1. A set of dermaplaning razors designed to be a quick way for you to shape your eyebrows, remove any unwanted hair, and just get smooth skin without having to make another appointment and spend more time in a salon chair.
Promising review: "Saves money! Aestheticians charge over $100 for dermaplaning and recommend coming back every six weeks. These blades make it easy to get the benefits of spa services at home. Easy to use. Watching a YouTube video to show the technique is helpful." —mellowmermaid
Get a set of three from Amazon for $5.64.
2. A sandwich cutter and sealer so you can make your own Uncrustables at home. You'll save money *and* keep your kids happy, which is always a win. Plus, you can get more creative with your sandwich creations so your kids don't have to eat PB&J three times a week.
Promising review: "My daughter loves Uncrustables! They are almost $10 a box here so that’s almost $20 for grape and strawberry. These cutters have already saved me money! I made her a round sandwich earlier today (when they arrived) and put it in the freezer to chill (she likes them cold like the store-bought ones). She didn’t even realize it wasn’t a store-bought Uncrustable! Plus, she can now choose from three different shapes. Well worth the money!!" —C. Stephens

3. A 52-week tear-off meal planning pad ready to help you plan out all your meals so you don't just open the fridge and stare at your one tomato and piece of bread and end up spending too much money ordering delivery. Not only is there space to write out the meals for every day of the week, but there's also a tearable grocery list you can take with you to the store to make sure you get everything you actually need to make those meals.
Sweetzer and Orange is a small business that creates planners, stationery, and educational products.
Promising review: "I wish I had found this years ago! I love it! It has a nice big magnet on the back, so it does not slide off the refrigerator. It is actually saving me money because I plan out all my meals for the week on Sunday and make my shopping list to go along with them. The right side tears nicely to take with me to the grocery store. I am no longer randomly wandering around the grocery store, trying to figure out what to buy to make for the week. I am not buying more groceries than I need anymore, so I am spending less." —Dchousewife
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles).
4. Luigi's sink and drain plunger, which is actually designed to be ten times more efficient than a traditional plunger. It works fast to unclog your sink and disposal, so you don't have to call a plumber. Game over!
Reviewers mention this was faster and more effective than one-time-use drain snakes and chemical cleaners!
Promising review: "I NEVER write reviews, but this thing made my day! My shower drain has been clogged for weeks. I figured I would give this a try before calling a plumber out. I plunged my drain for about 60 seconds, and instantly, the water began draining! This thing is small but mighty and saved me lots of money! THANK YOU LUIGI PLUNGER 🪠 🤩🙌" —CJ
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sizes).
5. A tin of Cirepil blue wax beads so you can stop making a waxing appointment every couple of weeks (because those add up SO fast.) It uses gentle, hard wax to help remove coarse and fine hair, leaving your armpits, legs, or any *other* bodyparts feeling oh-so-smooth.
Promising reviews: "I'm saving at least $120 every month :) Thank god I have it." —Sanem Demirkaya
"Holy crap. Please listen to this review. This is the best and easiest-to-use wax I have ever tried. It dries super quickly, and when it dries, it creates a vacuum seal around the hair. It does not stick to the skin in the slightest and cuts the pain down by 75%. I would pay $150 for this stuff because it is so good." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $23.99.
6. A flip top you can attach to your bottles to make sure you get EVERY. LAST. DROP. Hey, if you shelled out a little too much money for the "AMAZING" shampoo, you should do whatever you can to use the whole bottle.
Promising review: "This product is genius! And it saves money, too. I was able to transfer the last of my hand lotion from an almost empty bottle to one that had more room. I wish I had found this years ago.'" —Margaret Funk
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $17.20 (available in two colors).
7. A volcanic stone face roller that'll remove all the oil and shine that appears on your face when you're outside. Reviewers like this option better than oil-blotting sheets because the ball can be popped out and washed, making it a cheaper and more sustainable option.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was back ordered, but then I got an email saying it was in stock, and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. The packaging wasn't over the top exciting, but it provided you all the info you needed. (It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep.) After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pickup everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.94.
