1. A cold brew coffee maker that's cheaper than running to Starbucks for your fix. Fill it with cold water, insert the filter full of coffee, and pop it in the fridge overnight. You'll have ready-to-drink cold brew each morning (and you'll use fewer disposable cups from the coffee shop)!
Promising review: "I LOVE this product so much! I drink iced coffee on the daily but the system I had just wasn't cutting it for me. I didn't know how to brew cold coffee at home (all we have is a Keurig, and there's no cold brew option) so I would go buy iced coffee from Dunkin' every morning. Now don't get me wrong, I love my Dunkin', but I wanted to find a way to be able to make that same iced coffee at HOME, and I think my wallet and gas tank wanted me to figure that out too. I found out about this product through TikTok and it is a GAME CHANGER. All you have to do is put coffee grounds in the filter, fill up the main compartment 3/4 full with water (I use water from my fridge), screw the filter into the lid and screw the lid shut, shake it a little to put the coffee grounds to work, and let it do its magic for 12–24 hours! This is probably the best investment I've ever made. You need this!!" —Carmen E.
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
2. Plus, some refillable coffee pods to put an end to one of the most costly purchases on your grocery bill: K-Cups! You'll also cut down on single-use plastic, which is never a bad thing.
These BPA-free plastic cups are designed to work in any Keurig brewer.
Promising review: "Really like these reusable K-Cups. I hated wasting so much plastic using regular K-Cups and found this to use as an alternative. I have had these for two years and they have held up great! Easily to fill, clean really nicely, and no complaints! And it's great you can put your own coffee in so you're not stuck to certain brands or flavors. Highly recommend if you are trying to be more environmentally friendly." —Amazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.49+ (also available as a two-pack and in a pack with different colors).
3. A life-changing ChomChom pet hair remover roller for anyone who's officially lost count of how many adhesive lint rollers they've purchased in their lifetime. This reusable roller catches the hair in a compartment that you empty into the trash, so you never have to purchase any refills.
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in colors white and black).
4. A reusable Swiffer duster pad because who has dough to blow on wasteful disposables? You'll keep your surfaces, blinds, and screens free from dust *without* purchasing refills.
This easily fits on the yellow (or blue!) Swiffer duster handle!
TS Designs is a West Leroy, Michigan-based small business that sells fun gifts and decor along with eco-friendly items.
Promising review: "Great washable duster replacement tops. They vacuum off and wash up easily, and they grab dust and cobwebs every bit as well as the disposable ones I was using. Considering it means putting a bit less into landfills and also saving money in the long run, I only wish I had bought these years ago, sincerely. Also they shipped very promptly and arrived sooner than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thanks!" —otherlings
Get it from TS Designs on Etsy for $4.49+ (originally $4.99+; available in 10 colors and in multipacks).
5. And washable microfiber mop pads so you can finally stop wasting your hard-earned cash on single-use Swiffer pads. They're made with extra-thick microfibers to trap dirt when sweeping and absorb moisture when mopping. Simply toss it in the wash when you're done!
These are compatible with the Swiffer Wet Jet and can be used wet OR dry and on almost every type of flooring. They're washable, so one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads! The company also sells a version of the mop pads that work with the original Swiffer Sweeper!
Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably.
Promising review: "Bottom line: This mop pad out-performs traditional pads, saves money and creates less waste. I love my Swiffer Wetjet but always feel like replacing the pads is such bad for the environment and my wallet. They are expensive and not very rugged. I am so glad I bought the 4-pack, I will never be without a pad again! Plus I can just throw them in the wash instead of the trash. Thank you Jess and family for creating such a nifty product!" —andiejofusco
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.73 (also available in packs of four or eight).
6. A fleecy Makeup Eraser if you've lost track of how much money you've spent on disposable makeup wipes. This only requires a bit of water to get rid of makeup — yes, even matte lipsticks and waterproof mascaras.
It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. And each one lasts for up to five years!
Promising review: "Love the softness, it takes off waterproof makeup quickly and easily! I immediately had to order a second one. Saves money on face cleansers and waterproof mascara removers. An excellent purchase." —Judith C. Mercer
Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in 15 colors).
7. And a bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo for washing away the nasty impurities living in your makeup brush bristles *shudder* instead of buying a new set. It's hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" —Ryan Brooks
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.98.
8. A very high-tech Rocketbook Fusion notebook with reusable pages so you can journal, make lists, and take notes without buying tons of new paper notebooks. Scan the pages into the app after you write and they'll be saved forever. Clear the page and start fresh the next day. Magic!
It has 42 pages, including seven page styles: a task list, weekly planner, monthly calendar, goal template, idea list, dot-grid, and lined pages. It also comes with a Pilot Frixion pen and microfiber cloth.
Promising review: "I am a college student, and being able to write all my notes manually helps me retain information over typing them, plus I can add drawings to my notes. So, I put them all in my Fusion and scan them to classroom files on my computer in typed format. From there I can review them or send them to classmates who are always begging for copies of notes. I also use the weekly planners extensively to write down when projects or essays are due and when I have extracurricular events. I use the action plan sheet to quickly outline my essays and projects. The Fusion is lightweight; I can take it anywhere with me easily without having the weight of a computer dragging me down. It's just as durable as a plastic covered notebook, so if you use some caution, you'll be fine with the cover it comes with. Its multi-functionality is awesome. Seriously, go out and get yourself these tools today. You won't regret it." —Jean Gray
Get it from Amazon for $37+ (available in two sizes and 15 colors).
9. And a pack of dry-erase sticky notes because have you ever stopped to calculate how much you've spent on disposable ones?! These can be used on most smooth surfaces and won't leave any residue behind.
Promising review: "I discovered these a month ago, and it has changed my life! No more Post-it notes that fall off and get stuck underneath shoes. Not to mention better for the environment. These are amazing. I have a stainless steel fridge, so I can’t use magnets. But I can use these! I put them on the fridge, on my kids' doors, TV, windows...anywhere, really. I especially love this brand as it comes with a nice little folder to keep them in as well as a marker, and the bright colors are just fantastic. Can’t say enough about these!" —jh
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and as a six-pack).
10. MioEco washable and reusable cloth towels to cut down on waste *and* spending. Sure, you'll regret all the cash you blew on store-bought paper towels but we don't have to talk about that.
MioEco is a small business that provides practical and stylish products made of sustainably produced organic materials for a lower environmental impact.
Promising review: "Wish I'd known about these sooner! I tried a few others, none better than a washcloth, which is obviously subpar for cleaning kitchen counters, etc. Then I saw rave reviews for this waffled item. They’re great; fully absorbent, rinse well quickly and hold up to a number of washings and no shrinkage. I’ve only had them less than a month but am a full convert. We haven’t used a paper towel since." —Californiamom
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $24.99+ (also available as a 20-pack).
11. And an eco-friendly sponge for a cost-effective option that'll take care of that mess you made while rushing around in the morning. It's machine washable so you don't have to worry about it harboring bacteria for months at a time (yuck).
Porter Lee's is a woman-owned small biz based in Portland, Oregon, that specializes in the ~cutest~ reusable home goods.
Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Daniel Boan can vouch for these sponges: "If you have a dishwasher in your home, I want you to go up it to right now and give it a giant hug. Don't you EVER take that beautiful appliance for granted ever again. Hand-washing dishes is my least favorite daily task, so I've been looking for products to make it a bit less of a hassle. I've also been trying to switch to more eco-friendly items when possible, so I knew these washable sponges from PorterLees on Etsy would be right up my alley. I was right — they're pretty life-changing. It takes a few uses to get used to the thin design, but they work just as well as regular sponges and are so easy to throw in the washing machine once they start getting a little gross — which means I can cross off sponges from my shopping list forever!"
Get it from Porter Lee's on Etsy for $9 (available in four colors and in multipacks).
12. A set of reusable shopping cart bags that'll streamline your grocery process and keep things organized until you get home. These will be *especially* handy if you live in an area that now charges for plastic bags at the checkout line.

