When it comes to Amazon Prime Day sales, the discounts that get the most attention are the massive ones, like 4K TVs and premium kitchen equipment dropping in price by hundreds of dollars. But don't sleep on the true bargain deals, like the ones bringing products under $25.
Some of the best Prime Day deals under $25 include the sleek SteelSeries QcK gaming mouse pad for less than $13, cult favorite Mighty Patch Invisible+ zit patches for less than $15, and the wildly popular Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask cream for only $17 — that's the lowest price we've seen in years.
Amazon's big Prime Day sales event ends at midnight tonight, which means you've got less than a day to take advantage of the massive sales we're finding. We've already seen some great deals sell out, so if you want to take advantage, you'll need to act fast. And remember that most of these deals are only available to Amazon Prime subscribers.
We pick out our deals in a few different ways, but in general, we use a mix of hands-on experience and research.
Our reporters own and use many of the items in this guide — including every product marked as a "Staff Pick" — so we have a good sense of their pros, cons, and overall value. We also check out customer reviews and professional reviews from other publications to get a sense of what consumer experiences have been like.
And for big deal days like Prime Day, we also make use of special browser extensions like Camelcamelcamel that use data direct from Amazon to tell us how the product's price has changed over time. This is how we know when products hit all-time low prices.
Yes! Although Prime Day deals often aren't the lowest of the year — you might need to wait until Black Friday for the cheapest bargains — it's still a fantastic event for frugal shoppers. That's especially true if you're shopping for Amazon-brand products, like Fire TVs or Kindle e-readers, which see massive discounts.
It's also a great chance to make up for the yearly cost of an Amazon Prime subscription, which many shoppers pay for but never take full advantage of.
