Oprah may be one of the richest women in the world, but not all of her favorite things are budget-busters. Some of them are actually affordable. Every year she shares her favorite things with her viewers. Some of them are extravagant items like $180 pound cake or $495 duffel bags. In celebration of the queen of talk's retirement from daytime TV, here are some of her recession-friendly favorite things from over the years.

Kenny G's Holiday Album

Back in 1999, Kenny G's holiday album was probably playing non-stop on Oprah's CD player. That's when she had it on her list of favorite things. Now you can pick this up on Amazon.com for less than the price of a Starbucks coffee.

Sarabeth's Jam

Oprah's favorite flavor of Sarabeth's jam is apricot peach, but there are 13 others to choose from. Each jar is $10 and made with slowly simmered, hand cut fruit.

If You Give a Pig a Pancake Children's Book

It's no secret Oprah is a big fan of books-- even ones for young readers. In 2000 she put the children's book If You Give a Pig a Pancake on her list of favorite things. You can pick up a copy now for about $10 on Amazon.com.

Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish

To many people, spending $16 on a tiny bottle of nail polish may seem extravagant, but to Oprah that's a bargain. Back in 2008 she recommended Deborah Lippmann's nail polish to her viewers. You can still buy the standard colors along with new seasonal shades at LippmannCollection.com.

MarieBelle Hot Chocolate

This was one of Oprah's favorites nine years ago, but thankfully MarieBelle Hot Chocolate is a product with staying power. A 20 ounce can is $25 and comes in four flavors.

A Subscription to O Magazine

For several years, a subscription to O Magazine wound up on Oprah's list of favorite things. Even though her show is ending, the magazine is still going strong. You can subscribe for one year for $18.