8. An herb keeper with an interior basket that allows the air to circulate inside to keep the herbs that you buy fresher longer so you can actually use them.
Promising review: "This herb-keeper is great for anyone who loves cooking or making salads with fresh herbs! It can keep several bunches fresh much longer than in the fridge’s crisper, and the removable basket opens up easily to put in and take out the herbs. You do need to change the fresh water in the pitcher fairly often, and don’t fill the water TOO high (not more than about a third or halfway, or the greens will drown.) Some of the herbs, I’ve found, will even keep growing in the refrigerator (especially scallions!), so you sometimes need to clip the tops to prevent them from pushing the somewhat loose lid up. That’s not really a problem, though. This keeper has saved us money and helped eliminate limp, unidentifiable green stuff from our fridge." —DC99
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in two sizes).
9. A pack of Swedish dishcloths that are made to be super absorbent, so you can use them to clean your whole kitchen in one swoop and then throw them in the washer when you're done. Say goodbye to buying roll after roll of paper towels when you have these!
Promising review: "I use these every day to wipe my toddlers down after meals. We save so much money on paper towels (not to mention not adding to the landfills!). I use and wash these every day and am just replacing my first pack after 18 months (some are still working, but a few have been ripped by toddlers). Highly recommend!!!!" —Jamie
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $14.75+ (available in nine color packs).
10. Reusable microfiber pads specifically designed to fit your Swiffer WetJet, so you can just throw them in the wash (instead of the trash) when you're done wet or dry-mopping the floor. Reviewers confirm that these pads actually work better than the disposable ones and pick up wayyy more dirt and dust from the floor.
Turbo Microfiber Store is a small business creating microfiber reusable mop pads and other cleaning products.
Promising review: "I love this so much. This saved me so much money and is so effective because you just throw these in the washing machine once you're done. You can just keep reusing it instead of buying the little sheets that cost so much money." —alyssa
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $45.59.
11. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser great for anyone who lives alone or just doesn't eat a whole loaf of bread before it starts to go bad. This not only dispenses each slice, but it also has an airtight lid that will keep those slices fresher for longer.
Promising reviews: "I wish I had found this bread container years ago because it would have saved me so much money from throwing out bad bread loaves from my kids and never putting twisty tie back on the loaf. This container keeps your bread so nice and fresh and soft I absolutely love it no more hunting for the missing twisty ties anymore I'm probably gonna buy another one for the other bread loaves we use. Well worth the money." —Daniel Watson
Get it from Amazon for $12.50 (available in five styles).
12. A shoe cleaning kit because you just *can't* part with your favorite shoes, even though they have def seen better days. This cleaning concentrate (that's been around since 1985) will help revive them so you don't have to go out and buy a new pair. It also comes with a brush to help in the cleaning process.
It can be used on washable fabrics, including leather, vinyl, nubuck, suede, canvas, cloth, and more. You should follow the instructions on the bottle. Start by getting the brush a little damp, and apply two to three drops of the Pink Miracle on the brush. Then, scrub your shoes and re-wet the brush as needed. When you're done, you can use a cloth to wipe away any dirt, soap, and water.
Promising review: "This cleaner is next-level amazing. I was considering paying for a professional cleaning to restore some of my favorite pairs of Ultra Boosts, New Balance, and Nike shoes, but I was able to save so much money by using this product. Professional level results for less than a fraction of the price. I am more than satisfied." —Carson Kahle
Get it from Amazon for $18.97+ (available in two sizes).
13. A root touch-up spray if heading to the salon every six weeks just isn't in your budget right now. Sure, there's nothing wrong with rocking a bit of root, but this is a great option if you prefer to keep things covered.
Promising review: "My sister-in-law introduced me to this product a few years ago. It’s awesome when wanting to hide the annoying gray hairs that pop up only weeks after getting your hair done. It’s easy to use and washes out easily, too. Saves me money and allows me to avoid the salon a little bit longer. Love, love, love it. Would recommend it to anyone." —Kirk Arizona
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in nine colors and in packs of two).
