    29 Products Under $20 That Mean Business

    You don't even need to do any complicated calculations to see these babies are totally worth the price.

    1. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder, which comes packaged in an easy-to-apply, perfect-for-travel powder puff applicator you just tap-tap-tap onto your hair. Just massage the ultra-fine powder into your roots (it's formulated with black ginseng and biotin btw!) and it'll quickly absorb excess oil, leaving you with volumized and refreshed-looking hair.

    Promising review: "I’ve tried a few dry shampoos, from the spray in a bottle to powder. And I’d have to say this one has been my favorite. My very first time using it, I didn’t know how much to put and ended up coating my hair by A LOT. It left my hair feeling very dry and straw-like. I almost returned and got a refund but decided to give it another chance. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY. Trust me. You only need a few dabs on your head and that’s it. You can see the extra volume almost instantly. This stuff works sooo well that I wake up on my third unwashed hair day and it looks better than the second day when I used the dry shampoo. And let’s not forget to mention how convenient and compact the whole thing is. It’s so nice to just pat it on your head with no mess." —Thuy

    2. An *under-$10* and surprisingly roomy duffel bag that ::dramatic musical cue:: actually fits the personal item requirements of several budget airlines. That means you can pack, pack, pack to your heart's content and save that pricey checked bag fee for...ya know...your actual trip.

    Promising reviews: "I packed 14 DAYS worth of clothes into THIS BAG. First of all, YES it fits in the Frontier and Spirit personal item bin. I had my bag stuffed to the brim, and with a strong push down into the bin, the bag fully fits. It’s very thin and moldable, which is beneficial for squeezing it into the bin. If the bag wasn’t stuffed, I’m sure it would fit into the bin without any resistance. But regardless, it worked perfectly and saved me SO much money by not buying a checked bag. I had a 14-day trip to Florida where it was very warm (so no winter clothes) and here’s what fit into the bag: one pair of platform sandals, one pair of jeans, two pairs of lounge pants, three shorts, two workout shorts, three workout bras, four skirts, four tank tops, one dress, four long-sleeve shirts, a robe, six underwear, six pairs of socks, four bras, two bikinis, a medium-sized toiletry bag and a hair brush. I had laundry available where I was staying, but even if I hadn’t, this bag probably would’ve held enough to get me by. BUY THIS BAG if you want to save money on flights. Don’t be alarmed if it doesn’t seem like it will fit into the bin, as long as you brought majority soft and flexible items, just shove it into the bin and it will fit!!!" —Nancy Hansford

    "Miracle bag. This bag is awesome! It is unreal how much stuff fits in it...but still goes perfectly under the seat. I will be checking a lot less luggage in the future thanks to this cheap little bag. Highly recommend!" —Jodi

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 40 styles).

    3. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 cleansing balm, a non-irritating makeup remover formulated with Japanese pearl barley to help brighten skin as it cleanses. Just scoop out a pea-sized amount (it comes with a lil' spatula!) and massage into your skin — it'll become a luxurious oil and gently dissolve allllll the makeup, SPF, dirt, oil, and more, leaving no residue behind *and* not overly stripping skin of moisture.

    Use on its own or pair with Juno & Co's reusable makeup remover pad ($8.99)!

    Promising review: "BEST PURCHASE I'VE MADE THIS YEAR! I was just going to take my mascara off with it and I ended up rubbing it all over my face lol! It’s like all the tiktok reviews etc say…perfect makeup remover. Buy this now and you will throw away what you’ve been using. My face feels so clean." —Michele

    Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit, it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" —Deetje Frederick

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99

    4. And/or a bar of gently exfoliating UpCircle face & body soap, which is formulated with green clay to draw out impurities and help clear up breakouts, plus shea butter so moisture isn't overly stripped. It's also made with fennel and cardamom, so washing your face might even feel like a treat!

    Some reviewers with dry or sensitive skin found this to be a bit drying for everyday use, btw!

