    49 Products Under $10 That'll Basically Pay For Themselves Over And Over Again

    Eco-friendly K-cups, a humidifier-cleaning "fish," a reusable budgeting tool, and way more.

    1. An oral care water additive for your beloved pup that'll protect their chompers from plaque and tartar buildup, plus prevent bad breath — no brushing required.

    2. A red wine stain remover in a mini size that'll work on ink, coffee, blood stains, and more.

    3. Bandages that'll ACTUALLY match your skin tone to make your healing process seamless and less uncomfortable. Plus, now you won't have to wear your kid's Minion bandages.

    Promising review: "I never post reviews, but this is a unique circumstance. I bought these screen protectors because they were cheap and came in a pack — probably not the best approach when trying to protect an $800 device. But, at the end of the day, these did exactly what they were supposed to do when a 15-pound dumbbell slipped out of my wife's hand and fell directly onto the screen. After telling my wife there was no way her screen didn't crack, I pulled back the cover to reveal a crack-free, fully intact screen. And that's why you buy screen protectors in packs!" —Geoffrey Forman

    7. A cute humidifier cleaning fish to prevent bacteria buildup in your evaporative humidifier. Plus, as one reviewer says, it'll scratch your itch for a pet fish — I won't tell if you get two so your babe can have a pal in its "tank."

    Reviewers recommend that you check the size of your humidifier before ordering, as the fish may not fit in smaller humidifiers.

    Promising review: "These things are AMAZING! I went from having to Clorox my ultrasonic humidifier tank every few days to every month, if that. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to not have to worry about it! I feel like they work quite a bit longer than advertised, but that may depend on water temp, if the water is distilled (this is what we use, as our water is REALLY hard otherwise) vs. filtered vs. not, etc. Will definitely buy again!" —CindyR

    Get it from Amazon for $5.28 (also available in a pack of two).

    8. Nature Republic aloe vera gel for quick-acting moisture and to soothe painful sunburns or post-shave skin. Aloe vera: nature's very own miracle worker.

    9. A 10-in-1 spray that does it all: detangles, controls frizz, provides heat protection, boosts shine, strengthens hair, hydrates, and more. Basically, it's a low-maintenance, high-performing dream.

    10. A setting powder for keeping your oily T-zone looking flawlessly matte, even during seasons when it feels like you're sweating off your makeup (and possibly your skin).

    11. A pack of slow cooker liners that'll make preparing food and cleaning up as easy as possible. Just discard the liner once you're finished, 'cause why scrub anything clean if you don't have to?

    Promising review: "LOVE THESE. I looked for this brand because I have some of their old highlighters from my sister (at least 10 years old) and none of them have dried out and they’re all super vibrant. So when I went looking for pastel colors because I do a lot of text book highlighting and I feel like sometimes the purple, blue and green of normal highlighters are a bit dark, these did not disappoint. They are beautiful pastels, glide super smoothly. Love them lots." —EC

    Promising reviews: "One of the best purchases we made last year. Such a small, simple item that supplies so much utility & pleasure. We store more stress in our heads than we realize and this provides a wonderful in-shower massage, plus our scalps and hair are tangibly healthier. Thumbs up." —Bryan Dunn

    "I'm seriously mind blown at this product. I never really dealt with a dry scalp until the past year or two, which started due to stress. I bought this on a whim, and after one use, all my dryness/flakes were gone. I seriously couldn't believe it! It is actually very sturdy, so I have easily been able to get through my thick hair to scrub my scalp, and that's saying something because I have a TON of thick hair. If you have dry scalp issues, TRY THIS!!! And even if you don't, I'd still recommend it because it helps you clean your scalp a million times better than just using your hands." —Kayla Goodman

    Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

    16. A sturdy, lightweight eight-compartment pill organizer for consolidating your prescriptions and just-in-case medicines to keep in your bag, so if you get a surprise migraine (ugh) or forgot to take your morning medication, you'll be covered.

    Promising review: "LOVE THESE! They are perfect in every way. It's the pill organizer box I didn't know I needed. They are durable, easy to use, and waterproof! The compartments are a good size and it fits nicely into my bag. I am going on a five-week trip and need to take six different prescription meds and supplements with me. I'm happy to say that I will be well organized with these pill boxes." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I have been looking for to get started organizing my budget in spreadsheet form! I've always been a pencil/paper budget person, but I have some BIG goals, and wanted to up my game. I also needed something that my partner could check in on and add to as we have joint financials. This is perfect for us. We have been using it for a few weeks, and have already been able to tuck more of our money away where we want it to go. Thank you!" —Kristin

    Note that while the listing pictures all five colors, you'll only receive one color at random. 

