13 Best Prime Day Deals Under $50 (October 2024)

Once again, another Amazon Prime Day has come around and there are a lot of good deals to be had. Whether you need something for around the house, or you want to get your hands on a gaming bargain, there’s something for everyone. 

The following deals are only available this Amazon Prime Day, which is October 8-9, 2024. I’ve scoured the site for the best deals, and admittedly this is a very mixed bag, but here are the best deals I found. 

Amazon Echo Spot (2024)

If you’re looking for something that can act as not only your home assistant but your alarm clock too, then look no further. The Echo Spot does everything any other Echo does, including controlling your lighting, playing your music, and basically just making life easier all around. Plus, it’s nice to look at, as far as alarm clocks go, and is newly released for 2024. 

Amazon Fire 7 Inch Kids Tablet

While nobody is suggesting that you supplement parenting for time spent on a tablet, there’s no denying that sometimes as parents we just need a little bit of peace and tablets are a great way to get it. This Amazon Fire Kids Tablet has a 7-inch screen, a reassuring amount of parental control, and thanks to the built-in case and stand, it’s incredibly difficult for even the most determined of children to wreck it. And even if they do, it comes with a two-year guarantee which means that if it does happen to break, you’ll get a free replacement. 

Fullstar Vegetable Chopper

Now I know that this is a bizarre choice, but hear me out. I’ve got one, and I use it every single day and I honestly don’t think I could go back to not having one. No more crying when cutting onions, perfectly diced vegetables every single time without fail, and cleaning it is an absolute breeze. Seriously, while I’ll openly admit that this is a very weird example for this list, the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper is a culinary game-changer. 

Corsair M65 Gaming Mouse

Admittedly just a smidge under the $50 budget that’s been set, you cannot go wrong with a Corsair mouse. The Corsair M65 is packed with high-tech features which will allow you to fine tune your mouse movement, and keep your gaming smooth. It has eight tunable buttons and a 26,000 DPI optical sensor, and you can even change the RGB lighting to suit your mood. I mean look at this thing, it’s beautiful!

PowerA Mario Wireless Switch Controller 

Although this might not seem like the biggest discount, and it’s definitely not the biggest discount on this list, the PowerA Mario Wireless Switch Controller is perfect for gaming fanatics, whether they’re a seasoned veteran or just getting into gaming. If you have a Switch gamer in your life who is a fan of Mario — and let’s face it, they likely are — then this would make one hell of a Christmas gift.  And yes, it is officially licensed by Nintendo.

SanDisk 256GB microSDXC Card 

You cannot go wrong with more storage for the Nintendo Switch, and this Sandisk 256GB MicroSDXC Card is perfect, especially given the official Nintendo Switch branding, complete with Super Star motif. It’s also specifically designed and tested on Nintendo Switch, so you can play with the peace of mind that your save files and screenshots are truly protected. At half price, there’s no better time to get this in your basket. 

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Hardcover Box Set

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a collection of five books that sees Percy in cahoots with Greek Gods in the 21st century. This box set includes all five books, bound in hardcover with beautiful cover art and the spines come together to form waves. This set is perfect for any teenager wanting to get into the series, or anyone older who has fond memories of the series from their younger years. 

The Lord of the Rings Hardcover Box Set

Whether you’ve read the books before, or simply seen the movie adaptations, this Lord of the Rings Box Set is an absolute must for any fan of the franchise. Including The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King, this set allows you to really immerse yourself in the world of Tolkien, which is something that everyone should do at least once in their lives. 

HP DeskJet 2755e Wireless Color Printer

Everybody needs a good printer in their house, whether for printing for a fun hobby or for dealing with the taxing parts of life. This HP 2755e is compact, sleek, and comes with 3 months of ink included as part of the deal. You can print 7 black and white pages a minute, or 5 pages if you want some color, and everything is controlled via the HP Smart app. 

Indiana Jones Ultra-HD 4K Collection

The Indiana Jones movies are absolute classics, and there’s no better way to enjoy them than in Ultra-HD 4K. This box set has a massive 68% off this Prime Day, so there’s no better time to sit back, grab some popcorn, and binge-watch Indie’s adventures through history. 

Catan

Catan is a board game that’s come up a few times here at Destructoid, and for good reason. For three to four players, Catan is a game of strategy, where you compete to expand your territories. Fall is the perfect time to shut the curtains and block out the world while losing yourself in a game of Catan. 

Pokémon Charizard Deluxe Collector’s Statue 

If you’ve got a Pokémon fan in your life, then now is the perfect time to get ahead on the Christmas gift purchasing. This Charizard Deluxe Collector’s Statue is absolutely beautiful, and anyone who has been a fan of Pokémon for a long time, as well as new fans, will appreciate having it on display somewhere in their house. 

Galaxy Projector

With the evenings getting darker and the nights getting longer, it can feel pretty gloomy inside the house. This Galaxy Projector not only lights up the room, but it adds some much-needed color into your space while things are grey outside, and also plays white noise to aid sleep. It comes with a remote control that means you don’t even need to get up to change the lighting, making it perfect for cozy nights spent reading in bed, and isn’t that one of the joys of Fall?
