    37 Things That'll Save You Money In The Long Run

    Including an empowering DIY manual, something to repair fallen pool floats, and an easy way to make sparkling water on the go.

    1. A spackle wall repair kit if you're a renter and moving out anytime soon. This can help fill in those little holes from wall art that your landlord could possibly use as ammunition for withholding your security deposit. 

    The kit includes 1x wall mending agent (100g), 1x nozzle extender, 1x scraper, and 1x sanding sponge.

    Promising review: "Saved me a lot of money when I moved out from the apartment. Quick fix." —Al Yi

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99

    2. And if you're a renter who's not afraid of a little DIY (or *want* to be that person), the book Safe and Sound will give you the confidence and new-found knowledge to tackle repairs. You'll probably recognize the author Mercury Stardust — Trans Handy Ma'am — from TikTok and Instagram where she posts sooo much cheerful, encouraging DIY tips that I personally just like to watch over and over. 

    book cover
    Amazon

    The book has 50+ renter-friendly projects like replacing your shower head or troubleshooting a faulty garbage disposal so you can seriously upgrade your dwellings, especially if you have a v unhelpful landlord or super. Mercury — a transwoman, LGBTQIA+ advocate, and professional maintenance technician — wants people to feel empowered to fix a maintenance issue without having to open your home to strangers to do repairs. As someone who lives in an NYC rental, I know how empowering it can feel to do some minor repairs and not have to wait around for maintenance (even though my current rental situation has an amazing super who's incredibly helpful — love you, John!). You can download it to your Kindle now and pre-order a hardcover. (ICYMI, pre-ordering books is a huge help to authors!) 

    Get it from Amazon on Kindle for $11.99 or pre-order the hardcover for $22.49 (will release on Aug. 23, 2023).

    3. portable sparkling water maker so you can customize your favorite bev with you as you like on the go without having to hunt down your fave can of seltzer in a quaint little town (maybe a little too quaint) on a day trip. You just fill it up with water and put the cap on to get fizzy.

    Each bottle comes with 20 mini CO2 cartridges (with more refills available separately). 

    Check out a TikTok of the Ote sparkling water maker in action. 

    Promising review: "Love this bottle/soda maker. I am obsessed with fizzy drinks and cannot take my bulkier at-home maker with me to work or when I travel. This maker allowed me the compact convenience of taking my fizzy drinks everywhere I go. I can control what I put in my body and always get my flavors I love. 10 out of 10 do recommend! —Zeusboomer911

    Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in seven colors). 

    4. A Yonanas fruit soft serve maker to help satisfy your cravings for sweet frozen treats this season without loading your family up in the car to go to the gelato place that your kids learned about from their friends. Fancy kids you've got there!

    Promising review: "I saw one of these in action at a friend's house like five years ago and thought it was just a made up memory, because making ice cream out of solely frozen fruit seems wild. But when I saw a TikTok about it I immediately went to Amazon and bought it. Literally this was the BEST decision of my life. I cannot believe still how amazing this thing is! It makes the creamiest, best-tasting fruit ice cream ever. It’s easy to take apart and clean, and super easy to use." —DMCKAY

    Get it from Amazon for $39.98+ (available in six colors). 

    5. A detergent holder and drip tray that'll cradle those super-size bargain jugs you've actively avoided just because they're so unwieldy to handle. With this, you can buy those big ole boys and get out every last drop for some serious savings. 

    Skywin is a small business that makes an array of home organizational products.

    Promising review: "I love everything about this laundry detergent holder. I am buying the large size detergent for a lot cheaper and it's so easy to use. Best investment ever!!!" —Mimi

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors).

    6. A budget-friendly body oil that reviewers use in place of pricier ones as a body and hand moisturizer, cuticle oil, and even an eye makeup remover. 

    It's a blend of almond, lavender, olive, and grapeseed oil. 

    Promising review: "I have been using an expensive oil and when I received this and compared the two products by: smell, texture, and application, this product is every bit as good, if not better. The money I save using this product will be more to spend on something else. I'm happy that I found this product." —Patricia

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    7. An inflatable pool and float patch repair kit so you can revive that cute FunBoy float you dropped money on last year only for your little cousin to pop a hole in it. Or maybe keep around JUST IN CASE you need it for your new inflatable backyard pool. 

