I found the 101+ best cheap Prime Day deals that are actually worth buying – tech, gift ideas, and Lego from $5

Amazon's October Prime Day sale, officially named Prime Big Deal Days, is scheduled for today and ends tomorrow at Midnight PDT.

Similar to Amazon's July Prime Day sale, you will need a Prime membership to access most deals. If you aren't already a member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial.

As in years past, retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are hosting competing sale events to capture a share of the Prime Day market.

The Echo Show 5 would make a fantastic Christmas gift idea, and it's currently on sale for its lowest price yet for Prime Day.

The 2023 Echo Show 5 features a compact 5.5-inch display but packs impressive sound with deeper bass and clearer vocals. With Amazon Alexa, you can listen to podcasts, movies, music, and more.

Like Amazon, Walmart is also hosting a major October sales event. The sale is imaginatively called 'Walmart deals', which must have taken them a while to come up with.

Either way, the retailer's discounts are fantastic today if you're looking for things like Halloween or holiday decor. I've attached an overview of the sale below, but you can also view my recent article to explore our recommended deals.

Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sale includes several TV deals with incredible prices. One of my favorites is Amazon's 50-inch 4-Series 4K Fire TV, now on sale for just $259.99 – a record-equalling low price.

One of today's best Prime Day Apple deals and the cheapest AirPods you can buy is the all-new AirPods 4 for only $89. That's a return to the record-low price, making it an excellent deal for a pair of Apple earbuds.

Apple's newest earbuds feature a new comfortable design, handy controls, and Apple's H2 chip, which supports personalized spatial audio and voice isolation. The AirPods 4 also come with a case that provides 30 hours of battery life and supports wireless charging via USB-C.

The most significant upgrade compared to the previous generation model is the latest A16 chip, which provides faster performance. You also get double the storage of 128GB as standard, a sharp 11-inch Liquid Retina display, and solid 12MP front and back cameras.

I include these pillows in every holiday roundup, not only because they're wildly popular but also because Amazon frequently discounts them at an ultra-affordable price.
