Ahh, Amazon Prime Day. Once just a whirlwind 24 hours of savings, the sale-stravaganza has since expanded over the years — and now we're into a weekend of precipitous price cuts. Along with this expansion, however, is the reality that not every deal is worth your dollar; after all, quantity doesn't always equal quality. So now that the event is into its encore set ... is there anything still worth immediately adding to cart?
Have no fear — helping you decide is where we come in. I sift through sales for a living, and I'm used to slicing through the fat and uncovering the diamonds in the rough (I'm mixing metaphors here, but you get the idea). I'm here to deliver my hand-picked list of the very best under-$50 faves to snap up and help you make the very most of your hard-earned dinero.
From a fresh new 4K Fire TV Stick at its lowest price all year to a portable Ninja Blender perfect for bringing your summer refreshers on the go, these are the top deals under $50 worth snagging ASAP.

Loungewear looks luxe when it's monochromatic. Even though this set is casual, it feels so sophisticated and exemplifies the rich mom aesthetic that's been trending for a while. The black set is classic, but there are multiple colors to shop. Since nearly all on sale right now, you should use this opportunity to grab a few options to add to your rotation. (Prices vary.)
For nearly 200 years, Clarks has been producing shoes that prioritize comfort, and at a fab $30, this sandal is close to its lowest price of the year. (Prices vary by size and color.)
And did we mention they're podiatrist-approved too? "Clarks offer a lot of support," says board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg. "Most of the shoes have wider toe boxes, which helps prevent bunions, hammertoes and neuromas." She also says Clarks are great for people with flat feet.
This smart toothbrush delivers 82,000 vibrations per minute and removes up to 10 times more buildup than an ordinary toothbrush. Thanks to its four brush modes, you can set it for sensitivity, deep cleaning, gum massage and even whitening. It also has a built-in 30-second timer and a two-minute auto shutoff to help you develop a better brushing routine.
With the brush, you also get eight brush heads — each one should last you about three months, so eight should last you just over two years! No more shelling out piles of cash for replacements.
Ah, yes, the coveted Stanley Cup. These bad boys rarely go on sale (they don't really need to), but this sought-after sipper happens to be marked down a refreshing 40% off. It's got a built-in straw and keeps cold drinks cold for up to nine hours (40 hours if they're iced). Plus, its tapered bottom will fit right in your car's cup holder.

You'll never go wrong with the classic look of Hanes, and Yahoo readers and Amazon shoppers alike can't get enough of these supremely comfortable shorts. They're made of a soft cotton-blend material, have an adjustable drawstring waist and, very conveniently, pockets. Reviewers of all ages have been singing their praises, and they haven't dipped lower than this all year.

According to Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida, "Open-ear headphones are all the rage, but they're usually not cheap: Prices typically start over $100 and rise from there.
"Behold the pleasant surprise that is the Baseus Bass BC1, a cuff-style open-ear headphone that I just started testing — but so far, so good. Comfy fit, decent sound, more bass than I expected and a price tag of just $24. Grab these before they jump back up to their already-pretty-amazing regular price of $40."

If the thought of making ice cream at home is intimidating to you, these have your name on them. Really, they couldn't be easier to use — just make sure your mugs are frozen for at least 24 hours, then mix up your ice cream base (there's a recipe book included). Once your mugs are sufficiently chilled (you want them to be really cold), you'll add your base, turn 'em on and they'll start churning away. You can also add mix-ins of your choosing via the pour chutes while they're running, and in about 20 minutes, you'll have ice cream. Simple, right?
This duo rarely dips lower than this, so scoop 'em up for their lowest price in over a year.
Staying hydrated is important all year, but especially as the temps rise. This sought-after tumbler will quench your thirst on the go while keeping drinks cold (or warm if you're a hot-coffee-or-bust kind of person) for hours at a time.
It'll fit right in your car's cupholder, has a splash-resistant lid and, perhaps most importantly, is dishwasher safe. Plus, Yeti is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales, so any time you see a discount, it's wise to pounce — and especially when it's down to a record low like it is now.

Enjoying a warm breakfast on a busy morning has never been so easy, thanks to this contraption that'll make a bacon, egg and cheese without you having to wait at the drive-through. Just fill each tray with the essentials and any toppings you'd like, and it'll cook everything so that it's nice and melty by the time you've gotten dressed. This appliance doesn't go on sale very often, so grab it while you can save a few bucks.
Just add water (distilled or purified, please), and in a mere 30 seconds this 300-ml-capacity steamer will be raring to go, smoothing your garments to perfection. You'll get up to 20 minutes continuous steaming, perfect for a whopping 6-10 garments per session.

If your cookware could use a refresh, this No. 1 bestselling 11-piece set from Carote is an awesome option. With two frying pans, a saute pan, two saucepans and accompanying lids, this non-stick set is suitable for cooks of all skill levels. And thanks to the included removable handles, storing these cookware pieces couldn't be easier. It also doesn't hurt that this set has been marked down to within a few bucks of its lowest price ever.
One five-star fan called the cookware set a "game changer," and added: "I'm obsessed with this set. Love the removable handle. ... My cupboard is finally nice and organized without handles in every direction. Also, cleans easily and I love the light color."
These K-beauty bestsellers have taken social media by storm thanks to their exfoliating properties. They contain ingredients like white willow bark, citric acid and botanical extracts to target enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and excess oil, which promotes a smoother complexion with smaller-looking pores. At over 50% off, they're down to their best price since 2024.

Bigger isn't always better, and this compact crusher is proof. Thanks to its battery-powered motor and slim profile, it'll blend up just about any bev on the go while weighing in at a lean 2 pounds.
Our price trackers say that this mini appliance has only dipped lower than its current price once this year (by just $5), and in general, it doesn't go on sale very often. Plus, making your own smoothies is a lot more affordable than daily visits to the local juice bar.
Ready for a streaming upgrade? This Fire Stick will likely make your TV viewing experience faster (thanks to improved Wi-Fi) and more convenient (thanks to AI-powered voice search). There's a reason this thing has a 4.7-star average rating from over 70,000(!) buyers: It's powerful, reasonably easy to use and — thanks to this Extended Prime Day deal — 50% off. (OK, that's three reasons. But you get it.)

Sunscreen is important year-round, but especially now, when we're spending more time outside and with more skin exposed. This one made it onto our list of the best SPFs for your face, and it's even approved by medical pros.
"This sunscreen has been clinically tested and shown to give better sunburn protection compared to sunscreens with lower SPFs," says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a New York City-based dermatologist. Plus, it's formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue and will cost you just seven bucks (over 45% off).
When you think of under-eye skin care that's actually effective, are you also envisioning large dollar signs? According to Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, it doesn't cost a lot to give that area a glow-up. "If you're looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you," she says. "RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated ... It's excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it's dermatologist recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat."
Speaking of price, this is about as low as we've seen it in months, and it's a No.1 bestseller.

Got a green thumb and don't want to strain it? These top sellers (over 30,000 purchased on Amazon this month!) were designed to slice through branches, stems and stalks like nobody's business. Made of durable stainless steel, the blades have a low-friction coating and a self-cleaning sap groove to help prevent sticking, and the nonslip handles offer a secure grip.
