    27 Cheap Solutions For All The Things You're Overpaying For

    In a way, these things kinda pay for themselves.

    1. A headlight cleaner you'll really take a shine to when you see the dazzling results.

    2. A pack of pimple patches for sucking all that grossness right out of your face, no expensive facial needed.

    3. A set of microfiber wipes capable of wiping off every single speck of makeup. You can just throw 'em in the wash and never buy fancy makeup remover ever again.

    4. A Quip toothbrush ready to keep your pearly whites clean. Brush twice a day to keep the dentist bills away!

    5. Not to keep ragging on your dentist, but: a mouth guard with a mold you can make at home and then mail in.

    6. A pair of cheap, yet reliable sneaks that'll do the job of much more expensive brands (things like looking good, keeping your feet comfortable, staying clean, etc.) at a fraction of the cost.

    7. A grout pen for painting over your icky tiles when a professional cleaning seems out of your budget.

    8. A razor set so cheap, you'll want to kick past-you for shelling out so much dough for the brand name blades.

    9. Or if aesthetics and convenience are important to you: an almost equally inexpensive service called Billie that mails razors to your home on a regular basis.

    10. A pack of generic cleaning pads (aka Magic Eraser dupes) so you can pay even LESS to clean virtually everything in your home.

    11. A pack of whitening strips almost as effective as getting the pricey stuff from the dentist.

    12. A roll of fiberglass cloth mesh for repairing ripped window screens without replacing the whole darn thing.

    13. A bendy drain snake so effective, you'll wonder if you should start a plumbing company that specializes in clogged drains.

    14. A NYX liquid eyeliner capable of serving just as dramatic looks as Kat Von D or Stila, but at less than half the price.

    15. A pack of wooly dryer balls you can use again and again, unlike those annoying dryer sheets.

    16. A scratch remover to break out before making the dreaded trip to the auto repair shop.

    17. A heat brush capable of blowing your hair out to near-salon level perfection. Your hair stylist is going to forget what you look like.

    18. A pair of ear buds that are 1. affordable as heck and 2. last forever. You'll never go back to Apple's uncomfortable nightmare headphones.

    19. An inexpensive diffuser to try before splurging on a pricey one from Muji.

    20. A rust remover sure to cure your old bathroom woes. It's way cheaper than gutting your whole bathroom or straight up moving.

    21. A Divacup that's better for than the environment and nicer to your wallet than regular pads and tampons.

    22. A moldable putty to cover frayed cords or patch up broken items, saving you lots of $$$ in the long run.

    23. A bottle of generic allergy medication, because saving money is nothing to sneeze at.

    24. Bra and pant extenders, which are a lot easier to buy than a whole new maternity wardrobe.

    25. A pack of denim patches to extend the life of jeans, even after a crotch rip mishap.

    26. A pair of glasses from EyeBuyDirect that cost way less than those from traditional retailers, PLUS! you can wear them for 14 days and return them if you're not totally satisfied.

    27. A bottle of truffle seasoning to help with your fancy flavor cravings without having to invest in a truffle sniffing pig.
