Truly savvy shoppers know that Prime Day's second act (which is today!) is actually the best time to snap up major markdowns on things like Apple products, vacuums, clothing and kitchen appliances.

But if you'd like to take part in Amazon's time-honored summer shopping extravaganza without spending much money, we have some great news for you. There are tons of useful, fun, whimsical items that are cheaper than your morning latte — we're talking $6 or less.

Of course, you can spend your spare change on boring life necessities like a three-pack of plastic wrap (and you might as well!), but the world of cheap Amazon finds is vast — and it is beautiful. To help you out, we made our way through the maze of Prime Day markdowns (and there are, um, a lot) and picked the best ones that are actually worth your time and money. (Hey, $6 is still $6!) For example, there's the Yahoo editor-approved foot scrub that will get your tootsies shiny and new for that upcoming vacation, and the prettiest set of KitchenAid measuring spoons. Want some more before the sale ends tonight? Get scrolling.

With real gold, hyaluronic acid and other skin-loving ingredients, these eye patches are made to combat wrinkles, dark circles, puffiness and other signs of aging in just 20 minutes. Down to just $4 (that's 60% off), each individual patch will run you back around seven cents. Look, a deal is a deal.

One happy shopper found that the patches rejuvenated and brightened their eyes. They also added: "I keep the jar in the fridge and wear them at night before bed every day."

Another tip? Use them around your lips, cheeks, neck and wherever else you want to target wrinkles and dark circles.

Cars get messy. It's just a fact of life — especially if you're hitting the road with the fam this summer. Thank god car trash cans exist, and this fan-favorite is down 65% for Prime Day. 

The Hotor creates an easy place to dispose of your trash, while the pockets on its sides can keep tissues, wipes and cleaning supplies at the ready. When you're done, fold it away for easy storage. And, yes, the inner lining is waterproof and machine washable. 

"I tried three different car trash cans and this one fit my needs perfectly," wrote one five-star reviewer. "It looks good too. The bag blends right into my black interior so it isn't obvious. I hang it off the back of the center console and it is long enough to hang below the air conditioning vent for the back seat of my Honda CR-V. My dog really appreciates that!"

Pull the string on the back and The Dude will spew lines from the beloved film like: “I am not Mr. Lebowski, you’re Mr. Lebowski. I’m the Dude”, “The Dude abides” and “This rug I had; it really tied the room together.” 

Said a Dude lover: "I'm a huge fan of the movie, and I just love this talking plush Dude! It's a great addition to my collectibles. The quality of the sound is good, it would have been better if it was just a little louder, but I'm still happy with it."

A refreshing 30% off for Prime Day, this rejuvenating mist is packed with aloe, herbs and rose water. Spritz it on your face, neck and even your hair for a hydration fix or a glowy pick-me-up.

This shopper is hooked: "I love this and will never be without it again. I spray on before applying my products. It has changed my aging complexion. A must-have."

Aside from being super-soft and silky smooth, these satin wonders won't pull at your skin or hair like most cotton pillowcases will. And for Prime Day you're getting two — we repeat two — for only $6!

Satin pillowcases "create less friction, so your hair doesn't get tangled in the pillowcases as much," board-certified dermatologist Ife J. Rodney, MD, founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics, tells Yahoo Life. "That prevents your hair from getting broken as you roll around the pillow at night," she adds.

This design boasts an envelope-closure design, so your pillows won’t pop out throughout the night, even if you move around a lot in your sleep.

Need some power? These batteries boast a 10-year-shelf life, and hail from an American brand. Shoppers are impressed!

"Great AA batteries," said a five-star shopper. "I honestly didn't notice a difference between these and Duracell or Energizer that I use in my microphones. They all seemed to last over three hours — cheap garbage brands don't make it that long."

Clumping? Not on our watch. This tiny tool separates mascara-coated lashes in seconds, beautifully defining each one. The result is a natural-looking, clump-free finish that will make everyone wonder whether you're wearing mascara at all.

At more than 50% off for Prime Day, this No. 1 bestselling beauty gizmo is a total steal. It's also way less expensive than getting eyelash extensions, which can run you over $200 — and only last about a week if you don't shower.

Speaking of lovely lashes, Amazon shoppers swear that this $3 mascara gives you the clump-free, voluminous experience of your dreams. What else could you want in a mascara? The formula itself is made without animal byproducts, parabens or fragrances, making it vegan, cruelty-free and safe for sensitive skin. 

"This mascara does exactly what it says," explains one happy Amazon customer. "Big volume and curl but without the clumps, mess, or weirdly heavy look. The wand is easy to use, and it's my new all-time favorite."

If you're going to buy anything from this list, make it this Tide To Go pen. You know the feeling when you get a stain on a brand-new, pretty dress while on a dinner date that even club soda can't take on. That's where the famous orange pen comes in. 

It's only $3 for Prime Day, which is so much cheaper than paying to get those deep-set stains professionally cleaned. Grab a few and keep them in every purse, your car and your office. You never know when disaster will strike.

Think about how many measuring spoons you've lost over the years, whether they disappeared during a move or the invisible kitchen elves took them and they were never to be seen again. At $3, this oh-so-pretty KitchenAid set makes the worthiest replacement. 

They can be used to measure both wet and dry ingredients and are dishwasher-safe. Plus, the spoons nest together on a ring for safe storage and easy hanging.

Said to remove product and oil buildup and promote hair growth, this lightweight and affordable (at just $4) scalp massager is one of the niftier items on this list. It comes in a ton of different colors (prices vary) and fits in the palm of your hand, making it easy to use and travel with.

While more studies need to be done, Dr. Gloria Lin, a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City, told Yahoo that consistently using a scalp massager in your hair wash routine "can lead to increased expression of specific hair cycle-related genes."

Cleaning crumbs out of your car can be difficult enough, but when they fall down into the gaps around your gear shift, it's nearly impossible. Enter: this miracle gel. 

It's not only worth every penny but also really fun to use. Think of it like slime, but for grown-ups. The sticky goo grabs crumbs, dust and other undesirables and makes it easy to clean every nook and cranny.

Neglecting your feet is a no-no when it comes to body care — but that doesn't mean you have to blow a zillion dollars on the fanciest products. Take, for example, this minty, exfoliating, coconut-butter-infused "magic" foot scrub 

Yahoo's beauty editor Jennifer Romolini has been using the Palmer's to soften up her calluses for years. "In my experience, the fancy stuff is rarely a lick better than the old staples," she says of the scrub. "It's an essential product for keeping rough, dry feet hydrated and smooth." 

Plus, it feels good on your skin and — at under $5 —for your wallet.

Why spend upwards of $20 on a TSA-approved travel size of your favorite perfume when you can just use this refillable bottle instead? Not only is it super cute, it's easy to use, durable and, according to reviewers, won't leak. 

You can fill it with more than just perfume. Fill it up with water and throw it in your bag for a refreshing, cool blast of mist while you're out and about.
