected my son's COVID case before he had any distinct symptoms, and they detected my husband’s [symptoms] very early as well.” So save yourself an urgent care visit, and stock up.

The iHealth COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test is available for purchase (on sale!) at Amazon