14. A pocket-size refillable travel perfume atomizer so you can easily transfer your signature scent to bring it with you instead of buying the pricey travel-size version. Plus, it's so small that you'll probably just end up keeping it in your bag when you're not traveling for a little refresh while you're out and about.
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Elizabeth Lilly says: "That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and, therefore, takes up very little room. Plus! It's smaller than most rollerball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one works so well, that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK about digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three...especially at this price point."
Promising review: "This was so easy to use. It works great, and I keep an extra in my purse to have on me always. Saved me so much money to be able to use our existing perfume and cologne to fill these up. They work great. Super easy to fill and refill." —Alicia Serrano
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $6.99.
15. A Souper Cubes freezer tray specifically made with four spaces that fit one cup of soup or sauce. This way, you can make a whole bunch of soup and then freeze it in single-serving portions so it's easier to defrost and eat for dinner in the future.
Souper Cubes is a family-run small business with a passion for better-frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Plus, their products are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe, and they have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups.
Promising reviews: "I purchased these on the recommendation of my daughter, who has been using them for a while. I love the convenient fill lines in each compartment. I have used them to freeze milk, spaghetti sauce, and leftover lasagna so far, and I feel the possibilities are endless! Super easy to remove food from the compartments as needed by simply inverting the individual section. I initially hesitated because of the cost, but I feel I’m saving money by not wasting food that would normally go bad before I could use it up. And it’s so nice to have ready-made meal options available in the freezer at all times." —Beth
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a pack of two).
16. A rechargeable lighter so you can light candles in seconds with a simple switch. Then, when it runs out, you simply have to charge it instead of going out to buy a new one.
Promising review: "It works really well, and it's easy to use. I use it all the time to light candles, and it saves me money on lighters. If you don't clean it, sometimes the build-up will spark or something, but all it takes is a swipe with a cotton swab, and it's clean (it's nothing dangerous; I've just seen other reviews mention it being a bad thing). Super convenient and compact, and it would be a cool gift idea." —Gracey Maike
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in nine colors).
17. A microwave popper that'll basically revolutionize the way you make popcorn. You'll get delicious, homemade popcorn with fresh butter in a matter of minutes and won't have to keep buying the microwave bags over and over again. Movie night has never tasted so good.
I should know, I only use this to make popcorn now. With one of these, I'm able to make as much or as little popcorn as I want, whenever I want. It's convenient and easy to use. Plus, you're not throwing away single-use popcorn bags all the time!
Promising review: "This makes making popcorn without oil so easy! Very few unpopped kernels, and it never burns. I’m saving tons of money over buying bags of popcorn. Easy to clean. Very highly recommended." —Corey
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in 22 colors).
18. A set of bag sealers here to ensure that you never get excited to eat your favorite Chili & Lime Tortilla Chips from Trader Joe's, only to realize that they've gone stale with the lackluster bag clip you have. This small device uses heat to reseal any bag, leaving whatever's inside fresh and ready for you to enjoy.
Promising review: "Works great and has already saved us money from not wasting products. Keeps our chips and other snacks fresh. I would highly recommend it. I bought the two-pack to keep one in the house and one with our camping supplies." —Sarah Thompson
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three colors).
19. A battery-powered nail grinder that's a great option if you hate how much it costs to get your pup's nails trimmed at the groomer. This grinds your pup's nails quickly and painlessly, and it's so much easier than using traditional clippers.
Promising review: "I would highly recommend it. The instructions were clear. The other reviews on here helped as well. It was the best experience. Honestly, I was a little nervous at first, but I just made sure my dog was comfortable with the tool and the sound. After that, it was a breeze. The best advice I can give is just to make sure your dog is comfortable and relaxed. And continue to reward them. If you’re nervous, they’re nervous. 😂 Oh, and this definitely saves you money if you constantly take your pups in to get them done professionally. ☺️" —Alyssa Simpson
Get it from Amazon for $34.98.
20. A miraculous Rubbermaid plastic container with FreshVent technology to regulate the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide to keep your fruit or vegetables fresh for up to two (!!) weeks.