    Promising review: "Love this soap. I've noticed a significant reduction in breakouts since I've started using it, and love that it comes as a bar so that I can use it easily on my shoulders and chest in the shower, as these have always been problem areas. Will definitely buy again!" —Lisey S.

    Get it from our Goodful shop for $10.

    5. A pair of BBQ grill lights, because the sun is starting to set earlier and earlier (I know, I don't like it either!) but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy grilling out on the patio, especially while it's still gorgeous out! Now you can keep an eye on those beautiful steaks to make sure they're cooked to perfection, even after sunset. 

    Promising review: "This was a surprise for my husband. He loves them. The lights are nice and bright, and make grilling those last few things that didn't get finished before dark hot. He's also used them early in the morning when he's setting the smoker up before dawn. He's happy and finding them very useful. He especially loves the magnet on the bottom so he can hang them off of so many things while he's busy, and he can use the flexibility to shine them where he needs them. Very awesome and easy to use." —Holly Gomez

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    6. A Scrub Daddy sponge holder to keep your very favorite cleaning tool suctioned to the side of your sink, ready to tackle any grimey task you want to throw his way. He'll drip dry between uses without leaving a mess *and* you'll free up a few square inches of precious counter space too!

    Promising review: "Finally a nice place to keep my Scrub Daddy. Holds great on the side of the sink. The suction power is strong for its size, and it rotates with ease. This is a good holder for the price." —Luis peralez

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99

    Storage Theory is a small business that specializes in unique storage solutions for every room in your home. 

    Psst — you can get a Scrub Daddy sponge here on Amazon! If you don't know what makes a Scrub Daddy different from other sponges, let me tell ya: it's firm in cold water (for tougher messes) but soft in warm water (for lighter cleaning). The scratch-free material is safe on tons of surfaces: glass, stainless steel, cast iron, nonstick, chrome, copper, etc. And if you thought the face was just a gimmick, think twice — the eye and smile holes are great for quickly cleaning large and small utensils!

    7. A *truly teensy* mini white noise machine to make sleeping at home or in a different environment (like a too-quiet hotel room or next to a snorer) a little easier. It has 15 different nonlooping sounds (including white noise, fan, rain, and more), the charge lasts for days at a time, and it can — quite literally — fit in your pocket. 

    I bought this little guy before a recent trip — and I am in love. I keep it on fan 1 (there are *three* different fan sound options), and it helped me sleep better in hotel rooms — and even a bit better next to a very loud snorer. I used it every night (for eight hours at a time) on a two-week trip, and I only had to charge it *twice*! And if you prefer, there are also several auto-shut off timer options too.

    Promising review: "I was certainly skeptical regarding this sound machine. I mean, how could this little round thing produce big noise? Well, I'm here to tell you it does! I was astounded that after I had charged it up, and turned it on the huge sound that came out of this! I enjoy the fan noise the best. I read the reviews beforehand and most were very positive....so I know I had to try it out as I don't go anywhere without my every night plug in (big) noise machine...but that one is bulky...and I needed a smaller one for travel. The other wonderful thing about this little baby is that it is rechargeable! You don't need an outlet to use it unless you are charging it up. The directions were a little....well, let's just say there wasn't much to the directions...but if you have any common sense, it won't take you to long to figure out how it works. Just buy it! Especially for travel!" —T. Bellati

    Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in nine colors, plus two packs and packs that come with a travel case).

    8. A self-cleaning toilet system (adorably called Flush 'n' Sparkle) with a replaceable bleach cartridge — each one lasts up to three months — to keep your porcelain throne shining bright and smelling clean with every flush. And the best part = the whole thing installs in as little as *one minute*.

