It's easy to get caught up in the excitement and "go big" on Amazon Prime Day. But if you've already done that with, say, a laptop or a television, or you haven't found anything worth buying, we put together this list of cool stuff that won't bust your budget.
There's something for everyone here: You'll find deals on smart home gear, computer accessories, games, and more. Our main requirement? An excellent product that would typically set you back more than $50, but won't today. Act fast though, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days end tonight at midnight PT.
The heart of every smart home is simple control: if it's difficult to use, you won't. With an Echo Dot in various rooms of your home, you get easy and fast voice control that anyone can figure out. But lots of smart speakers add up fast. So you should take advantage of this deal that essentially halves the price of the excellent Echo Dot. As a bonus, it puts out better sound than most speakers this size, so you can also use it for music.
Our Echo Dot 5th Gen Review
It's nice to know what's going on at home, even when you're out and about. With an indoor camera you can check in on children, pets, and just make sure no one is in your home that shouldn't be. The 2nd Gen Ring Indoor camera keeps everything good about the first model, like 1080p resolution and two-way talk. And it adds one very important feature: a privacy shutter. Sometimes you may not want a camera streaming, and a physical shutter adds peace of mind that you have true privacy.

Wireless controllers are nice and convenient, but you know what else they are? Expensive. If you don't mind tethering to your Xbox, you can save a bundle (especially with this sale) by grabbing this PowerA controller for Xbox Series X|S. It comes with a 9.8ft detachable cord, dual rumble motors, and mappable buttons. Not bad considering you're spending less than half the price for a wireless model.
Cuphead is a great game if you love a title that's difficult to beat. Originally an Xbox exclusive, this platformer made the jump to Nintendo Switch, high difficulty level and all. Even if you don't love challenging platformers, Cuphead is worth a buy just to see the levels alone. They're hand drawn in a classic cartoon style from the 1930s. You even get the Delicious Last Course expansion at no extra cost, a nice bonus considering it's on sale
