Avid Amazon shoppers know a good deal when they see one, which is why it's so helpful to keep track of which products double — or even triple — in sales, like all these popular products on Amazon.

When you take a good look at which items are rising in popularity, you might notice a trend — a whole lot of them are products that make life easier. This probably comes as no surprise. After all, we can't all get behind a certain perfume scent or checkered duvet, but we can all get behind something as practical as a personal blender that doubles as a to-go cup, so that there's one less thing to clean in the kitchen.

Besides this brilliant blender/to-go cup, there are a whole slew of other products that streamline your day-to-day.

To top it all off, all you have to do is press a button and whatever you order will show up on your front step — talk about making life easy.
