Everyone loves cheap stuff that’s actually good to use or invaluably helpful in your day to day. While Amazon Prime Day offers a deluge of deals on no-name tchotchkes and knockoffs (many of which have inflated, bot-fueled review scores), it does have its fair share of inexpensive hidden gems that are actually worth your money.
We know not everyone is shopping for big multihundred- or thousand-dollar tech every time a deal comes around, so we’re always on the lookout for sales that fit into more modest budgets like sub-$100 and sub-$50.
Here, we’re rounding up our top picks for Prime Day that are just 25 bucks or less. Some of them may be ho-hum essentials like a USB-C charging cable, but you may be surprised what kind of tech you can get for such little scratch — like some of Amazon’s Echo smart speakers (because Amazon is always thirsty to get its Alexa assistant into your home).
Even though the below prices are very low, you can rest assured they’re all deals we vouch for on products we’ve reviewed, hands-on tested, or own personally and swear by.
Update, July 16th: Adjusted prices and added a few new deals including those for Nanoleaf’s Essentials Matter smart bulbs, a free three-month Audible Premium Plus subscription, and more.
