With more than a million deals live worldwide, combing through all the best Prime Day 2020 deals is no easy a feat.

That’s why our shopping experts here at HuffPost Finds have been combing through Amazon’s list of Prime Day deals for several days in order to find you, our readers, the best deals you actually need to know about, from Black-owned businesses on Amazon to support on Prime Day, to small businesses you can shop on Amazon to alternative Prime Day deals that aren’t on Amazon at all.

With Prime Day and Black Friday only about five weeks apart this year, experts agree you might want to hold off on big electronics purchases like a TVs until those Black Friday sales roll around for the best bang for your bucks.

But that doesn’t mean you should skip Prime Day’s deals all together.

Instead, some of the best Prime Day deals worth your time might be on things like furniture, home decor, Halloween decorations and even smaller household finds that you’ll get a lot of use out of, like silicone food storage bags to replace plastic bags, a digital thermometer and silicone stretch lids to declutter your Tupperware drawer once and for all.

If you’re all set on big-ticket purchases but still want to browse some of Prime Day’s more affordable deals you’ll get some use out of, we’ve pulled together a list of the under $50 (but mostly under $20!) Prime Day deals we think every household could use.

Take a look below:
