Cyber Monday is here, and while the spotlight often shines on big-ticket items like discounted Xbox and PS5 consoles, there’s a wealth of affordable tech and gaming finds worth your attention. Whether you’re upgrading your setup or looking for budget-friendly gadgets, this year's deals under $50 prove you don’t have to break the bank to snag quality gear.
From wallet-friendly games to power banks and smart home essentials, there’s something for everyone. And the best part? We’re keeping this list updated throughout Cyber Monday, so be sure to bookmark this page and check back for the latest deals all day long.
Board Game Deals Under $50
We're talking board games of all kinds for Cyber Monday, from the classics your parents grew up playing to bleeding-edge new games all the cool kids are talking about. Incredible games are down to some rock bottom and limited time prices, including Azul for $13.33, Camel Up, Splendor, and more. Azul is one of the best new board games released in recent years, and our Azul review, Matt Thrower said:
"Between its beautiful presentation, simplicity and depth there’s little doubt that Azul has earned its place as a modern classic. While the tinkering with its formula undertaken by its sequels has created more challenging games, none has captured the fine blend of accessibility and interactivity that makes it special."
Gaming Deals Under $50
Lenovo just dropped the best Xbox controller deal we’ve seen this Cyber Monday. Right now, you can grab the Xbox Wireless Controller in Robot White or Electric Volt for just $34.99.
Plus, there's a whole bunch more gaming deals to check out before the sales end today, including big discounts on Metal Gear Solid, Prince of Persia, and more. You'll be hard-pressed to find any offers better than these over Cyber Monday — add to cart!
Hulu Black Friday: $0.99/Month for a Year
Hulu stands out as one of the top streaming platforms today, yet it’s often underrated. With critically acclaimed movies like Anatomy of a Fall and Talk to Me, and standout, Emmy-winning TV series such as Shogun, Abbott Elementary, The Bear, and Only Murders in the Building, there’s always something exceptional to watch.
This Cyber Monday, Hulu is dirt cheap and available for just $0.99/month for an entire year – down from $9.99/month, and at 90% off that's hard to beat. Similarly, the Disney+ bundle is offered at $2.99/month for a year, down from $10.99/month, making these some of the best Black Friday streaming deals available.
Home and Personal Care Deals
Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy are all one-stop shopping sites, so it makes sense that their Cyber Monday sales extend beyond gaming and tech.
Here are the best deals I've seen so far on small kitchen appliances, personal care products like hair dryers and toothbrushes, vacuum cleaners, and other convenient necessities that everyone – gamers included – might find useful.
4K UHD Deals Under $50
Amazon is cutting prices on tons of Blu-rays and 4K UHD discs. Luckily, the quality of the movies in Amazon's online equivalent of a bargain bin is quite good.
We've found a bunch of great movies for ultra-cheap, including The Batman, The Thing at its lowest price since last year, Across the Spider-Verse, Gladiator, Blade Runner: Final Cut, and loads more.
Audible: $0.99/Month, $20 Free Credit
From now until December 31, non-current Audible subscribers are eligible for three months of Audible Premium Plus for $0.99 per month and a bonus one-time $20 Audible credit. Premium Plus is Audible's best plan and three months would normally cost you about $44.95.
You also get a free audiobook of your choice each month that you get to keep indefinitely. This is one of our favorite deals of the whole Black Friday sale, and well worth picking up.
Best Tech Deals Under $50
There's plenty of impressive tech deals to check out over Cyber Monday, but here's a few favorites under $50, and plenty for even less than $25 as well.
Highlights include a superb MagSafe charger for your Apple iPhone 16; the Baseus 5,000mAh 20W MagSafe Power Bank is priced down to only $12.16 after a clippable 24% off coupon.
There's also the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, at a record-low price of $32.99, and the perfect purchase for anyone looking to dabble in Xbox Game Pass cloud streaming.
What Is Cyber Monday?
Traditionally, Black Friday was the in-store shopping frenzy, while Cyber Monday focused on online deals. While those lines have blurred, Cyber Monday remains the top event for online-focused retailers like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, and Lenovo. Even traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart roll out exclusive online-only offers. Switch and PS5 deals are also now live.
Many of the same deals from Black Friday normally return for Cyber Monday 2024, including some that sold out or expired. Retailers often stagger their inventory, reserving stock for each major sale event. This means Cyber Monday will bring back popular deals alongside brand-new, never-before-seen offers. But, most importantly, Cyber Monday is the final day of the Black Friday sale season, with all the deals going with it.
