1. Less than $25: The cult-favorite Squatty Potty that 30,000 Amazon shoppers swear by

There's a reason this stool is so popular.

Featured on season six of Shark Tank, the 4.7-star rated Squatty Potty is one of the best-known items to come out of the show. We've actually put it to the test ourselves, and consider it a weird gem that actually works. Here's how: This stool is designed to readjust your bathroom posture in order to relax the Puborectalis muscle, which helps the body maintain a tight grip around your you-know-what that so evacuation of waste doesn't happen spontaneously. This stool, in turn, realigns your body in a manner that reportedly makes it easier to take care of your backdoor business. Originally $26.98, it's on sale for $24.99, but if you click the on-page coupon located underneath the price, it falls to an even lower price of $22.49 for roughly 16% off.

2. Save $9: One of the best mandolines we've ever used

Slice cucumbers and other mouthwatering delights with ease.

Chances are, you don't think much about mandolines—until you need one, that is. When it comes to slicing up vegetables these kitchen tools can be awesome, as they help to create uniform, ultra-thin bites with every pass of the blade and keep fingers safer than they might be while wielding a chef's knife. Right now, the 4.6-star rated Prepworks by Progressive adjust-a-slice mandoline is on sale for a marvelous low price. Originally $23.80, it's currently discounted to $14.67 (you could also get it for $13.99 at Zulily, but you'll also have to pay $5.99 for shipping). In testing, we found that this kitchen gadget—which has 3,600 enthusiastic reviews on Amazon—performed nearly as well as our overall favorite, the KitchenAid adjustable hand-held V-blade mandoline (out of stock online), despite its low price point. It comes with a julienne blade attachment as well as blade-sized switches, which allow you to adjust and dice food with greater ease. This model was the heaviest of the hand-held options we tried, but we also found it to be the most eye-catching, so it'll look stylish in your kitchen.

The Echo Show 5 fits into small spaces while still bringing all Alexa has to offer.

Even better, you can get it now for an unbelievably good markdown. Originally $89.99, it drops to $44.99, for $45 off. With its 4.6-star rating and close to 250,000 rave reviews on Amazon, this is one of the most popular products on the site, and for good reason. This compact Echo is ideal for kitchen countertops, where you can use it to set timers, play music, follow along with your favorite recipes and more, which is why we dubbed it the overall best display-screen option you can buy if you're looking for an Alexa-equipped device.