    Promising review: "Life changing! OK, the headline may be a little overly dramatic but solving little aggravations can often have a huge impact on daily life. I don't know what has happened to our water supply, but in recent years we have been experiencing more and more algae in both our faucet aerators and in the toilets. It is so bad that the toilets have to be cleaned every 3-4 days or otherwise get a really gross dose of that nasty black stuff. Oddly, each of our 3 toilets have a different problem, either dripping down the sides of the bowl, black spots all over, or a nasty ring around the water in the bottom. This device solves all those problems and then some! First, it is the perfect design for this. The bleach is "injected" down the sides of the bowl where the problem originates. It goes slowly as the tank refills and gives it a good shot. It is very easy to install and the design prevents bleach from being wasted dissolving in the tank and damaging anything. Frankly this should be a standard part of toilets as it is so effective. I have waited a month to be sure that it worked, and it has done so with absolute flying colors! The toilets are *perfectly clean* with absolutely *no algae* and as the name suggests - "sparkling" I wholeheartedly recommend this product - it is worth every penny. Having this nasty continual problem solved so well is one of those things that truly make daily life better!" —Fred Raimer

    Get the kit from Amazon for $10 (two-packs of refills are available for $10.98).

    9. Mad Rabbit Tattoo Balm & Aftercare Cream, a nourishing formula designed to make sure your gorgeous ink continues to look vibrant long after you leave the studio. It enhances the depth and clarity while protecting your delicate skin, too!

    BTW, it's made from just seven vegan and cruelty-free ingredients. This balm is sensitive skin-safe and can make both colored and monochrome tattoos POP.

    Promising review: "Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a 5-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." —Janson Ward

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three scents).

    Mad Rabbit is a Black-owned biz founded by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. 

    10. An automatic makeup brush cleaner with a textured silicone bowl to really get those foundation- and eyeshadow-caked brushes cleaner than ever — without a lot of elbow grease on your part. Just squirt in some makeup brush shampoo (I recommend the EcoTools one!) and water, plug 'er in, press the button, and away the bowl spins, scrubbing your brushes clean while you simply hold them in place!

    Promising review: "I now have exceptionally clean makeup brushes! It is small enough to leave on my vanity, and I can easily keep my brushes clean. This is one of those products that will make you wonder how you did without it!" —LJLW

    Promising review: "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." —TaleSpinner

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

    11. A box of individually wrapped deodorant wipes you can keep in your bag when you want to feel less icky after spending ::checks watch::...two minutes outside. These aluminum-free bbs can wipe away sweat, dirt, and odor-causing bacteria and leave behind a lovely light scent.

    Promising review: "Love the variety of scents, easy to use and no aluminum. I bought the multipack with mint, cucumber and rose scents. The scents are not overpowering, some I liked better then others, but all are pleasant. Most importantly they are refreshing. I live where it is over 100 degrees for at least four months of the summer; these are very helpful to quickly freshen up at home or when you are out. You get 50 individually wrapped wipes, I think its a good deal." —Melissa W

    Get 50 wipes from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three scents).

    12. OXO chef's style squeeze bottle you can fill with the olive oil you buy in bulk (that is just impossible to pour), the homemade sauces and dressings you love to drizzle on anything, or truly whatever else you love to pour. This bb is easy to cap and uncap with one hand, pours evenly and neatly (no drips!), and even has handy measurement markings on the side.

    Amazon

    Reviewers say it's perfectly leakproof, and great for non-kitchen uses too! BTW. it's made of BPA-free plastic and is dishwasher safe.

    Promising review: "I’ve used this bottle daily for almost exactly a year now. I use it for dispensing oil during cooking. It is very easy and fast to use. I just flip the lid off with my thumb and squeeze, which makes me feel like a graceful, quick and efficient chef. Oil doesn’t drip down onto the bottle at all, so my hands never get oil on them and I have no problems with drips either. I simply store the bottle directly on my shelf for quick access, because I have not seen even the slightest hint of an oil ring on my shelf, even after a year of daily use. This bottle is easy to use, clean to use, and comes apart for easy cleaning. And it still looks and feels new, so it is definitely holding up very well with a lot of use. I definitely recommend this little squeeze bottle." —Jkats

