The best Black Friday deals you can grab for less than $50
Not every Black Deal should cost you a small fortune. Here, we’ve rounded up a collection of chargers, earbuds, smart displays, and other inexpensive tech for less than $50.
We’ve sifted through the deluge of deals at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers to bring you an assortment of cheaper deals below, several of which can be had for as little as $10. And while you’ve likely heard of many of these items before — AirTags, anyone? — we’ve also made an effort to include lesser-known favorites of ours, like Sharge’s adorable Retro 67 charger, Anker’s gym-friendly Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds, and Hoto’s ultra-handy electric screwdriver.
Obviously, we can’t guarantee you’ll end up spending less than $50 at checkout, but at least you can start whatever spending spree you may or may not be on with a few inexpensive items.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the captivating sequel to 2019’s Fallen Order, one that continues the story of Cal Kestis and his little droid, BD-1.
