24 Things Under $20 For People Who Don't Have All Day

Perfect eggs in minutes, no rinse detergent, and 3-in-1 makeup.

1. A no-rinse detergent perfect for hand-washing your delicates. Hand-washing is already such a long process, so skipping the rinse at least shaves off some minutes.

2. A jar of toilet bombs that'll do all the work for you. Toss one in the bowl, let it dissolve, watch the cleaning happen, give the bowl a little scrub, flush, and your toilet is clean enough to eat out of — but, don't.

3. A speedy defrosting tray because you don't always remember to take food out in advance but you also don't have time to wait. This tray will let you defrost chicken breasts, steak, pork chops, lamb chops, and more within 30 to 60 minutes.
