The current HumbleBumble deal has 500 Amazon coins for the "Pay what you want" price. The minimum you can pay is $1. So you can get 500 coins (worth $5 in app purchases) for $1. There are several other game items on the list, but nothing too special as far as I can see. But look for yourself, maybe you'll find other value.
Id' only recommend this if you've got something you particularly want on the Amazon app store that costs money and is worth spending money on. Theres tons of free apps out there so paying for apps is often wasting money. But theres exceptions.

Large Business Percent of Jobs and Payroll By State
Nationally most jobs and most wages are at big companies (over 500 employees). 52% of all jobs and 58% of all wages in the USA are from big companies. But of course it varies by state. In Montana only 32% of jobs are from big companies and its 59% in Nevada. Montana again has the lowest wages from big companies at 39% and at the other end Georgia has the most wages at 62%.
I found data on employment based on firm size data on the SBA website. Specifically : Table 1- Number of firms, establishments, employment, and payroll by firm size, state, and industry

GoodSense Nasal Decongestant Phenylephrine HCl 10 mg tablets, 72-count = $1.94
Zwipes Microfiber Glass and Window Cleaning Cloth, 2 Count = $1.95
I'm citing the price for each item including the 15% discount that you'd get with 5 items which is the point here.
I try to list a variety of items so you'll have a better chance of seeing something on this list that you'd actually get use out of so its not just bought and wasted.
Warning : If you use items off this list then make sure to watch them and cancel your subscription if you no longer want them or if the prices go up. The cheap items I find seem to change pretty quickly so they may have large price hikes or be removed from the subscribe and save program.
Prices change! Note the list will get out of date within days or weeks. I'll probably post a newer list before all of the above items are gone or have price increases. But if you can't find something good here you can always go to Amazon and search for Subscribe & Save and sort based on prices and poke around to find something cheap to use as a filler.
I've discussed before how you can get a better discount on Amazon Subscribe and Save purchases if you order 5 items at once. However if you don't buy a lot of stuff then it can be hard to come up with a 5 item order. However if your products are worth enough then it can be worth it to add some filler items to get up to 5 items to get the 15% discount.
Say for example, you want to buy a couple cases of Pampers Swaddlers Diapers that run $45.97 each with a normal purchase. With Subscribe and save you'd get a 5% discount.to get the price down to $43.67. But if you have 5 items in your S&S order then it is only $36.78 or a $6.89 savings. And if you're buying two of those then thats double or $13.78. Adding the 4 cheapest items listed here to the S&S order would only cost you $4.99 total with the 5 item discount so its worth buying those items to get you a net savings of $8.79.
Note if you don't want the filler items and only use them to get a 5 item discount then you can of course always give away the food items to someone you know or donate them to the local food bank.
