We've searched high and low to find the best deals under $100, meaning you don't have to. Just be aware that these are limited-time. Act fast not to miss out. 

CNET's Stephanie Barnes has nearly a decade of experience covering tech and is using her experience to help readers score some of the best deals you'll find right now at Amazon. She and other members of our dedicated deals team have combed through page after page of offers to bring you some of Amazon's best budget-friendly bargains on a variety of tech, as well as home goods, personal care products and more.

Here's the best Amazon deal under $100 right now

The Logitech Blue Yeti microphone is one of the most popular microphones for podcasting due to its affordability, quality and the number of influencers, celebrities and professional podcast hosts that use them. Now down to $85, this is only $5 away from the lowest price we've ever seen. Three colours are up for grabs -- midnight blue, black and silver -- with the mic itself having Bluetooth support, four pickup patterns for speech an adjustable stand as well as a simple plug-and-play setup.

It seems like everyone has a podcast or a YouTube channel these days. If you want to hop on that bandwagon, you'll definitely need a good microphone. This deal isn't the lowest-ever price we've seen for the Logitech Blue Yeti model, but it's still a decent price cut, with savings of $45. It's available in midnight blue, black or silver. The Yeti works just as well for Zoom meetings.

For some folks, that early morning coffee is essential, and this Keurig K-Express is a fine companion. Not only is it easy to fit into a small kitchen, but it's also small enough to put in a bag, so if you travel a lot, you can always have fresh coffee. It can brew in three sizes -- 8-, 10- or 12-ounce cups -- and comes with a 42-ounce reservoir. 

The latest Madden game is down to its lowest price at Amazon yet. Developed by EA, it's available for $35 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 4 - if you've not upgraded to a next-gen console yet.

These Kasa Mini smart plugs are an easy and affordable way to add some serious convenience to your home. They allow you to turn your devices on or off from anywhere using your phone, or create an automated schedule based on your daily routines. Plus, you can even control them hands-free with Siri, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant (with a compatible smart speaker or display).

If you're looking for a budget-friendly monitor that has a decent display, several ports and a game mode, then this 22-inch Samsung S33A is worth considering. It's on sale for $80, giving you $35 in savings.

How we choose the best Amazon deals at CNET

Amazon offers literally thousands of deals every day, which can make finding the true bargains a little tough. That's why CNET's dedicated deals team primarily focuses on products that have been tested, reviewed and recommended by our resident tech experts. We've rounded up some of the best under $100 offers available on our preferred products, as well as some standout deals being offered by trusted brands.

Amazon sells products in pretty much every category, so no matter what you're looking to buy, you can probably get it on Amazon. Better yet, the retailer offers new deals every day so there's a good chance you can save on your next purchase, especially if you use these money-saving tips.

Amazon offers a rotating selection of deals year-round, but the very biggest discounts typically happen during its major shopping events. These include Prime Day in July, Prime Big Deal Days in October, and Black Friday/Cyber Monday in November.

Some Amazon deals you come across may seem too good to be true, and unfortunately, sometimes that is the case. One of the best ways to vet these offers and avoid getting scammed is by checking the seller information, which can be found on the product page just below the "Buy Now" button. It's a safe bet if the product is being sold and shipped by Amazon or the original manufacturer, but you should exercise caution if it's a third-party vendor. Not all third-party sellers are untrustworthy by any means, but it's definitely worth checking the reviews to see other customers' experiences.

Amazon offers so many deals that finding the true bargains takes a little legwork. One of the best ways to start cutting through the clutter is by heading to the daily deals page and filtering it by trending or lightning deals, which will show you some of the most popular offers at the moment. Another good way to filter out some of the junk offers is by adding a minimum price and discount to your search. It's also very important to look beyond just the listed discount, as many products also feature on-page coupons that can be redeemed for additional savings. Amazon Prime members also get access to some exclusive offers.