Lotus Sustainables is a small business creating products to help eliminate plastic used while shopping.
Promising review: "I love these bags! They have made grocery shopping less stressful. I feel better not using all those plastic bags, they fit so much, and they handle heavy stuff like a champ. We have to go downstairs to get to our apartment and these make it so much easier! (The cooler bag is awesome too for ice cream and other frozen stuff!)" —Shannon

13. Or a pack of mesh string bags, which are perfect for farmer's market peeps who want a cute *and* cost-efficient way to carry their produce.
Promising review: "I have been trying to decrease amount of plastic we use for a very long time! Especially going shopping, I always would forget my reusable bags, but these are AWESOME! I just keep them in my bag, and use when going to the store. So sturdy, you can fit a lot on it and so cute! Love it! Great purchase." —James Dart
Get a five-pack from Amazon for $18.98 (also available in packs of one, two, or three).

It also comes with a set of labels, a chalkboard marker, and a measuring spoon set!
Promising review: "So worth the money. I have 2 teenage boys that are always hungry. They leave the chip bags and cereal boxes open. I could never find anything in the cabinets for the mess. Now, we are so organized and food isn’t wasted. I think in the long run that will help save money and we will use what we have because we can see it!" —justina
Get a set of 14 from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in four multi-pack sizes and two colors).
15. And a set of grocery organizers so you can ~clearly~ see what's in the fridge. Now you'll avoid throwing out foods that were shoved in the back and forgotten! It also helps consolidate groceries so you have more room on the shelves.
Promising review: "These are so helpful if your fridge is cluttered. I bought these for my mom who is an extremely cluttered person. I love her to death, but she is not an organized person. Her fridge used to look wild. There would be food piled on top of food, and small jars and containers EVERYWHERE. I bought her these to help her organize everything. Now she can see what she has and everything has a place. Thank you for making something like this to help those that are so cluttered." —MioRioZio
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $18.49.
16. A pair of comfy period-proof underwear when you're over buying pads and/or tampons every month. Many reviewers find these to be much more comfortable than single-use products *and* they don't cost nearly as much as leading brands.
Bambody has obtained the Oeko Tex Standard 100, Class 1 Certification, which means their garments do not contain any harmful chemicals, including PFAS.
Unlike your regular undies, you don't have to scrub the blood out of these. They're designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there. Be sure to check out our full Bambody period underwear review for more deets!
Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!
Promising review: "Perfect in every way. No pad needed. Absorbs heavy flow. 14-18 hours between showers to change them. Supreme overnight protection. No leaks! I just put them in a separate wash load at end of my period and they are ready for the next month. Time saving. Money saving. Environmentally friendly." —LJ Shan
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes XXS–6XL, four colors, and in packs of three or six).
17. Or a menstrual cup for a slightly less involved period solution that saves you money and is more environmentally friendly than disposables. Simply empty it out and clean it when you're done! You'll feel like a true period wizard whenever you pass the menstrual product aisle at the store.
These are made with a chemical-free formula that's naturally hypoallergenic, non-toxic, and free of latex and BPA. Plus, they're made to last for up to ten years (you read that right!) and can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time.
Promising review: "It is so much better than wearing a pad and having to change it. Tampons always hurt when I wore them but I have no discomfort whatsoever with the cup! It is a really great product and I have had no reactions to it at all. If you are tired of pads and tampons, spend the extra couple bucks on the cup and it will save you so much money in the long run and you won't be as wasteful having to change your pad/tampon out and throwing it away all the time. I also have no more leaks or "spills" from waking up and getting up like when using a pad. Really happy with the product!" —Emma
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two sizes, seven colors, and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "I love these! I am slowly replacing my Ziplocs with these reusable bags and I love using them. They hold up well in the freezer, clean well, and look good as new for the next time. Had one get stained from a tomato sauce, and after a few hours in the sun the stains disappeared. Loved them so much I bought extras like it as gifts." —A.N.
Get a six-pack of gallon bags from Amazon for $14.99 (available in gray or multicolor and a variety of sizes and assortments).
20. Some silicone baking mats if you're ~fed up~ with having to scrub crusty food remnants off your pans. It also means you can stop buying aluminum foil, parchment paper, and cooking spray!
Promising review: "Our hopes in purchasing this product was to eliminate the need for parchment or foil paper. So we put it to the ultimate test by making fathead dough and rolling it out directly onto the silicone baking mat. I could not believe it didn't stick during the rolling out or the actual baking process. We continuously put it to the test and we've not had any issues as of yet. We just love this great find!!!" —Amazon Customer

