    Save A Bit Of Extra Money With These 29 Products That Pay For Themselves

    Spend a little, save a lot. 🤑

    1. A set of reusable zipper storage bags you can rinse out and use over and over again. They come in snack, sandwich, and gallon sizes and can be used for everything from keeping produce fresh to a handy weekend toiletry bag.

    2. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets because, uh, have you ever cleaned the inside of your washing machine? Did you know that doing so can actually prolong the life of your washing machine? As well as prevent your clothes from smelling and getting damaged? Take care of your washing machines, people — they're not cheap to replace!

    3. A stainless-steel wine stopper so you can keep your half-finished bottle tasting fresh and delicious for up to 10 days after you pop the cork. Now you can finally buy that expensive bottle you've been eyeing and enjoy a few sips every night for a week so you really get your money's worth.

    4. Or a bottle of red wine stain remover if you tend to spill more than you sip. So please, stop panicking — this spray *actually works* and will prevent you from having to pay thousands of dollars to replace your carpet. Everybody makes mistakes!

    5. Zymox Pet Ear Cleaner to keep your pet's ears looking and feeling healthier than ever. It can also help prevent nasty infections and complications down the road that'll undoubtedly result in a hefty bill from your veterinarian.

    6. A handheld garment steamer that works on all kinds of fabrics, because steaming is WAY more fun than ironing. AND, you'll save money from having to get all your clothes pressed at the dry cleaners. 🤑

    7. A TubShroom because constantly using store-bought drain cleaners takes a toll on your wallet AND the environment. It's effectively like ~pouring money down the drain~, so to speak.

    8. A set of Rubbermaid food-saver containers to keep all your produce fresh and ripe for a few extra days. These will save you time, money, and most importantly, unnecessary trips to the grocery store.

    9. A pack of cable savers that'll protect your chargers, aux cords, and headphones from fraying and becoming damaged.

    11. Reusable makeup remover pads that come with a mesh laundry bag so you can simply toss them in the wash and never have to buy disposable ones ever again.

    12. A roll of adhesive weather stripping you can use to prevent unwanted dust, wind, sound, and cold air from entering your home. It's easy to apply and will likely help lower your utility bills.

    13. Hope's Perfect Sink Cleaner & Polish that'll magically restore the bottom of your kitchen sink and remove all those unsightly stains and scratches. When you think about it, sinks never really "go bad," we just replace them when they look old and dirty. This polish should buy you a few years.

    14. A budgeting planner filled with expense trackers, worksheets and fun stickers designed to make getting financially fit a little more enjoyable.

    15. A fabric shaver to remove all the pilling on your fav sweaters so you don't have to buy new ones (even though you really, really want to). 😬

    16. A candle accessory set because trimming the wick can add SO much more burn time to all those expensive candles you've been buying lately. 🕯️

    17. A toilet bowl ring remover that'll have your toilet shining bright like a diamond, which means you won't have to constantly buy cleaning sprays (or a new toilet).

    18. A grout cleaning pen to restore your grout tile lines and instantly take your bathroom from drab to fab. After using this pen, that expensive tile you've been thinking about will be able to wait a few years.

    19. A pack of Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes that make being a plant parent easier than ever. If you're the person who buys new plants every year because your old ones keep dying, these will be a godsend. 🌱

    20. A pack of Shout dye-trapping sheets so you can wash your colored *and* white laundry in the same load. Fewer loads = lower utility bills. And, let's be real, who actually wants to sit around and sort their clothes?? Not me. Big no. These are a win.

    21. And, a pack of wool dryer balls that'll reduce your overall drying time while also making your clothes super soft and wrinkle-free.

    22. A charcoal toothpaste to brighten your smile without changing up your regular brushing routine. Whitening sessions can get expensive, and strips can be pesky to apply everyday — this makes whitening mindless AND cheap. 🦷

    23. A roll of eco-friendly, reusable bamboo towels, because paper products are low-key expensive? Using the ceramic plates in your cupboards and your REAL silverware can also save you a lot of money in the long run.

    24. An Ecotools makeup brush shampoo to extend the life of your brushes by cleansing out months (OK, years??) of buildup. It'll condition bristles back to their original glory in literally a matter of minutes.

    25. A pack of cleaning wipes because, even though you try your best to avoid mud puddles and excess salt in the winter, your boots somehow ALWAYS end up looking like you just walked through a swamp. 🥴

    26. A bottle of Acure brightening facial scrub to brighten your complexion in one easy step. You don't need a regimen with a ton of expensive products to get you that ~glow~ you're chasing. This'll exfoliate away excess oil and treat breakouts while highlighting your clear complexion underneath.

    27. An avocado slicing tool you can use to split, pit, and slice just as well as your favorite brunch place — which means you can get that ~avo aesthetic~ without having to pay $16 for a piece of toast. 🥑

    28. A cold brew maker (a BuzzFeed Shopping favorite), because your coffee habit shouldn't break the bank! Plus, staying home and channeling your inner barista is *way* more fun than picking up the same boring mobile order day after day, imo.

    29. And, a set of glass meal-prep containers that'll encourage you to actually, well, meal prep! Cooking your meals at home can save you soooooo much money, rather than ordering takeout every night. And these containers will allow you to make pretty, Instagramable meals for the week. ✨