Promising review: "I discovered these by accident, and they have saved me lots of money. If you want your veggies and fruit to last 2–3 times as long, use these and other VENTED containers. I have always used Tupperware or Rubbermaid SEALED containers and still do for everything else, but for veggies and fruits, these are the best. They are especially good for avocados and strawberries. Lettuce stays crisp and fresh longer, even my fresh herbs do well in these containers. I like the Rubbermaid line because the vent is hidden in the front and makes stacking easier." —a beliver

21. Wad-Free, which is about to change your laundry life. Don't believe me? This seemingly boring square thing attaches to the corners of your sheets to help them dry faster, be less wrinkled, and stop them from encompassing everything in the drier so it turns into a tangled mess. You'll spend less time doing laundry because your sheets will be dry the first time you check on them.
Plus, they're BPA-free, reusable, and created by a small business during the pandemic.
Promising review: "I’ve just used these today and have to say that they probably saved me money by not having the sheets all wrapped around other laundry and keeping it from getting dry, so I had to spend more money and time in the dryer. I hate laundry so anything that will keep me out of the laundromat is a good thing. Hallelujah!!! 🥰" —Carolyn C.
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99.
22. A set of lotus trolley bags designed to fit exactly in a shopping cart. These will allow you to bag your groceries as you go (and avoid those pesky bag fees) and then swiftly put them in your car afterward to take home.
Promising review: "I love how practical it is to go shopping with the Lotus bags. The state of California sells plastic bags for 10 cents, and I’m not only saving money on each grocery trip, I also get compliments on how organized and cute by bags look on the cart." —Bonnie Rodriguez
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.
23. A programmable AC booster fan here to help maximize airflow from your HVAC system to get a more even cooling experience throughout your home. You can easily mount it onto a floor or wall register to help keep temperatures lower without raising your energy bill.
It has a programmable LCD controller with a heating and cooling thermostat and automated fan speeds.
Promising review: "I purchased this to put them in the bedrooms on the second floor. Those bedrooms were always hotter than the floor beneath them. I wanted to see if I could improve the temperature in the bedrooms without adding a second AC and heating unit. They work like a dream! Saved me a ton of money by not having to add a second unit. Definitely recommend!" —Francisco Diaz
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
24. A pack of nonstick silicone baking mats designed to fit perfectly into a baking sheet so you don't have to use sheet after sheet of aluminum foil ever again. Plus, you'll love them even more when it's time to do the dishes because you won't have burnt-on food stuck to the sheet.
Plus, these are oven-safe up to 480 degrees and fit on half-sheet-size pans.
Promising review: "I am so glad that I purchased these mats. I save money because I don’t have to purchase wax paper or parchment paper anymore. They work very well. I have used them many times, and they are still perfect! I wash by hand and put them back with my baking sheets." —Janell Henderson
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99.
25. A wine-stain-removing spray so you can enjoy your girls' nights drinking wine and watching The Bachelor without fear that someone will ruin your couch or carpet. You'll basically have Olivia Pope–level confidence because you'll know if you do spill, there will be no ~scandal~ and the spray will get the stain out, leaving no trace it was ever there.
Promising review: "This spray saves everything: leather shoes with month-old red wine stains, white couch pillows renewed to original color after being spritzed three minutes after a big spill, jeans that were too close to a neighboring table’s red wine oops; you name the spill, this spray saves the day.
"It’s handy that this spray comes in a two-pack. One bottle stays in our kitchen, and the second fits in my purse when we’re out at dinner and plan to drink reds. Both bottles have been used in times of crisis and both have saved the day and saved us lots of money by not having to replace clothes and furniture due to stubborn stains. Keep peace of mind (and peace of white shirts) while drinking responsibly. 🍷." —V.Arnold
Get it from Amazon for $7.95 (available in five varieties).
26. Elizavecca's CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein treatment made with soy protein, allantoin, and ceramide 3. It works like a mask to revive your dry hair and give your strands the boost they need after you've used too much heat on them.
It's recommended for use on damaged, over-processed hair of all textures.