And they come with a cute little cleaning brush too!
Get a three-pack from our Goodful Shop for $12.99 (also available as a six-pack).
23. A Kindle Paperwhite, which bookworms will cherish for all of eternity. It requires an upfront splurge, but it's worth it when you realize how much you'll save on all the expensive books you were buying.
Promising review: "I LOVE my Kindle Paperwhite! I recently upgraded from an old Kindle that didn't have a backlight, and what a difference. I really love being able to read in bed at night without needing to have a light on. The battery life is fantastic. The Kindle is great for travel, so you don't have to dedicate luggage space to a large number of books, but also great for just keeping with you or having around the house. It's so lightweight and thin. I recommend for any avid reader!" —Marissa T

Promising review: "Love this bib! Silicone is the way to go with baby bibs. Easy to clean, soft, and mailable, it’s got several size options so baby can grow into it. The pocket for catching inevitable food drops has saved many an outfit. Did I mention how easy it is to clean? Washes easy in warm soap and water." —Amy Haggard

These wool dryer balls are designed to last for 1,000 loads or more!
Admittedly, it has taken me some time to wean myself off of dryer sheets. Now that I've been using wool dryer balls for a few months, I'm never going back! These help my laundry dry SO much faster, but everything also comes out feeling sooo soft and there are no wrinkles in sight. Less chemicals, less waste, and the money saved on dryer sheets are some nice bonus points, too.
Promising review: "So many of my friends in FL use these. I live in Chicago and live in a 30 story condo with a large laundry room that I have to pay to do my laundry. These are a game changer in every way! They reduce the drying time in half which also equates to saving me money since I pay 25 cents per 8 minutes of drying time. Also, my towels and clothes are more fluffy and soft!!! Buy these now!!" —Denielle1460
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a pack of four or 12).
28. An unbreakable dinnerware set because no, you don't have to keep buying disposable plates or cutlery. These cuties won't break, so they're much easier to care for than fragile ceramic dinnerware that costs a fortune to replace!
This 28-piece set is dishwasher *and* microwave safe and comes with bowls, plates, cups, and cutlery for four.
Promising review: "The packaging was simple and these plates are exactly the no-fuss daily use product we wanted. The box was so small that I was worried I had ordered kids’ plates, but they are actually full-size plates and bowls, as well as cutely packaged silverware. They even included a little foldable cup. I love the colors, but mostly I love that they are wheat straw instead of plastic. It is an excellent choice." —umbo
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in six colors).
29. A washable drip catcher that'll save you SO many paper towels and/or dirty dish towels. Place this around the neck of your faucet and never clean up those tiny puddles again.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga loves this! Here's what she has to say: "I'm obsessed with candles, so it was a no-brainer for my husband to gift me this surprisingly super-fun gadget for Christmas. It's really simple to use and charge, and it really works! If you're someone who gets a thrill from RAW POWER this is sort of the product for you. No, it's not a super-intense gadget, relax pyromaniacs, but it does buzz and produce a burst of electricity that I personally find exciting. AND I'll never have to buy another lighter again! Stop burning your fingers on matches and pick up one of these bad boys."

When it's time to clean, just pop out the little ball, rinse, and air dry.
Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited.

Promising review: "I love this shampoo bar. I was a little hesitant as I have never used a bar before. It works better than my home shampoo. Simply rub it on and watch it generously lather up. My thin hair looks much fuller and doesn’t get oily as soon so I can go an extra day or two between shampooing. A travel plus. Great product." —Wanda Daily

I'd like some larger ones. You'll need at least 6. Good for anything you used paper towels for before. Cotton is soft, classy, and good for years! Saves money over time; win-win!" —LovemyPens