    Promising review (for the above pic): "So far so good. Going on five days now." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    8. A universal stroller cup holder to keep your beverage upright and nearby instead of all over you, desperate for some stain remover and a new Venti iced coffee. This also works on grocery carts, bicycles, stationary bikes, collapsible chairs, the back of car seats and even more!

    Ryan & Rose is a family-owned small business that specializes in parenting and home products. 

    Promising review: "This is the best invention ever! Our stroller does not have a cup holder, now I can hold my drink or my phone/keys/sunglasses. I also bought two more so our boys can keep their water bottles in one spot since they lose them all the time. I’ve put them in the house and I’ve hung them in the car. I think I need 10 more of these things. Must have product." —Healthnut

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in 11 colors). 

    9. A couple of overnights oats jars with a spoon that hooks onto to the side as a lil' motivation if you're lured into making yourself breakfast or lunch to take to the office with a cute storage container. Sometimes it's the smallest things that serve as that motivation! Or at least for me.

    Promising review: "Saw this on Instagram and purchased it to make overnight chia pudding (because quick breakfast). Love that it is glass and can be put in the dishwasher so that is A+. Being 10 ounces, it does hold a lot and I do get full from eating my meals." —Lawrence & Ariel

    Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine color combos).

    10. A silicone stopper that'll fit right over your shower drain to catch hair before it goes down your drain, clogs, and forces you into buying a $10 bottle of drain clog cleaner. *Also* this is a little more obvious of a hair-catching solution than the Tubshroom if you've found that's not obvious enough to remind you to clear the hair! (I know I have that problem.) 

    *Though* if you're in the market for a drain clog cleaner, I swear by the Green Gobbler. 

    Promising review: "It catches hair and saves time, and especially money, on cleaning the drainage." —CNRODZ

    Get two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight color combos).

    11. A set of towel clips you'll be grateful you packed for your beach trip (or just day at the beach) once the wind kicks up as you're 20 feet away tossing a football with your pals. No more lost towels!

    Check out a TikTok of the towel clips in action. 

    Promising review: "I purchased these for a family of eight going on a cruise and they loved them! So easy to use, just put your towel on the beach chair and clip down with these. They said they were especially awesome on windy days when others towels were blowing away if they were not sitting on the chair. The family was able to go to lunch or take a walk and not worry that their towels had been blown away and someone had then snagged their seats. Very inexpensive and functional clips." —TypeA

    Get a set of 16 from Amazon for $9.99

    12. beach umbrella table as an affordable upgrade to your existing beach equipment. It'll loft your phone, current beverage, and snack bag of chips from the pesky sand. Depending on how clumsy you are, you might even make back the money from one beach trip when you don't have re-buy sandwiches because they landed in the sand. 

    Check out a TikTok of the beach umbrella table in action. 

    Promising review: "This worked great for our beach trip! It was nice to be able to have everything out of the sand. We had placed it up at the top by the umbrella and down low so we could reach it while on our chairs. I’d definitely recommend this." —TJ

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four styles). 

    13. A spice spinner with a larger section in the middle to hold taller bottles. It'll help free up kitchen cabinet space *and* help you better find all those spices you have before they 1) expire or 2) you needlessly buy its twin at the grocery store.

    Promising review: "I used this for spices which are always difficult to easily display and save space at the same time. I especially appreciate the central cutout space which allows for taller containers. It provides easy access." —Sheila Bartley

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

    14. A 20-pack (!) of extra thick magic cleaning pads that folks compare to Mr. Clean Magic Eraser — which is great if you're forever finding a job for those little pads and you always seem to need to replenish. This bulk size will last you awhile and once it's time to repurchase, it'll feel a little less painful.

    Promising reviews: "These are the best. Sooo much better than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Won't buy those anymore and these will last me a very long time. I scrubbed and they got everything clean and didn't break apart!!! Can even reuse if I wanted." —miguel mendez

    "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie

    Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $13.95.

    15. A simple tennis bracelet in case you're yearning for a version made by Swarovski or other heavy hitters. Will it last forever? Eh. Will you have to rearrange your monthly budget for a few a few months to afford it? Absolutely not.

