There are two types of online shopping sprees: one consists of splurging on new, exciting items and the other is snapping up all the things you have and absolutely love. I’m currently in my restocking phase, so I’m adding several picks that have become my go-to Amazon finds right to my cart. And everything on this editor-approved list starts at just $8. 

As Real Simple’s Amazon shopping expert, I keep tabs on the best sales and deals around. That also means I’m eyeing which products on my list are finally on sale, and many of my necessities are! Find popular home, fashion, kitchen, and beauty picks that 

I’m either running low on or are thinking about getting in another style from big brands like Gap, Olay, and Yankee Candle for $60 and under. 

Editor-Approved Amazon Weekend Finds 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

Amazon Maybelline New York Lash Sensational Sky High Washable Mascara Makeup, Volumizing, Lengthening, Defining, Curling, Multiplying, Buildable Formula

Amazon

Orig. $13 $10 at Amazon

My lashes are more on the flat, short side, so I went on a hunt to find a mascara that can help give me that va va voom look. The answer ended up being Maybelline’s Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara, which I currently have in this washable and water-proof formula. I’ve used it so much that my current washable option ran dry, so I’m shopping it again. The mascara has a silicone-like brush that gets my lashes from the root to tip. I also love that it lengthens without clumping or weighing my lashes down. And right now, it’s marked down to $9. 

Yankee Candle Sage & Citrus Large Tumbler Candle

Yankee Candle Sage & Citrus Scented

Amazon

Orig. $31 $21 at Amazon

I have so many holiday Yankee Candles, but now that spring and summer is top of mind, I’m in the market for a warm-weather option. This citrus and sage pick is on my radar for spring thanks to its light, lemony notes and cozy herb formula. It has a soy-wax blend, like the Christmas-y candle I have at home, delivering a slower burn aka it’ll last forever. The large candle is designed with two wicks, has a glass cylinder jar, and comes with a metal lid, which acts as a “coaster” while lit. 

Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria Full-Coverage Bra

Victoria's Secret Full Coverage Bra

Amazon

Orig. $50 $38 at Amazon

Comfortable bras are hard to come by, so I’m really excited that Victoria’s Secret is now available at Amazon. I love this classic Victoria’s Secret bra because it gives me a full coverage with just a little bit of lift and tons of support. Made with soft polyamide and stretchy elastane, the bra cups and band both have a buttery feel that’s great against the skin. I also really like the dainty bow and lace details that look so cute. I already have this bra in black, but I’m considering getting it in this toasted sugar option, too.
