You could spend a lot on gadgets in our main October Prime Day roundup and get maybe one or two things. That’s all well and good, but you could spend as much (or less) and have a bunch of items arrive at your home instead. If you’re on a tight budget, or you just have an eye for affordable tech, we’ve made this roundup for you. It contains deals we’ve found during October Prime Day that are $25 or less.
True, this post contains fewer items this year than in previous years. It seems like everything is more expensive, which stinks. Still, there are some goodies within that we think you’ll like. We’ll add to this post as the sale goes on with notable discounts.
