    30 Walmart Products You’ll Probably Love As Affordable Alternatives To Expensive Versions

    Girl Math = the money you save buying affordable versions of your favs can just go to buying more of your favs.

    1. The Revlon One-Step hairdryer/round brush combo — if you're like me and late to the hot brush party, this one is well worth the price and goes toe-to-toe with That One Big Competitor. I did my research on this, and so many humans prefer this to the more expensive counterpart! TRY IT. It's SO easy to use.

    2. A crossbody travel bag so you can look like all the cool kids with an even ~cooler~ price.

    3. And a pair of sunglasses that will trick people into thinking you are wearing a much fancier brand than you are.

    4. A combo firming/SPF moisturizer that will do double duty for your skin and your wallet.

    5. A refreshing bath gel here to remind you of a cult "rainbath" favorite and even comes in the same fancy bottle!

    6. A single-serve Keurig that can make coffee, lattes, and cappuccinos at home with a price that is literally impossible to argue with.

    7. A rich moisturizing cream with algae extract, vitamin E, and squalane that makes this a 3-in-1 wonder for your face and your piggybank.

    8. A fitted blazer because boss babe style never goes out of style, and neither does this price point. (OMG. I'm buying them all.)

    9. A pot of E.l.f. cleansing balm because we shouldn't spend more money on removing the makeup than applying it.

    10. A smart thermostat that connects to Wi-Fi, your phone, and works with Alexa and Hey Google so you can monitor your energy usage without the high price tag.

    11. An indoor/outdoor home security camera with two-way audio and night vision so you can see what's up at a steep discount from those other guys. Less money per unit means more cameras which means more security and peace of mind for you!

    12. An ottoman with hidden storage perfectly on trend and maybe even better than its competitors because of the storage factor??? We love pretty things that can hide other pretty things when your living space needs a quick tidy.

    13. A fancy floor mirror to either check your 'fit or make your small spaces look larger. We've all seen the influencers with these, we've all wanted them, but now we can actually buy them at this honey-start-the-getaway-car price.

    14. A classy wooden vase screaming "I have a personal shopper and they chose this for my Architectural Digest celebrity home YouTube video," but at an impulse buy amount of dollars we can all get behind.

    15. And a leaning ladder shelf to put it on because this style is timeless and also EVERYWHERE and you don't have to drop a sack of gold to join the party.

    16. An outdoor acacia wood bench upon which you can sit demurely and fend off questions about how much you paid for said bench. (People *will* guess higher than the answer. Just let 'em.)

    17. Some cute pajamas that call to mind angels and fancy undies without the not-so-secret price tag attached.

    18. A set of two seashell-shaped accent chairs even Ariel would be jealous of, but you don't have to go all the way to Atlantica to get it and you don't have to be a princess to afford it.

    19. A mid-century–style bed frame and headboard because the fancier the bed frame, the more luxurious the sleep.

    20. An accent cabinet that will have you feeling like Gatsby for a whole year without needing to come from old money to buy it.

    21. A totally tubular mascara I personally ran back to after trying a more expensive brand's tube mascara, because this one is SO MUCH BETTER. It adds volume and length, and the step one serum makes you feel good about putting it on your lashes daily.

    22. The perfect slouchy joggers all the athletic labels are loving right now, but with the kind of price that says, "I'll take one in every color, please."

    23. A sling bag with pockets for days so you can squirrel away all the bills you saved from getting this bag.

    24. A pair of overalls that are already saving you money by how dang affordable they are, but ALSO these babies are all-season friendly. Still cold and blustery where you are? Sweater up! Getting a bit more springlike? Graphic tee it down! Your cost per wear is plummeting.

    25. A kid's stainless-steel spill-proof water bottle that looks a lot like the tumblers the adults keep fighting over, but in kid-friendly prints that are so cheap you can be the best guardian/fun aunt/foster parent/grandparent/sibling/cool next-door neighbor ever for less than an Andrew Jackson.

    26. And a pair of puffer ankle booties you can also get for less than $20. So you can look even cooler when you're handing out those water bottles like a strange hydrating Santa.

    27. A set of dual tip brush pens (with a bonus adult coloring book!) because as someone who buys art supplies on the whim of her latest FYP trends, we gotta save money on these things where we can to support the next hyper-fixation.

    28. An all-in-one scanner and printer — LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING. I put off owning (another) printer for a long time because they always broke on me and cost a bajillion dollars. But I've had one similar to this for almost a year with zero issues, and it's literally the nicest thing ever to scan docs and print stuff without running to a friend's printer or UPS Office. It's also got a tiny desk footprint and looks like a little sleeping Wall-E robot when not in use.

    29. A seven-pack of picture frames, because spending more money on the frame than you did on that cute Etsy print is painful. I literally get frames every time I'm at Walmart because they're cheap, minimalist, and often come in packs like these so I have extras on hand for my next impulse art buy or photo-hanging session!

    30. A floor lamp, because if you've been to the big furniture stores lately and looked at how much their lamps cost... OOF. This one is cute, HAS SHELVES, and is affordable enough that you can get a matching set (or three!) for your home.
