Once upon a time, a high price tag meant you were spending your money on a high-quality item — this is no longer the case. I'm not saying that picking up a $2 pet rock is going to end well for anyone involved, but in this day and age, you can definitely get by with spending less than $30 for most things.
Maybe you're in the market for a personal blender, or maybe you're looking for a miniature electric griddle? Regardless of whether you have a product in mind, or if you're just browsing around for fun, take a gander at these genius gadgets you can find on Amazon. They won't break the bank, and they're certainly more useful than that pet rock — no matter what the price tag reads.
