Wait, These Under-$50 Buys From Amazon Are Blowing My Mind

It's pretty easy to spend over $50 these days. Even an unassuming run to the grocery store can leave you with a groan-inducing receipt, and don't get us started on the rising cost of apartment rent and other necessary living expenses. Inflation is just one of those life things we all must deal with, but thankfully when it comes to our wardrobes, you can still find that don't make your checking account cringe.
Don't have the time to scour the internet and unearth these budget-friendly treasures? Worry not, friends—we've done that for you. Taking to Amazon, we searched high and low for the cutest trend pieces to wear all spring and summer long that all ring in at under $50. From a cool tie-dye tee that might as well be from Proenza Schouler to a pair of simple, sleek sandals you can wear with literally everything in your closet, the 18 items below are worth taking a gander at.
Yep, the most viral item of 2019 is $3 and from Amazon—have you bought it yet?