    Promising review: "Soooo pretty. It’s 100% a Swarovski [alternative] for so cheap. Looks exactly like the photo and I wear it every day." —Trysten Walters

    Get it from Amazon for $15.45+ (available in four styles, three sizes, and a two-pack). 

    16. A tub of OxiClean baby stain fighter and soaker because for someone so tiny and adorable, your kid really does create a series of increasingly horrifying messes. A lil' pre-soak in this will actually get out those tough stains.

    Pink topped packaging for baby OxiClean

    It's chlorine-, dye-, and perfume-free. 

    Promising review: "Incredible results! I used this on four garments that my newborn had pooped on. The stains had set and run through the wash twice already. Well, after soaking them for four hours in this product, they came out using what I have to imagine is some magical formula. This is a must-have for any parent!" —Metro West Mama

    Get it from Amazon for $7.96.

    17. A slow feeder dog bowl insert that's slightly cheaper than buying a whole new slow feeder bowl. But most importantly, will force your dog to eat a bit more slowly instead of inhaling and then throwing up their food. 

    Promising review: "My pittie had a habit of INHALING his food. No chewing, just swallowing mouthfuls (he's fed three times a day plus treats, so he's not starved).. Everyone kept saying get a slow feeder because he would eat so fast that he'd either have poor digestion and his breath smelled like fish OR he'd throw up a bowl of food. Well, neither of those have happened. The second this arrived I scrubbed it down and gave him a bowl of food, no problems so far. He was at his bowl a little longer. He tried to pull it out but couldn't so that's a huge plus." —Nini

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes).

    18. An Elizavecca's Cer-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment that's a steal at $7 and reviewers compare it to the much pricier Olaplex. Your hair takes on a lot in the summer. You might as well be proactive about keeping it soft and healthier looking.

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I saw this as a beauty recommendation on BuzzFeed as an alternative to Olaplex (which I had tried and wasn't blown away by) so I thought I would give it a try — and I'm so thankful I did! My bleached and heat-damaged hair feels so soft, is more manageable, and looks healthier after each use. I agree with other reviewers that it seems like a big price tag for the size of the bottle, but a little bit does go a long way and it is so worth it. I wish it came in a larger size bottle so I didn't have to reorder so quickly." —Carly S. Whitson

    Get it from Amazon for $7.90.

    BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Bek O' Connell has this and loves it! Check out her full Elizavecca Protein Hair Treatment review for more info. 

    19. A portable safe that'll attach to a beach chair to keep your valuables safe or to keep your passport in your hotel room in case there's no safe or the safe isn't working. If you've never dealt with a stolen wallet or phone on vacation, consider yourself lucky. It's incredibly annoying and ends up costing you quite a bit of $$$.)

    reviewer's pink personal safe that's attached to a beach chair at the beach

    Like most people (I hope?) I’m always a little iffy about taking a dip in the water at the beach and leaving my wallet and phone on the beach. So when I booked a 2.5-week Europe trip with LOTS of beaching involved, I bought one of these Master Lock safes that I’ve put in multiple stories. It was a bit bulky in my suitcase, but I left it unlocked and put some stuff in there so it wasn’t just dead space. It came in handy at multiple beach clubs, where my friend and I stashed our credit cards, cash, and case-less phones while we frolicked in the sea. Despite lots of people milling about our umbrella while we had our fun, we felt our stuff was completely safe and could concentrate on *just* having fun. 

    Promising review: "Just buy it. It's smaller than I had originally thought it might be, but it's perfect none the less. Love this little lock box that you could easily use as a purse when traveling, or at a festival." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in three colors).

    20. A sunglasses organizer with five slots to safely keep all sunnies organized and protected from breakage in your luggage. And it ends up taking up a lot less room in your luggage than you'd think!

    Reviewer photo of the organize hanging with sunglasses in each compartment

    See it in action on TikTok here

    Promising review: "This organizer is even better quality than expected. It's really sturdy and solid. Great craftsmanship. It's super cool looking. Definitely looks more expensive than what you pay. The material where the glasses are held is extremely soft like suede, so this should prevent scratches and protect them while transporting. I really like that it has a way of keeping the glasses in place. I noticed other similar items don't have this feature, which is why I chose this above the others." —Namiko Minakata

    Get it from Amazon for $29.49+ (available in four styles).

