    27 Eco-Friendly Products Under $30 That You Should Probably Try

    Let's all be a little greener, without destroying our wallets.

    1. A set of six merino wool dryer balls that'll cut down on static, wrinkles, and how long your laundry will need to spend in the dryer. They're made of hypoallergenic organic wool, so they won't add anything to your clothes that would irritate your skin.

    2. A pack of reusable beauty pads that'll replace your usual disposable ones. They’re made of organic bamboo cotton, which is totally biodegradable — and it’ll also be kind to your sensitive skin.

    3. And a pair of silicone face-scrubbing pads that'll gently exfoliate your skin. They're soft enough to use on your eyes to take off your makeup, so you won't need to use any other cloth or cleansing pad.

    4. A reusable notebook with pages you can wipe clean with a damp cloth. It comes with a pen that is designed specifically for this futuristic pad, and is equipped with scanning codes you can use with a free app to transfer your handwritten notes to your phone or laptop.

    6. A pack of biodegradable cotton swabs that’ll help ease the guilt you feel every time you toss a typical disposable swab in the trash. Though these aren't reusable, they're made of paper and are entirely compostable — which is a step in the right direction, if you ask me.

    7. A pack of reusable Keurig cups that'll let you brew whatever coffee grinds you'd like. Reviewers love that they're a cheaper (and greener) alternative to just buying pre-packaged pods all the time.

    8. A set of reusable grocery bags that'll help you shrink that hoard of plastic bags you've got stashed in a cupboard. It comes with a cute tote and three mesh bags that can collapse into a compact pouch.

    9. Or this charming trio of cotton bags you can use for produce, bread, or even as packing organizers (for whenever we can travel again). Each bag is equipped with a drawstring that'll make it easy for you to keep your goodies secure.

    10. A shampoo and conditioner bar that'll save you from throwing away unnecessary plastic packaging. They're vegan, cruelty free, and don't have any palm oil in them, either.

    11. A stovetop espresso maker that'll let you brew up an artisan Americano without needing to stop at Starbucks. It uses a funnel for the espresso grinds, so you won't ever need to purchase a pack of disposable filters.

    12. An eco-friendly silicone travel cup you can use on the go, instead of giving in to the convenience of a disposable one. It's collapsible, so you can squeeze it into your tiniest purse even if you aren't anticipating a stop at your local café.

    13. A reusable vacuum-insulated bottle that is so stylish, you won't ever forget to bring it with you. It's totally leakproof, and will keep your water icy all day long.

    14. A pack of bee's wax food sheets, so you won't have to rely on plastic wrap to cover your leftovers. You'll just need the heat of your hands to seal them shut, and can reuse them after a quick wash in cool water.

    15. A door draft stopper that'll help you deal with that midnight chill, without adjusting your thermostat. It'll also help to block out noise and light, which is especially great if you have roommates who like to stay up past your bedtime.

    16. A pair of bamboo toothbrushes that'll steer you away from buying another plastic one. These babies have soft bristles that won't hurt your gums, and they also come with their own lil' stands.

    18. A menstrual cup that'll help you say goodbye to uncomfortable tampons and bulky pads. Reviewers say there is a learning curve, but that it's totally worth it once you get used to it. Not only will these reusable cups benefit the environment in the long run, but it'll be great for your wallet as well.

    19. A pack of antibacterial menstrual pads you can wash and reuse. Reviewers say they're comfy to wear, even just as liners — especially at night when the last thing you want is a sticky, stiff pad (the button snaps on the wings are a serious upgrade).

    20. A trio of glass food storage containers that can handle the icy temperatures of your freezer, so you can use them instead of plastic freezer bags. They can also go into your hot stove or microwave, as long as you take the lids off first.

    21. A biodegradable AirPods case that'll protect your earphones and the planet! Reviewers say that despite being an inexpensive product, the case doesn't feel cheap whatsoever — it fits perfectly and has a smooth texture that isn't bulky.

    22. An exfoliating coffee scrub that'll make your skin feel smoother than a bébé’s bottom. It's made with organic and vegan ingredients, with the added benefit of caffeine to help with puffiness. It's scented with vanilla and orange essential oils, and is safe to use all over your bod — including your face and lips.

    23. An extra-fine mesh tea infuser that'll help you to cut back on buying packs of teabags. It comes with a screw-on lid, so you won't have to pick out any rogue floaters once your tea has steeped.

    24. A trio of biodegradable scrubbing pads that are made completely out of coconut fibres. Reviewers say they're super impressed with how long these babies hold up, and that you can use them on your pots and pans without worrying about scratching them.

    25. A machine-washable shower curtain, so you can stop repurchasing plastic ones over and over again. The bottom seam is weighted, so it'll stay where it's supposed to. It also comes with rings, so you won't have to make a separate purchase if you don't already have your own.

    26. A pair of glass spray bottles you can bring to your local eco-bulk store, to replenish your natural cleaners and disinfectants. They come with two spray nozzles and caps, so you can decide how you want to store 'em.
