The best under-$50 deals to score before Amazon Prime Day, according to a shopping pro
Why wait? Snag already-on-sale faves from Ninja, Hanes, Olaplex and more.
Ahh, Amazon Prime Day. What used to be a mere 24 hours of savings abandon has grown into the sale-stravaganza it is now, first expanding to two days, then a biannual event, and now nearly a whole week of precipitous price cuts slated for July 8-11.
However, not every deal is worth your dollar. I sift through sales for a living, and I’m used to cutting through the fat and uncovering the diamonds in the rough (I’m mixing metaphors here, but you get the idea). So I’m here to deliver my hand-picked list of the very best under-$50 picks to snap up before Prime Day and help you make the most of your hard-earned cashola.
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 adding to your cart ahead of the big event.

Ready for a streaming upgrade? This Fire Stick will 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 five-star rating from over 59,000 buyers: It’s powerful, reasonably easy to use and — thanks to this pre-Prime Day deal — 50% off. (OK, that’s three reasons. But you get it.) This is also the lowest price of 2025.

Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects
$30$46
Save $16 | Lowest price of the year
This kit delivers on its smile-brightening claims, reviewers say. The pack includes 22 treatments, with one upper and one lower strip for each session. With improved sealing technology, these strips no longer slip, so you can drink water — even talk — while using them. Just peel off a strip, apply it over your teeth, and leave it for 30 to 45 minutes. You’ll start to notice a whiter smile in as little as three days, with the full effect in about 20 days.

If your cookware could use a refresh, this top-selling nonstick set from Carote is a one-and-done option. With two frying pans, a saute pan, two saucepans, lids and extra accessories, it’s suitable for cooks of all skill levels. And thanks to the included removable handles, storage couldn’t be easier. This is within a few bucks of its lowest price ever. One five-star fan called it 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.”

Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo
$24$32
Save $8
Olaplex’s shampoo has tens of thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon and is reportedly the hair-cleansing choice of multiple celebrities, including J.Lo and Drew Barrymore. Like all Olaplex products, what makes it special is its bond-building technology, which helps rebuild the “glue” that holds strands’ keratin proteins together. The price hasn’t dipped lower since last fall.
