    29 Clever Things That’ll Help You Save A Pretty Penny In The Long Run

    Stuff that'll help you buy less stuff!

    1. A pack of bottle-emptying stands that'll make sure you get every last drop of your shampoo, moisturizers, olive oil, honey — literally any product that likes to stick to the bottom of the bottle.

    2. 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.

    3. A set of rechargeable batteries that comes with a charging dock, so you can stop buying regular packs over and over. They'll save you from the struggle of properly disposing old expired ones every other month, too.

    4. A clamp that'll transform your dumbbells into kettlebells for a more comfortable squat. Reviewers love that it turns the weights they already own into multipurpose training equipment.

    5. A pair of mini spatulas that'll help you use all of your expensive creams and hair products. You can also use them to apply particular face products you don't want to contaminate with your fingers (especially if you have long nails, like I usually do).

    6. A UV lamp that'll let you give yourself the perfect manicure. If you always manage to mess up your nails while you're waiting for them to dry (like I do), then this thing will basically change your life.

    7. A pack of reusable sandwich bags that'll save you from repurchasing the usual disposable ones all the time. They're thick enough to stow perishables in your freezer, too.

    8. A mini sewing kit, so you can repair that old pair of jeans instead of donating 'em and buying new ones. It comes with everything you need for a basic fix, so no excuses!

    9. A 3-in-1 knife sharpener that'll sharpen your straight and serrated knives, as well as your scissors. It'll extend the life of your blades and make your life in the kitchen a heck of a lot easier.

    10. A pack of Cosrx pimple patches that might make you reconsider the pricy facial appointment you just made. Now, let's be real: They won't make your zits completely disappear, but they will help to suck the gunk out of your face and improve their appearance, too.

    11. A pack of all-natural cleaning wipes that'll save your favourite boots from unsightly salt stains (and you from the urge of buying a new pair). You can also use them to wipe down your leather jackets and handbags, too.

    12. A deshedding brush that'll give you a little extra time between grooming appointments. Reviewers say it does wonders for their pet's coat, leaving it shinier and unmatted, with a noticeable decrease of furry tumbleweeds on the floor.

    13. A wood repair kit that'll erase those knicks and scratches off of your coffee table and dining room chairs. Your entire apartment (and your wallet) can benefit from the refresh these babies can deliver.

    14. 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.

    15. A trio of produce containers that'll extend the life of your fruits and veggies by regulating oxygen levels and reducing moisture. Reviewers say their greens were still crisp even after ten days of being in one of these containers.

    16. A hair catcher that can also be used as a drain stop to plug your tub (and save you an appointment with your plumber). Reviewers say it's super easy to clean and excellent for anyone who practically moults every time they shower.

    17. A grout cleaning set that'll give your bathroom walls a serious makeover. These pens will transform the grungy vibe you've got going on, without redoing your tiles altogether.

    18. A spinning makeup brush cleaner that'll clean and dry your dirty makeup brushes in under a minute. Your kabuki brush (and your skin) will thank you.

    19. A wine saving set, so you don't feel pressured into drinking the whole bottle every time you open one. It comes with four stoppers and a vacuum pump that'll remove the air from your bottle — which will save your open wine from oxidizing and going bad.

    20. A laptop stand that’ll turn your dining room table into a proper desk (without the excessive pricetag). Do your neck the favour and get yourself an ergonomic setup already.

    21. A set of 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.

    22. A transparent mat that'll save your floor from chair marks and scuffs. It isn't made for carpets, but your wooden floor will thank you — and you'll thank me when your landlord doesn't slap you with a pesky repair fee.

    23. This genius herb container that'll keep your fresh basil sprigs and cilantro alive 'n' well until you're ready to use 'em.

    24. An electric fabric shaver that'll remove rogue threads and lint from your pilling sweaters. You can use it on your furniture, too, to give your couch or rugs an instant refresh!

    25. This Revlon one-step blow dryer that's cheaper than a lot of hot brush tools, but just as bangin'. The bristles are wider than your typical blowout brush, so if you have thick or wavy locks, your hair won't get caught up in it (but it'll still smooth out that frizz).

    26. A lumbar support cushion that’ll give your back the TLC it probably needs, so you won’t have to shell out big bucks for a fancy office chair. Reviewers say it's a total game changer when it comes to improving their posture and alleviating back pain, making it a heck of a lot more bearable to sit in front of a screen all day.

    27. A tube of patching primer that'll help you fix up unsightly nail holes. The tube itself has everything you need to do so, with a built-in spatula and a sanding lid, too — so you won't have to go out and purchase the entire hardware store.

    28. 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.

    29. And finally, 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.