    Promising review: "We buy real maple syrup by the gallon & even when decanting into a smaller syrup container or jar, my kiddos always pour way more than they need, wasting $$$$. These squeeze bottles are perfect! I filled the big one with syrup: 5, 8 & 10 year olds can serve themselves without spills, leaks, or dribbles down the side. I filled the smaller one with vegetable oil for cooking - much better to coat the bottom of a skillet than pouring from the quart container the oil comes in. For the syrup, I wash the top every time I refill — the spout tends to get a little bit of crystallization on it, but it doesn't stop the top from closing. So glad I finally bit the bullet and bought these!" —KateW

    Get the 16-ounce bottle from Amazon for $10.94 (also available in a 12-ounce size and as a set of two or a set of three with a 6-ounce size).

    13. A pack of transparent sticky notes so you can leave all of the margin notes and study guides your heart and brain desire without covering up any text — great for marking up your own books without damaging them *and* for library books that need to be returned or textbooks you might want to sell at the end of the semester. They're also great for to-do lists you might want to stick on your laptop too!

    Promising review: "These are amazing! We use them for so many things! For positive messages and romantic nights, they are amazing for leaving around the house! You can also stick them to paper and restick the same ones over and over again! They seem to never lose their adhesion! Everyone I’ve shown these to falls in love with them!" —Faith

    Get a 10-pack of 50-sheet pads from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven sizes).

    14. A sleek mini travel umbrella that not only is perfectly compact for everyday use *and* travel, but also comes with a handy carrying case, so you can pop it right in your bag when the showers are (finally!) over without getting the rest of your stuff wet.

    Promising review: "Bought this cheap, lightweight umbrella for an autumn trip to Edinburgh. It worked perfectly!! It was really windy there, and it did pop inside-out a few times, but I just pushed it back into place. The pod holder is really great for folding it up when wet and keeping your bag safe from it!" —Lynn Thompson

    Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (available in 11 colors). 

    15. The Crop Top Band, a why-didn't-I-think-of-that elastic band so you can shorten any sweater, tee, or blouse to the perfect length — without having to get it permanently tailored.

    Get it from The Crop Top Band for $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL).

    The Crop Top Band is a woman-owned small biz btw!

    Promising review: "I have been using bleach to clean my machine for some time, but decided to give this a try a few months ago. My very first clean with Affresh left me surprised and delighted for not only did it clean my machine, it eliminated the nasty smell that always transferred to my clothes thanks to a build up of mold I didn't even know about. Every month now, I toss a tablet into the drum and let it work its magic. Now, my machine is cleaner than ever, and my clothes always smell wonderfully fresh. I highly recommend this to everyone." —Kelli Crawford

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.16.

    Promising review: "MUST-BUY. Absolutely amazing. I’ve only used the teeth-whitening overnight stick three times, and people are already starting to notice a difference in my teeth. I also have very sensitive teeth and tooth pain, but this hasn’t seemed to affect my pain at all. I highly recommend this tooth-whitening product!" —Shey Wilkey

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    Promising review: "Perfect quality. Very firm, helps correct even the minutest slip on your lipstick or eyeliner. Finally something to correct, with great precision, the small mistakes on my L'Oreal Infallible lipstick, to get the perfect lip lines!!! You will use lots of them, so this is not a large quantity. Indispensable tool for makeup! Also, great for nail polish correction!" —Deborah B.

    Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I’m always looking for more tongs when cooking, especially when my husband is grilling at the same time I’m making sides! This is a must-have for us and it doesn’t clutter the kitchen drawers with a bunch of bulky tongs!!" —Sheri Robinson

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a two-pack).

    Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two styles). 

    21. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set with everything you need to outfit your kitchen and get cooking! Not only are they cheery to look at, but it'll be a bit easier to tell which knife is which when stored in your drawer (so you don't pull out the serrated when you're looking for the chef's knife) and you can prevent cross-contamination when you're slicing a chicken breast and cutting veggies at the same time. 

    It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. And btw, the knives don't come with this a holder, but you can get a magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them like this reviewer did! 

