Considering how expensive, well… everything is these days, the return of the Black Friday holiday shopping weekend might feel a little anticlimactic. Chances are, partaking in Black Friday might even feel like a non-option for you this year — even if you’re in urgent need of a new pair of snow boots or reliable luggage.
As it turns out, though, some of the best travel deals happening at Amazon this weekend cost much less than you might imagine. To prove it, we scoured the sales sections to find many under-$50 travel deals for shoppers on a budget — and we were shocked at how many amazing discounts there are. Keep reading to dive into the 58 best under-$50 Amazon deals on everything from hardside luggage to comfy travel shoes to tech gear.
Best Overall Deals Under $50
Ahead, you’ll find super-low prices on top brands, like these New Balance Men’s 997H V1 Sneaker, $27 off, and this extra-large Samsonite Duffel Bag, $11 off. These handpicked travel deals are temporary, however, so word to the wise: If you see something you like, take advantage of these prices while they still last.
Best Luggage and Bag Deals Under $50
While it’s true that some of the best luggage deals happening this Black Friday are in the triple digits price-wise, Amazon has plenty of discounts on suitcases, weekender bags, carry-ons, and backpacks on sale for under $50.

Too, this Samsonite duffel bag is just $28 right now, while this two-piece luggage set is just $35.
Hyc00 Duffel Bag
One of the very best weekender bags we’ve ever tested, the Hyc00 boasts the style and durability of more expensive bags, all while meeting airline carry-on restrictions.
