It's no secret that life can be expensive, but that doesn't change the fact that there will always be items we want and need to buy. As a deals writer, my job is to bring you the very best bargains — and this weekend, I'm seeing some extra impressive deals to fit any budget. In fact, many price tags just so happen to be under the $50 mark.

For instance, you can snag the Brightech Outdoor String Lights for just $21, which hold the number one spot on our guide to the best solar lights. If you're looking for a pair of quality-yet-affordable headphones, we recommend the Sony WH-CH520, which are marked down to the low price of $39. Plus, you can grab the ultra popular Stanley Quencher H2.0 Tumbler for just $26.

From running sneakers and bluetooth speakers to handy kitchen appliances and outdoor essentials, I've rounded up 21 weekend deals that won't cost a penny over $49.99. Keep scrolling to check them out.
