Amazon Prime Day in October is the last big sale we’ll see before the holidays. Officially called Prime Big Deal Days, the two-day event runs through today and promises “millions of deals,” but many discounts are misleading, with inflated prices that make the deals look better than they are. As the cost of virtually everything is rising, it’s more important than ever to spend your money wisely. To help you out, I’ve gathered up the very best deals under $50.
These are the very best discounts we’ve seen on WIRED-tested gear we recommend, and, most importantly, that are actually worth buying. Plus, all of these deals bring the price to $50 or below, no small feat in today’s economy. Want more options? Have a look at our guide to the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals.

Updated October 7 at 3 pm ET: I’ve added new deals from Nimble, Birdfy, Amazon, and more. I’ve also updated prices and removed products no longer on sale.