    21. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks if you've had sticker shock from the $24 Laneige lip mask but would still love to try out something similar. This trio runs under $10 so your wallet and dry, cracked lips will be thankful you went for these.

    closeup of reviewer's lips looking soft and moisturized

    For reference, the Laneige lip mask contains 20 grams of product, while each of these measures 5 grams, or 15 grams for the entire set. So even with product sizes taken into account, these are a much better deal! 

    Promising review: "[Alternative] for the Laneige lip mask. This is the most moisturizing lip treatment in the market. When my lips started getting dry due to the cold season I was thinking of buying the Laneige lip mask, but it’s soooo expensive. This is a fraction of the cost and feels just the same. Very good product." —Riya

    Get it from Amazon for $9.90 (available in four combos). 

    22. A set of 10 quick-dry nail polishes if you've been shelling out for pro manis because you can't seem to successfully let your at-home manis dry before smudging them. These are designed to last for several days and you can easily peel off the color once you're ready to swap to something else.

    Promising review: "The set comes in various colors and they are all beautiful. The polish has a big brush that covers the nail easily. The polish is opaque but I did two coats. It didn't stain my nails or has a strong smell. The polish dried up quickly. I cook and clean, so it started to wear off on the fourth day. But I can repaint because of the easy application and fast drying." —perksofbeautyblog

    Get 10 bottles from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five color combinations).

    23. Plus a set of press-on toenails that'll look like you got a pedi...except for less than $10. I've tried these and they're SO convincing!

    Promising review: "No need for a nail shop anymore. I love how lightweight these are and they literally melt into your actual toenails, they look just like I got gel on my toes and look so natural. Also I’ve had them on almost two weeks haven’t lost one!" —Bunz

    Get them from Amazon for $8.99 (available in a variety of colors and designs).

    24. Dashing Diva semi-cured gel nail strips can bring some fun nail art into your life without applying a decal or making a salon visit. These stick on like thicker decals and then are cured with a (separately sold) quickie LED lamp for a hard-as-press-ons design that travels well. Not to state the obvious, but the strips (and the light) together cost way less than a mani with nail art.

    Dashing Diva

    Out of all the nail art products I've tried (and I've tried LOTS), these reign supreme. They do require a little more work than simply gluing on some press-ons. But if you feel comfortable shaping your own nails, you can use these pretty easily. You can easily size them to a nail, peel them off a plastic backing, press firmly, then trim with clippers or nail scissors (nail scissors are a bit easier) to fit the strip flush with the shape of your nail, pop your finger under the LED lamp for 45 seconds, and then run a nail file over the edge of the nail to seal on the look. I like to also put on a top coat, though that's not required or recommended by the company. When you're done with the look, you can easily pop them off like press-on nails. I always wear these for vacation now and easily pack backup strips and the UV light (about the size of an Apple mouse) in my carry-on for touchups. 

    Get them from Dashing Diva for $14 (available in many more designs).

    25. A pocket-size, refillable travel perfume atomizer you simply pump on your normal-size perfume bottle to keep you smelling like your signature scent while you're on the go. Sorry Le Labo, I shan't be buying your travel size too. 

    Atomizer pumping on a perfume bottle
    Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed

    ^ That's me pumping my signature perfume into one of these travel atomizers I've been using for about a year. As the reviewer below mentions, it's great to just throw in your purse on the reg for a fragrance re-up throughout the day. As you can see, it's about the size of my thumb and therefore takes up very little room. Plus, it's smaller than most roller-ball travel fragrances you can pick up. This first one is working so well that I just have the other three in storage. But if this one bites the dust this summer during travels, I'll be OK with digging into my stores to use one of the remaining three...especially at this price point. 