    Promising review: "My dog Hazel LOVES this duck! She has had it for nine months now, and it’s still intact! It somehow made it through her teething as a puppy. She rips and tears apart all of her toys, but this one still looks decent!" —Emily Ann

    Promising review: "I am sure that I have washed, washed and washed again dishes that were already clean (along with dirty dishes of course). The dishwasher is not always emptied immediately after running a cycle and because of that, my family has VERY often mixed dirty with clean, and vice versa. We needed to find a way to 'remember' and this was a great solution. So glad to have this sticking on my dishwasher." —T. W. Barton

    Promising review: "Love these pillowcases. Very soft and cool to the touch (which I love). I bought them because I've read several things stating that satin/silk pillow cases are better for your skin at night and avoiding breakouts (as opposed to cotton/linen). Seems to be helping with my stress breakouts and plus they are just really nice to sleep on. I would love to find sheets to match as well. Plus my cat loves them too LOL." —kelly

    Promising reviews: "These little critters are awesome! I like using them on the edge of my tea cup when I make hot tea. I just wrap the teabag string around the snail and it keeps everything from falling back into my tea. I like that each one has a different color and I keep them all handy to grab." —KA7DRE

    "I like having at LEAST one of these lovelies on the rim of whatever I’m drinking, so that we can gaze lovingly at each other each time I take a sip. I gave two away, and my son stole one for his drinks. I may need more snails." —CJRex

    Promising review: "I was in Arizona during a continuing 100+ heat wave on a vacay tour. I didn’t use it the first day and ended up with rubbed thighs due to rough seams on shorts and excessive heat. I then used this everyday without additional rubbing rash. This stuff is awesome!!!! I will not leave home again on travel without it. It was not wet or tacky, just glides very nicely. It held up in 113-degree heat. Without it, it would have been a very different vacation. Thank you for making this product!!!!" —Jennifer

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three sizes and in packs of two). 

    43. mountable cat-grooming brush to act as a ~third scratching hand~ if your fur baby's demands for petting are, in a word, ceaseless. Just attach its adhesive to a corner and witness both of your lives change for the better.

    Promising review: "I got this for my three-legged cat because he can't scratch his left side. I found these and he immediately LOVED it! The expression on his face when he first tried it was priceless. The only downside is that it's possible it'll fall off because it was hard for me to get all pieces of tape to stick on a corner at the same time, but I can always buy more double-sided tape so not a big deal to me. The product is for Floyd, not me, and he's happy so 5 stars." —WeedWendy

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    44. A hair-smoothing stick with a unique mascara-like brush applicator to tame flyaways, cowlicks, and frizz without an ounce more effort than is necessary.

    I (Haley) have 2c/3a hair that is prone to frizz, especially if I wear it in a ponytail or buns. I'm very low-effort when it comes to haircare, and this was such an unexpectedly great find for me. It smooths my hair immediately and holds for hours with natural, minimal ingredients, which has given back my confidence in my sometimes unruly mane. It's easy to wash out, too, without buildup.

    Promising review: "I have super-fine hair with lots of breakage. No matter how I put my hair up I have bad flyaways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hairspray." —Jill Stilfield

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available as a pack of two).

    45. Or a humidity-resistant edge control gel to help lay edges and baby hairs without flaking or appearing greasy.

    BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they want to! 

    Promising review: "Hands-down! The best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and nongreasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" —Mrs.Washington

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in five sizes and a pack of three).

    47. A brown sugar saver slash sweet lil' bear to keep in your brown sugar container, preventing your sug from turning rock solid.

    48. Some lightweight odor eliminators so your fave walking shoes will stay fresh and dry no matter how many miles you log in them. They're packed with moso bamboo charcoal, which naturally absorbs odor and moisture.

    The charcoal bag has no smell and absorbs excess moisture to prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria from forming on your clothes and in your bag. You can use them for up to two years, but you should put them outside in the sun for an hour once a month so they can ~rejuvenate~.

    Promising review: "I was skeptical this would work but boy howdy this is amazing! I never took my shoes off at people's houses because my feet sweat and stink. These took the odor out of not only newish shoes, but ones I've been wearing for years! It's amazing and I'm buying more." —Ashley Patrick
