Best October Prime Day deals under $50
The temperature and leaves are beginning to fall, and while Amazon’s October Prime Big Deal Days has come and gone, you might still be able to snag a sweet deal, especially if you’re watching your wallet! The sale ran from October 8th through the 9th, with tons of great offers on all kinds of goodies, including Amazon devices, small kitchen appliances, headphones, robot vacuums, and more.
We’ve rounded up some of the best deals under $50 that caught our eye during Prime Day. Some of these might still be hanging around, so it’s worth taking a peek. And to make your life easier, we’ve struck through any deals that have expired.
Best entertainment deal
Why we like it
If you’re going to buy a streaming stick, I’m begging you — go with the Roku Streaming Stick 4K. Having put it head-to-head with the Amazon Fire Stick TV 4K, I can guarantee you that it’s supremely better. It installs easily, has an easy-to-navigate interface, and is so quick. It delivers a gorgeous picture and requires little to no buffer time. You really can’t do better — especially when it’s only $34 (32% off the list price).
Best Echo device deal
Why we like it
During Prime Big Deal Days, the Echo Spot (which Amazon launched last Prime Day) was our top pick for the best Echo device deal under $50. Now that the sale is over, most of those discounted Echos are gone. (You can still find several Echos for under $50, like the Echo Pop and Echo Dot 5th gen, but they’re generally not on sale.)

That said, we did find a great post-Prime Day deal on a Certified Refurbished Echo Show 5 (3rd Gen, 2023 release). You can get it for $44.99 ($35 off). Unlike the Echo Spot, the Echo Show 5 features a screen with a built-in camera so you can video chat with friends and family or check in on your home when you’re away.

Best headphones deal
Why we like it
Noise-cancelling headphones tend to cost several hundred dollars, putting them out of range for many folks. But that’s not the case today — you can grab the Soundcore Anker Life Q20 Hybrid Headphones in black for just $39.90 at Amazon.
Are these top-of-the-line Bose headphones? Nope. But they do an excellent job with sound quality and noise cancellation, especially considering the affordable sale price. The ear cups are made with a soft memory foam so you’ll be comfortable for all-day wear, and they get about 60 hours of playtime before you’ll need to recharge. You’ll also get a convenient travel pouch with the headphones for easy storage.
