Amazon Prime Day is winding down, but there are still plenty of great Prime Day deals to be had within the next few hours. That’s particularly true if you’re looking to save a significant amount of money — at least 50% off, to be precise. 

There’s something inherently intriguing about a 50% off sale. After all, almost any product can be a bargain if you slash the price by half.

Amazon is still offering steep discounts on a variety of products, including picks from our best streaming devices, best smart speakers and best PS5 games. The discounts range from $25 off, all the way up to $350 off. Whether you’re in the market for a new phone, a new laptop or even a new piece of cookware, you can get one at half of its usual price. Just be sure to make your purchase on Tuesday (June 22); these deals will most likely end once Prime Day itself does.
