Amazon Prime Day 2026 is in full swing, and the event has unleashed hundreds, if not thousands, of discounts across every corner of the platform. Laptops, TVs, smartphones, gaming, and more are seeing price cuts, but some of the best value actually lies in the sub-$100 category. You don't need to spend a ton of money to find useful gadgets, from headphones to Wi-Fi routers.
