    If You’re Pinching Pennies Right Now, These 37 Cheap Products Will Help You Keep More Change In Your Piggy Bank

    Put the hammer down and step away from the piggy.

    1. A fabric defuzzer so you can remove lint, pilling, and fuzz instead of donating your old sweaters and spending money on new ones. It has three settings so you can choose how close of a shave you want, as well as a handy lint catcher.

    Before photo of reviewer's dark gray sweater, which is covered in white lint and pilling

    The battery-operated style requires 2 AA batteries (not included).

    Promising review: "I can’t believe I’ve spent this much of my life without a defuzzer! To think of all the clothes I’ve thrown out cause the fuzz was so unsightly. I was seriously considering buying new couch covers (which are expensive on my couch) because I was so sick of feeling the pilling and roughness when I sat down. It made them so unattractive. But this little gem of an invention just saved me a buttload of money because now my couches are smooth and like new again!! I’m so impressed that such an inexpensive tool could work so well." —JennyO28

    Get it from Amazon for $17.29+ (available in six colors and two styles).

    2. A pet hair remover if you're burning through disposable lint rollers (and money!) trying to keep up with all the fur in your house. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

    Promising review: "I'm a daily vacuumer, floors and furniture. With two hairy dogs and a cat, it's inevitable. And no one wants to sit on a couch full of pet hair! I was tired of spending the money on the sticky rollers, they work great on clothing but such a waste for everyday furniture use. I decided to go with this tool after reading all the great reviews and, wow, it saves me so much time and hair (pulling out my hair constantly cleaning off the pet hair!). I can't believe how easily it works and how easily it is to clean. I'm not sure what I would do without it now. If you have shedding pets, you need this NOW!" —Pamela F.

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in three colors).

    3. Flip It! bottle emptying kit because you paid good money for that fancy body lotion and, gosh darn it, you'll get every ounce of it out of the bottle. 

    reviewer's lotion bottles flipped upside down with gray stand caps
    infographic explaining how to use the product: just open and squeeze

    It comes with two stands/caps and six adapters to fit any size bottle. Just make sure it's a bottle that can actually be squeezed, since it won't work with totally solid bottles.

    Promising review: "We have often wasted moisturizer that we simply can't get out of the bottle. If the top has a funny (nonflat) shape, you can't turn the bottle over to let the moisturizer drain toward the cap. With this simple idea, you can screw it on, turn the container over and use every drop. It's a simple but efficient method for getting the most out of your moisturizer, shampoo, and conditioner. In the end, it's a money saver!" —Having Fun

    Get a pack of two stands and six adapters from Amazon for $15.99.

    4. And a pack of miniature spatulas (you might recognize them from Shark Tank!) to reach the expensive foundation and gourmet mustards that cling to the side of the jar, escaping the reach of your fingers and knives.

    A reviewer's cut-open foundation bottle, tiny spatula with a long handle, and the small jar full of foundation they were able to save

    Spatty is a woman-owned small business founded by Cheryl Rigdon. 

    The set comes with one spatula with a 6-inch handle and another with a 12-inch handle.

    Promising review: "So worth it! I'm so happy with it. You will definitely save money using this. I think about how much I could have saved if this was invented 30 years ago. I mostly use it for small makeup jars. I tested out the longer one on an 18-ounce lotion and it worked fine. Some reviews complain about not being able to get every curve and corner of their container...oh please.! You get so much more than you would without it." —Liz

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99.

    5. Washable microfiber mop pads for folks with a Swiffer WetJet (or anything similar) and a desire to spend less money on single-use mop pads. Eco-friendly swaps for the win!

    Turbo Mops is a small business!

    Promising review: "If you’re considering these, get them now! Coming from a mom with three young boys, I’m cleaning the floors constantly from outside dust, dirt, and all things little boys and their sticky/clumsy hands create on our tile, not to mention our bathroom floors. These pads are super absorbent and easy to clean by throwing them in the washing machine. Saves me time and money on the expensive disposable pads I’ve been buying constantly." —Jenny

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.49 (available in multi-packs).

    6. A cold brew maker that'll save you from spending $5+ every morning on your way to work. If cold coffee is your lifeblood — no matter the season — you need this.

    before photo of the cold brew maker with water in it and coffee in the filter before it's been shaken
    the cold brew maker after it's been shaken for 10 seconds and the water is now dark brown

    It brews a quart (4 cups), so you should have enough java to get you through the day (and maybe some left over to share with your favorite coworker).

    Promising review: "If you LOVE iced coffee (I drink it year round regardless of the weather) then you NEED this cold brewer. I work for Starbucks and I love our cold brew. I was skeptical to make it at home but I love it more than theirs. It’s especially nice since Starbucks only brews one kind of beans for cold brew, but at home you can brew your favorite kind. Absolutely love this and it’s worth more than it costs. A must-buy for yourself or a wonderful gift for the coffee lover in your life!" —j.blaine

    Get it from Amazon for $20.19+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

    7. A set of internet-famous wireless Bluetooth earbuds so you don't have to break the bank upgrading the whole family's music-listening experience. More than 236,000 5-star reviews rave about the sound quality, sweat-proof design, and battery life (listen for over 10 hours on a single charge).

    a reviewer with the black earbud in their ear

    Promising review: "I bought these for the price and as a trial run on whether or not I could keep up with small wireless earbuds. I’ve had these for 6+ months now and they are pretty awesome for $25. Comes with a lot of different earbud sizes, cancels noise well, the sounds are actually decent/better than I expected and I’ve accidentally thrown these into the washer and dryer and they still work the same. I was gifted AirPods and honestly find myself reaching for the Tozo buds more often because they’re so much more comfortable in my ears. Definitely will buy another pair if these die on me." —Liubhard

    Get them from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors and in two editions).

