We’re overjoyed and over the moon about Amazon Prime Day 2022 — even though it’s over.

One thing we’re not overzealous about, though, is inflation. In fact, a June reading released by the Labor Department sites inflation hit 9.1% last month — a record high in more than a generation.

This year, we Prime Day had a much different feel to it. Of course, Amazon dished out some of the best prices ever on high-ticket items like outdoor patio furniture and mattresses, but we can attest the deals are (still!) just as good for practical items less than $25.

That said, we rounded up the 25 best useful and budget-friendly items you can add to your Amazon cart even after Prime Day. Some are house cleaning products to keep on hand, while others are great value, bulk-sized offerings to take advantage of.

Even though we hunted down the best inexpensive buys, it’s important you, as the reader (and shopper), understand that the word “deal” has a completely new meaning this year given the escalating prices we’ve seen.

“Shoppers should know that just because a product is marked down does not guarantee that it’s a good deal,” Kristin McGrath, shopping expert and editor of The Real Deal by RetailMeNot, told The Post. “It’s not uncommon for companies to mark up an item before putting it on sale, so knowing the product’s price history is a great way to really know if the price you’re paying is truly considered a good deal.”

Ahead, we share the expertise provided by our shopping experts, along with the best practical buys under $25 to add to your Amazon cart today and tomorrow for Prime Day sales.

A good deal, according to Kristen Gall, Rakuten’s Retail & Shopping Expert, is found when you know for certain that the sought after product will not be found for a cheaper price than what is currently marked down to, ensuring it is below retail value.

“If a product isn’t specific to a certain store, such as shopping for electronics, groceries and other related categories, do your research to see if you can find what you are looking to purchase for a better price elsewhere,” she suggests.

Our recent survey also revealed that 88% of those who have Prime memberships say they’ll shop on Prime Day this year. However, while they’ll be shopping the event, they’re not going as big. The average Prime Day shopper plans to spend $388 on Prime Day this year, a stark drop-off from 2021, when we saw an average planned Prime Day spend of $594.

“The word ‘deal’ takes on a new meaning with inflation because prices are so high, so the deals are feeling a bit lackluster for many consumers,” Gall notes. With this, we’re seeing a surplus of inventory in stores, forcing retailers to discount many products and offer up  sales to clear their inventory.

Because of this, consumers quickly have to adjust to another “new normal” as inflation hits 40-year highs. “Amid all this interest in gathering and spending, consumers are continuing to change their shopping habits and mindsets to accommodate increasing prices,” McGrath adds. “That means tightening budgets for upcoming events, cutting down on nonessentials and turning to couponing and other money-saving tactics.”

Amazon has a track record of offering lowest-of-the-year pricing on popular tech products during Prime Day, especially its own products. According to McGrath, here’s what you should add to your shopping cart for the best value:
