These finds under $50 are some of our very favorites. (Amazon)(Amazon)
As a shopping expert, my job is to always be on the lookout for deep discounts, which means I know what makes a great deal — and what you may want to hold off on. While I've splurged on must-haves from time to time (I can't resist a new product launch or a pricey celeb-approved item – I'm only human!), when I do find a gem that's budget-friendly, I call that a win. The sweet spot for a must-have item is usually around $50 — I like to think of it as my Goldilocks price point. And right now, Amazon's Big Spring Sale is on for one final day, with no shortage of awesome stuff for $50 or less.
From my everyone's favorite tumbler, to the superstar portable speaker of this summer, to an 11-piece dynamo cookware set, below are 10 deals under $50 that I truly believe are worth buying any time, but especially now that they're on sale. And if you're on the hunt for even more fantastic finds, check out my top 10 Amazon Spring Sale deals for under $25. But don't wait — these special prices won't last for much longer.

After you've cooked up a bunch of meals, you'll need something to store them in. These glass containers are a Yahoo editor and reader favorite that almost seems too good to be true.

If the Echo Dot feels like overkill, the Echo Pop is the more-subtle solution you've been waiting for.

Compact, functional and affordable — it's a win for anyone looking to upgrade without the extra bulk.
This travel-friendly Bluetooth speaker is a must-have for those carefree summer days. It's waterproof, dustproof and boasts five hours of battery life on a single charge, so you can bring it along on all of your adventures. Perfect for road trips, pool days and camping, you might be surprised at just how often you reach for it.
This small yet mighty speaker comes in more than 10 colors and hasn't been this affordable in months. I've been using JBL speakers practically my whole life and can't wait to get my hands on this teeny-tiny model.
One music-minded shopper called the speaker "addicting" and added: "I bring it everywhere... In the shower, while working, I love this thing. It gets SO LOUD for the size. It is amazing."
Whether you're buying your first Stanley tumbler or your 10th, now's the time to add one to your cart.

So trust us when we say this is one purchase you won't regret.
One pleased customer shared: "I love this cup! It's tough, pretty, easy to clean, and I've dropped it a few times with little to no leakage. It's pricey, but for me, I use it all the time to keep my icy drinks chilly, so it's worth it."
It's true: You can achieve a red carpet-worthy blowout right at home if you have the right tools — and no, you don't have to be a beauty pro to do it. Revlon's One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler is like a hair dryer and round brush in one, so you can easily dry your hair while effortlessly adding volume and even soft curls.
Take it from Yahoo senior beauty editor Jennifer Romolini, who says Revlon's hot tool "is totally upping my game. It's meant to make hair look as smooth and silky as it does after a salon blowout, and it's honestly pretty much dummy-proof too." Romolini even listed the beauty must-have as one of her favorite beauty items of 2024.
This deep-conditioning mask contains two of Dr. Reed's favorite ultra-nourishing ingredients: jojoba seed oil and glycerin. Its texture is luxurious, rich and creamy without weighing your hair down.