Promising review: "Best treatment!! I’ve been wanting to go to the salon to have a professional deep conditioning treatment done, but I decided to order this instead. I just saved a bunch of money! I can’t imagine never using this. My hair is so soft, yet not limp. I have coarse, thick hair, and this completely made my hair manageable and healthy looking." —ItsTiffanyAnne

27. A fabric defuzzer that works to remove any unwanted fuzzies from your couch that your cat decided was a really fun toy. This works so well that it has saved reviewers from completely replacing their furniture!
The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
Promising review: "THIS. This right here is one of those items that exists that you didn’t know existed and needed but didn’t know you needed. It's one of the best purchases I’ve made on Amazon by far for such a steal of a price. Why is it one of the best purchases I’ve ever made you ask? Because it’s saved me money. A lot of money. This small and cheap, but amazing item has saved many of my clothing items. This is a MUST buy for anyone who doesn’t already have one or for anyone who’s had one but has since then broken theirs." —Justin D.

28. A door draft stopper reviewers swear is a great way to stop hot air from getting into your home during the summer months. Not only will you save money on your energy bill, but you'll also stop tiny critters from crawling their way into your home.
Promising review: "We got this for the front door because we have an older house with poorly-sealed doors and windows. The color (white) matches perfectly with my white door, and you can't even tell it's there. It completely eliminated any drafty air from coming in through the front door and saved us money on the electricity bill. It was very easy to adhere to the door, and we have had it for a few months with no issues. I would definitely recommend this product!" —Jordan
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four colors).
29. A Bluapple produce extender that works for three months to keep your produce from wilting when you look away for one second. Now you'll actually be able to enjoy all the fresh produce you bought with your hard-earned money.
OK, I know that's not how it works, but doesn't it feel like that's how it works sometimes??? This absorbs ethylene gas that would otherwise ripen your fruits and vegetables. It's safe to put in the fridge or even in a fruit bowl. Each packet lasts three months.
Promising review: "I do feel like my produce lasts longer. I buy a lot of organic veggies and fruit, which I like to juice each week. I have thrown away less produce, which can be costly, so I am happy to save money and feel like this is a good product. Read the enclosed instruction and learn the proper way to store your food for a longer shelf life." —Nor Cal Amazoner
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
30. A reusable pet hair remover for any pet parent who can't seem to escape the loads of hair that end up covering their furniture. Seriously, sometimes it feels like they lose every single hair on their body every day. Simply roll it on the upholstery, and it will grab every last strand. And you'll never have to buy a sticky roll again.
31. An egg bite maker if you swear by those tasty ones from Starbucks but just can't justify sitting in the drive-thru every morning. With this, you can make your own at home and have the ability to customize your flavors with whatever your heart desires.
The silicone molds are removable so this becomes a regular grill!
Check out a TikTok of the egg bite maker in action.

Promising review: "This stuff is literally AH-MAZZZZ-ING !! I kid you NOT! Works on just about anything and everything! I use it for virtually every surface, including my front door, which was stained with pollen and black dirt, and it wiped right off. I still can’t believe how great this stuff is. I use it on my tubs, scuff marks on walls, clean my grout ... and it has not yet disappointed! BUY THIS now and save yourself time and money on a bunch of expensive cleaning products that don’t do half the job this does." —kim carle
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
33. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner pretty much guaranteed to gross you out because of all the dirt and gunk it will pull out from the furniture and upholstery in your home without having to call a professional cleaning service. Reviewers with kids (and pets) have used this to save their couches, rugs, stairs, car seats, and more.
Promising review: "This portable cleaner is awesome! I have a small business and use it for all types of fabric. Chairs, carpets, and just cleaned my car floor and it works great. I went to get my car detailed and was quoted $180 for the interior, and I realized I could do it myself. I saved so much money using this machine instead and I'm very happy with the results. Use the OXY spot and stain solution because it seems to work best with the machine. A friend of mine has the same machine and recommended it to me after I borrowed it for a small project. I have used it so many times and have recommended it to other friends." —Tanya McAnear
