28 name-brand Prime Day deals under $25, starting at $11
Popular Science...
Under $25 is the sleeper tier of Prime Day. The savings look small next to the headline TV and laptop deals, but this is the stuff that actually gets used every day, and the picks below are name brands worth owning instead of the no-name filler that floods the sale. Most are members-only prices, so a Prime membership or a free 30-day Prime trial covers you through the event, June 23 to 26.

Best deal under $25, an all-time low at 68% off
The Blink Mini 2 at $12.99 is the best sub-$25 deal of the sale, an all-time low. It’s a sharp little indoor camera with HD video, night vision, and Alexa support, and at $13 you can scatter a few around the house. It plugs into an outlet and sets up in minutes. For the price, nothing else here is more useful.

Best charger under $25, an all-time low
The Anker Nano 65W charger at $19.99 is the best charger deal under $25, an all-time low. The 65 watts is enough to fast-charge a phone, a tablet, or most laptops from one compact GaN brick.
