When someone says sale, I imagine huge discounts. I can't be moved by 5%, 10%, or 15%, I want my Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals huge. It's 50% or more or nothing for me. Even as the whole 48-hour spend and save fest comes to a close, I find there are still a ton of massive discounts on all sorts of useful, fun, and strange products. 

Considering the cost-of-living crunch we're all going through, everyone should be asking for nothing less than half off of everything. We need affordable tablets, components, luggage, furniture, toys, clothes, and more.

Let's save some real money before the day is done, Amazon Prime prices go back to normal and we have to wait for Black Friday or Cyber Monday for our next big savings opportunities.

Here are my top 50% off Amazon Prime Day Deals.

And at about $19, it's a sensible purchase.