    Promising review: "These work so great. Love it!!! I put my favorite perfumes in each one. When I wear a perfume, I put the matching one to the perfume I’m wearing for the day in my purse so I can freshen up my scent later! I like to smell pretty all day!!! They are small and compact but hold enough before you have to refill as well." —Nikki

    26. A incredibly practical Stojo collapsible travel cup (that comes with a straw!) in case you are DETERMINED to not buy coffee when you're out. You can bring this from home and not get super annoyed carrying it around bc it'll easily collapse into a flatter form you can slip into your tote. (Not buying coffee out WON'T make you automatically rich, but you bought that Costco size of coffee grounds and don't want it to go bad.)

    Check out a TikTok of the Stojo collapsible cup in action. 

    Stojo is a small business that specializes in dishwasher-, microwave-safe storage and travel products with the goal of eliminating single-use plastics. 

    Promising review: "I take my lunch to work and during mid day I like to use the Keurig to brew a cup of coffee. The 12-ounce Stojo cup I purchased is very practical. It is thick and durable. The plastic collar enables you to hold the cup without squeezing it or burning your hands on the hot walls of the cup. It seals well so you don't have to worry about leaking your drink on your shirt. It even has some reasonable thermal properties. There is enough volume in the cup to allow for the 12-ounce brew plus ample creamer. It's not a stainless vacuum cup, but it does hold its temperature better than your typical gas station or coffee shop cup. Plus you have the advantage of being able to reheat your drink in the microwave which you can't do with a stainless cup. Washes easily too. If you want a 12-ounce cup that keeps your drink hot or cold for a long time, this isn't the cup for you. But if you need something practical that will keep your coffee warm for 30–45 minutes, can be reheated in a microwave, and collapses to the dimensions of a tall hockey puck, this is a good purchase. You'll have it for years." —ViciousCycle

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes and nine colors). 

    27. A mold and mildew remover spray that won't just perform some magic in your shower, but it'll also clean up your deck and outdoor furniture in time for your famous July 4th barbecue. You simply spray, wait 15 seconds, and the mold vanishes.

    It works on wood, tile, fiberglass, showers, floors, counters, and grout!

    RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional-grade cleaning solutions for your home.

    Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner

    28. A pack of eight sock keepers will help your cozy footwear keep its mate in the wash because your family seems to go THROUGH socks because of missing socks.

    Promising review: "I've tried a few different sock holders. These are the best I've found. Sturdy material and they hold the socks together securely in the washer and dryer. The best part is that the design allows my athletic socks to be easily inserted. Not only do they keep socks from going rogue, but they really make it super easy to sort the laundry when it's out of the dryer. Grab 'em and toss them in the drawer; a real time-saver because there's no more searching in the pile and matching socks. You need these." —Just a Guy

    29. An easy-to-install TV wall mount that won't require hiring out a handy person or Task Rabbit. It holds up to 80 lbs., doesn't require any studs (no, but really), and hands your TV flat. Now I'm calculating all the square footage *not* having a TV stand will give me in my tiny rental apartment.

    Promising review: "This product is extremely easy to install yourself on almost any type of wall because it distributes the weight so well. It works on drywall or plaster. I double checked the position by sliding the provided level across the wall and started by putting one nail in the center and then carefully at one end using the level. Once I was sure it was level, I carefully put in a half dozen more. You don’t need to use all of the nails provided! After I hung the TV I realized that one side seemed a little higher than the other and I took the TV off and realized I just needed to make sure the screws on the back of the TV were positioned properly." —Venona

    Get it from Amazon for $28+ (available for TVs 18"-55").

    30. A roll of clear heavy-duty double-sided removable tape that people use for all sorts of household mini projects instead of buying very specific products. (Sorry, it won't hang your TV!) You can use it to secure area rug corners, hang wall art, keep pretty vases in place on your bookshelf...all kinds of uses. Oh, and you can easily remove it when you need to with zero residue left behind. A dream for renters especially, but also great for homeowners!

    Promising review: "So, I bought these beautiful acrylic shelves from Amazon and the sticky adhesive wasn't bad, it just wasn't sturdy and one of my shelves fell. Luckily nothing broke, but after that I immediately ordered this tape, which I got in two days, and I installed it as soon as I got it. Beautiful!!!! Works well, very sticky, I love that it's thick because it also helped with balancing. My walls seem to not be completely straight. So with this product I was able to stick the shelves up perfectly without them looking like they are dropping over. And on that note they are great and amazing with the help of this company. Thank you!" —Trinity

    31. A Clorox pool clarifier to make your backyard's showpiece much more appealing to swim in — all for less than $10 a pop and without having to track down a pool cleaner. 