    Promising review: "This is my best buy of the month, and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful, because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny." —GWP

    22. Beard Bib if looking down onto a vanity and sink full of tiny hairs fills you with rage, whether they are your own or your partner's or roommates. With this genius invention there's no need — the shaver can just suction the bib to the bathroom mirror and get to trimming. Every hair will fall neatly into the little apron, which you can then funnel right into the trash.

    Promising review: "Finally bought this for my husband and I’m not sure why I waited so long. He would always shave over a towel, ball the towel up to 'clean it up when he got home from work,' forget to tell me, and then I’d see it on the bathroom floor or counter, pick it up to throw it in the washer (unaware of what surprise was inside), and beard hair would go EVERYWHERE. My husband can fully shave and then he basically has a full beard again three days later, so this happened more times than I’d like to admit. PEOPLE, DO YOURSELVES A FAVOR AND BUY THIS NOW!" —Ashley Flaga

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).

    23. A rounded lettuce chopper with nylon serrated blades that'll easily cut and blend lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, and all your other favorite toppings *right in the bowl*. Your kitchen is now a fancy salad chain; you're welcome.

    To clean it, just toss in the top rack of your dishwasher.

    Promising review: "I love salads, but I do not care for the mess that can result from consuming large leafy salads, so chopped salads are an excellent choice. This little tool does a fantastic job. Simply mix the salad ingredients in a sturdy bowl, then press down repeatedly with the chopper until you've cut it to your desired consistency. It cuts through lettuces, olives, beans, grape tomatoes, pretty much anything I have in the salad. I would suggest adding the dressing prior to chopping, which seems to facilitate a smoother, easier chopping experience. Overall this was a great purchase, and is one of the rare kitchen gadgets I use on a regular basis." —J. Brigden

    25. A hairbrush cleaning tool, because if you've never cleaned yours....well now is probably the time. This baby has three ways in one to remove every single hair that's clogging up your brush and preventing it from doing as good a job — longer bristles to remove stuck-in hair, a brush to remove dust and fluff, and a pointed tip for raking out loosened hair easily to throw away.

    Promising review: "When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, but it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    26. A pack of labeled chore sticks with a mix of pre-labelled tasks (clean your room, wipe down the baseboards, etc.), a few blank sticks you can fill in yourself, AND a few fun surprise tasks (like "dance to one song!") to keep things exciting! Your kids might even...ask to pick out a stick?

    The set comes with 42 printed sticks and 8 blank ones you can fill out.

    Promising review: "Forget chore charts, these chore sticks are amazing! Our kids, (12, 10 and 8 ) are voluntarily doing chores so they can choose a stick and begging for extra chore sticks!!! ! Love that there are blank sticks to add in our own chores to fit our family. Perfect!! You won’t be disappointed! Fun genius way to get kids excited to do chores!!!!" —LuluFinn

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    27. A pack of AirPod cleaners, because how often do you put your headphones riiiight in your ear without even looking at them 👀?  These remove any dirt, earwax, or other gunk that's accumulated on your AirPods — and can even improve the sound and how quickly your phone pairs with them!

    Did YOU know that wax can block the pairing sensors?? Neither did I! And btw, these work great on any hard-to-clean small spaces. 

    Promising review: "Great stuff that absolutely works! I had been using plugin headphones because my old iPhone 6S was getting old and I was having difficulty hearing from the speakers. I heard about this from a friend and it’s like I have a new phone! Worked immediately. Sound and clarity like before. I can’t believe how easy it was to use and the great difference it makes. Thanks!" —Bridget S

    Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It’s not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying 'this is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it’s supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." —Elizabeth L.

    Promising review: "I am SO happy I bought this for my bathroom! It looks so clean, it is easy to install, and it is easy to clean when toothpaste gets on it! The design is simple, yet genius! My 5-year-old uses it with ease and she doesn't make a mess with the toothpaste tube anymore! I am extremely satisfied and I have had it for three months now. TikTok made me buy it LOL!" —Stephanie Mendoza
