We Found 80 Spectacular Budget Buys for Under $25 That You Can Snag Before Prime Big Deal Days Ends
Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale is now officially behind us, but some deals from the event are still available to grab for a short time. While plenty of big-ticket items like TVs and laptops are still reduced, time is also running out to stock up on smaller items, like household essentials or tech accessories, for less. You can even get a head start on your holiday shopping and snag some stocking stuffers.
CNET’s team of shopping experts has sifted through page after page of deals and we’ve rounded up some top deals under $25 that are still live. We’re continuing to update this list even though Amazon’s sales event has officially wrapped up, so keep checking back for any lingering deals. Prefer Best Buy or Walmart? We’ve got you covered with the top price drops available from all retailers.
If any of these deals pique your interest, make sure to shop sooner rather than later. Since the sale is officially over, we’re expecting many of the discounted items to return to their retail price anytime now.
