40 Life-Changing Things You Can Buy on Amazon for Less Than a Dollar (2025)

One of the most satisfying things about shopping on Amazon is the ability to compare prices to make sure you're getting the best deal possible. But when it comes to the absolute cheapest things you can buy on Amazon, there's no need for all that extra legwork! While the e-tailer is known for its epic Prime Day deals, there are plenty of shockingly affordable products to discover on Amazon every single day.

Our sales and deals editors scoured the site to find the best things you can buy on Amazon for $1 or less. From handy kitchen tools to brilliant home items, these smart yet cheap products will save you money and hopefully make your day-to-day a little bit easier. But fair warning — the prices listed here don't always include free Amazon Prime shipping, so prepare to shell out anywhere from $2 to $10 on that (we've noted when free shipping is available for the products on this list). You should also be aware that we have not personally tested all of the products featured here, so it's always possible that some of these bargain deals might not end up being the best quality. But if you're willing to take the risk, these finds can make great stocking stuffers and cheap holiday gifts, in particular.
