Everything is expensive now —except these Amazon Prime Day deals under $25

Must read

Prime Day has arrived, and we’re all beginning to think about what we should be spending our precious, hard-earned dollars on.

It’s a new year, but the story remains largely the same. Consumers are pinched. Many still feel the burn of sticky inflation rates, jumping interest rates, and a weak job market. Extravagant purchases may not be in the cards this time of year, but shopping economically could be the new, hot thing. Really, who doesn’t want a snazzy pair of kitchen shears for 50% off? Or a brand-new mini grill for $24?

Even those who crave luxury can score great budget-friendly finds on Prime Day. Prime members can take advantage of free one and two-day delivery on more lavish finds, like the Laniege Water Mask, the beloved Mario Badescu Drying Cream, or a brand-new glossy cast iron skillet, which all come in at just under $25.

In an effort to save you time and money, the Post Wanted team has rounded up some of the most popular picks that won’t break the bank. This list is stacked with household items you’ll be using this summer and all year around.