    Promising reviews: "This is one of the greatest products I have gotten for my pool, I am really satisfied with it." —Kinis A blanco

    "After one year of having an in-ground pool in Florida, the water was cloudy. I trying to get the water clean by running filter 24/7 and brushing daily for a week to no avail. I used 1.5 ounces of this and the water was clear a day later. Cleaned out the pool filter a day after to get clear it all out. Happy with the purchase and would recommend to others." —jvb

    32. A rechargeable, hands-free personal fan with six speeds that'll make all kinds of tasks way more bearable without you having to treat yourself to some ice cream. It's a medical emergency!

    Promising review: "The older I get, the less tolerant of the heat I become, and I live in Texas where summers can sometimes last eight months, so I was anxious to try this fan. I was NOT disappointed! My order arrived a day early, and since It was 97 degrees Fahrenheit outside, I immediately ripped open the box and turned it on. I was not disappointed! It fit comfortably over my neck, and the dual fans are adjustable so you can position them however is most comfy for you. The unit has six settings from soft, intermittent breeze to the highest constant speed, which is my personal favorite choice since I sweat easily and this keeps me the coolest. I've been saying for years that someone needs to make a personal fan that hangs over your shoulders or around your neck, and someone finally has!" —Shirley W

    33. BestLand's Matte Liquid Lipstick Set in case you, like me, recently cleaned out your liquid lippies collection only to realize that they've all expired. This super affordable set comes with six fade- and smudge-proof lippies that reviewers compare to the likes of Tarte, Nars, Stila, and Kylie Cosmetics.

    Promising review: "What can I say, I saw a TikTok about this lipstick and for $10 had to try it! The reviews are right, for some reason this lipstick is better than even $20 name brand ones bought from Ulta. Not only does it smell great, but dries in under a minute and survived eating a cupcake, a Starbucks drink, and an entire evening out, no smudging and had to be removed with a makeup wipe. Fantastic product!!" —Claire

    34. An epilator for long-lasting hair removal that'll help you go several weeks without the next hair removal sesh. And the initial cost is on par (or much less, depending on where you live) than getting a leg wax.

    It has massage rollers and two speed settings!

    Promising review: "It hurts but it works :) I haven't shaved my legs in months and used to have to every three to four days. I've seen the best results on my armpits; I used to shave them every other day but since I epilated two weeks ago, I've seen no hair growth and no hair shadow. Way more convenient than waxing, too, because you can target individual shorter hairs as they grow in rather than waiting for everything to grow back a certain length. Also IDK if this is true, but my grandma told me that after she used an epilator for five-ish years she pretty much stopped growing hair. It also hurts less every time you do it, so don't get discouraged by the very painful first session." —k3upikachu

    35. A Dyson Airwrap storage shelf to keep your $$$ tools safe and keep 'em all at eye level. Yes the train case the v handy hairstyler comes in is gorgeous, but it's too bulky if you have a small bathroom.

    36. A baking measurements conversion chart so you can once again try to recreate something you saw on GBBO — except this time not waste the ingredients because you calculated incorrectly.  

    Promising review: "I use a lot of French and British recipes for baking, these use weight measurements instead of cups and teaspoons. With this guide I can see at a glance if I have enough if the ingredients on hand for the chosen recipe." —Tristen

    37. recessed light converter that, for just a little more than a Sweetgreen salad, will get you a custom pendant light look that feels more YOU. 

    This converter's brace adjusts to fit recessed cans that are 4, 5, or 6 inches, plus works for sloped ceilings up to 45 degrees.

    Promising review: "This product works exactly as advertised. It converts a recessed light so that you can install another light fixture, and it does not require that you remove the metal can from your ceiling. This is convenient because these cans can be obnoxious to remove, and the hole left in your ceiling is probably bigger than you want for your new fixture anyway. My large dining room stupidly had ONE recessed light for the entire room. I used this product to install a chandelier." —The Mamos
