Welcome back, Shoppers.

Is there any better feeling than finding a product that doesn’t break the bank and actually works? Not in our eyes. So today we’re sharing endless budget-friendly faves, from comfortable shoes and Pilates-ready hair clips to peanut butter candy and a new mocktail recipe. Take notes, take notes…

The Splurge: Sam Edelman’s Miranda Mary Jane Flat ($130)

• Buy them if you are looking for an elevated alternative to sneakers, love gold hardware, and prefer coverage on the toe cap.

• Skip them if you’re unsure about a square-toed silhouette.

The Save: Zodiac’s Idra Mesh Mary Jane Flat ($44.97)

• Buy them if you’re looking for an affordable event shoe that isn’t heeled, or aren’t quite ready to commit to a completely sheer shoe. PS: These have a less pronounced square toe than the Sam Edelman pair.

• Skip them if looking for a wider mesh netting or want something more sheer.

This Knott Zip Cardholder from Kate Spade. It has a spacious zippered pocket, six card slots, and is currently on sale for $66 with code EXTRA25. It’s made of a durable pebbled leather and we are loving the color choices (classic black, beach glass, and warm taupe). It’ll be on sale, along with other full-priced styles, until April 11.

Looking for a silly little treat? Check out some of our latest random obsessions under $25:

• This flat hair clip (which is perfect for any mat workouts that require laying down).

• A hydrating rosewater sheet mask that won't irritate your skin.

• The peanut butter candy our editor can’t get enough of.
