A $50 budget doesn't always yield the best results — unless, of course, you're shopping at Target. Between the store's thoughtful curations, collaborations with big-name designers and its famed Target-exclusive brands, the retailer always has new budget-friendly items to discover. The only downside? There's a lot to look through. Because not every affordable product is worth the money, we've pulled together our favorite Target finds under $50 that look surprisingly high-end.
As shopping editors who spend all day reviewing home and lifestyle products, we know exactly which items should be in your next Target haul. That includes Good Housekeeping Institute-tested favorites like our experts' best overall cast iron skillet, a GH Kitchen Gear Award-winning toaster and the ever-popular Owala FreeSip water bottle. Plus, we spotted plenty of adorable upgrades for just $10 (!), like a pack of sculptural taper candles and a speckled ceramic desktop lamp.
