Amazon sells a veritable cornucopia of products - from the best budget Amazon buys to products you can spend thousands on. And those deals only get better when sales periods like Cyber Monday kick into gear. Pretty much anything you want, they’ll have it (or a passable version of it, at the very least).
This can get pretty expensive, especially if you have Prime. We all know how easy it is to click ‘Buy Now’ about four thousand times every time you hit the site – and our bank balances are not happy about it.
But do not fear. We’ve scoured the depths of Amazon to find the very best bargains on offer, from Amazon Basics to bigger brands dropping their prices for the seasonal sales. Your wallet will thank us.

Amazon's Cyber Monday sales highlights
Best cheap Amazon buys
1. EMPO eye and sleep mask
Alright, yes, it does look a bit scary – it’s more AntMan than it is VOGUE, let’s be honest. But if you struggle with your sleep, the EMPO eye and sleep mask could be a good thing to pick up.
The mask is made of memory foam, meaning that it doesn’t rub and sits comfortably on your face all night. It promises to block out all light, so again, if you’re a troubled sleeper– or you work shifts and have to sleep during the day – it could be a big help.
It also comes with earplugs – so you might end up having the soundest sleep of your life.
2. AmazonBasics 4 cube wire storage shelves
Finding somewhere to store everything (books, CDs, kitchenware, various assorted crap you’ve somehow managed to accumulate over the year) can be quite a challenge. And finding storage that also looks good is something else entirely.
These wire storage shelves may be the answer. Simple, stylish and easy to assemble at home, they’re the perfect way to keep your home tidy. The set comes in black and white, too, so you can be sure it’s going to coordinate no matter how you’ve decorated.
3. Beast Rope by Beast Gear
Yes, this is a skipping rope. So if you're on a serious budget you could look elsewhere and get one for just a couple of quid. But if you want to use skipping to up your cardio, HIIT or boxing training game, then it's worth investing in a heavy duty one, like the Beast Rope from Beast Gear. This skipping rope has a steal wire with a protective cover, making it super durable for both indoor and outdoor skipping. Its ball bearing system means it spins incredibly fast and it's also got an anti-tangle rope. Which means this couldn't be further from those rubbish skipping ropes you used in PE that were light, floppy and full of knots.
4. AmazonBasics dumbbell pair
Want to get fit but don’t have the spare cash (or, frankly, the motivation) to hit the gym every day? These dumbbells might be for you.
Easy grip and available in two sizes (3g and 5g), these are great for working out at home or taking to a fitness class with you (although we quite like the idea of getting fit without ever leaving the house).
5. Sony foldable headphones
There are lots of very, very expensive headphones out there – and if you’re a real audiophile, you’re probably not going to go for a pair of £15 headphones.
But if you’re looking for something good quality and easy to carry around, you could do much worse than these. Comfortable, good value for money and, importantly, foldable, they’re a great bargain buy.