    8. A nail file board if your pup hates getting their nails trimmed, so you're spending an arm and a leg at the groomers *or* you have to pay the vet to sedate them. This is like an emery board for your dog!

    ScratchPad for Dogs / Etsy, ScratchPad for Dogs / Etsy

    ScratchPad for Dogs is a small biz based in Atlanta.

    Promising review: "Love this scratch pad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the Scratch Pad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" —Kira Armajani

    Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $46.95+ (available in four styles and three grit levels).

    9. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara under $5 because reviewers say it beats the high-end formulas. (I'm sorry, but $30 for a mascara is MADNESS!) It's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day. Consider your expectations exceeded!

    Promising review: "I have a confession. In my adult life, I have always paid at least $25–$35 for a tube of mascara. I thought the more I paid, the better the results. Boy was I wrong. My niece came to visit and showed me this. I have to say that I was skeptical. However, I caved and bought a tube of this mascara, and I was glad I made that decision. This mascara is affordable, clean, and buildable (depending on how much lash volume you want — I use two layers). This mascara is easily taken off with a cotton ball and eye makeup remover. Not only have I saved money on mascara, but I get the same results I got from the higher-priced mascaras. I will be a lifelong customer!!" —Jenna Wylie

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    10. root touch-up spray to hold you over until your next salon trip and even extend the time between visits. There's nothing wrong with rocking a bit of root, but this is a great option if you'd prefer to hide yours.

    Reviewer photo showing hair before using root cover-up spray

    Promising review: "My sister-in-law introduced me to this product a few years ago. It’s awesome when wanting to hide the annoying gray hairs that pop up only weeks after getting your hair done. It’s easy to use and washes out easily too. Saves me money and allows me to avoid the salon a little bit longer. Love, love, love it. Would recommend it to anyone." —Kirk Arizona

    Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in nine colors and in packs of two).

    11. An itty bitty knife sharpener for anyone who's about ready to toss their current set and shell out some big bucks. Wait! There's a good chance your knives just need to be sharpened!

    Hand using the sharpener
    Amazon

    Promising review: "Saved us a load of money. I saw this product from a BuzzFeed article. I was skeptical about whether this product would work at first, but for the price, it seemed like a bargain. Our kitchen knives were dull and throwing them away would have cost more than buying the sharpener. Needless to say, it worked out very well and our knives are well-sharpened - even the knives we thought couldn't be sharpened! Very happy with this product. I bought my mom one too." —mibkim

    My colleague loves this lil' guy, saying it "totally ~transformed~ my hodgepodge of a knife collection, and probably saved my clumsy self from lots of close calls with dull knives." Read her full KitchenIQ knife sharpener review.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.73+ (available in four colors and in multi-packs).

    12. An egg bite maker that'll save you from spending time and money in a Starbucks drive-thru. Now you can customize the flavors and you'll have enough breakfasts to grab and go throughout the week.

    The silicone molds are removable so this becomes a regular grill!

    Check out a TikTok of the egg bite maker in action. 

    Promising review: "I work pretty much work 13 days straight and this egg bite maker is perfect for meal prepping so I can stay on the go. It also saves me money by not going through any drive-thru to get a quick breakfast." —Catherine Gomez

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

    13. A set of surprisingly glam velvet slipcovers so you can leave that $$$ sofa in your cart. Revamp your sad, stained armchair or couch with a slipcover, and — BAM! — new (kinda) couch!

    Promising review: "What an improvement for a piece of furniture that was almost on the 'chopping block' but is now a keeper for a few more years. Gosh, I love saving money while making legit improvements. Yay!!!" —L2G+G

    Get it from Amazon for $37.49+ (available in 5 sizes and 13 colors).

    14. A pack of refillable K-Cups if you're tired of spending money (and making more trash!) on K-Cups you use once and toss. This lil' purple guy is reusable, so you can buy a cheaper bulk bag of your fave coffee grounds, brew your mug, and use it again tomorrow (or later today if you can't get through the day without at least three cups).

    The same purple K-cup closed and inserted into a Keurig

    These BPA-free plastic cups are designed to work in any Keurig brewer, old or new!

    Promising review: "Tired of paying for all those plastic Keurig cups. So I bought these reusable K-Cups to go in my Keurig. They are great. I can use them with whatever coffee I like instead of having to stick to their choices and can even use them to make tea. I am so happy I am not throwing all that wasteful plastic that the cups come in and I am saving money while helping the planet." —Linda Em

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.79 (also available in larger multipacks). 

    15. A window insulator kit to keep you warm *and* save you money on your heating bills. The clear film shrinks to create an airtight lining to prevent drafts and heat loss.

    the same window after a hair dryer was used to shrink the wrap to the window

    Promising review: "I buy this every winter and it makes a BIG difference! We have super-thin windows and this works like a charm to stop 80% of the cold drafts, and I find I can sit right next to the window without a problem after installing them. It's easy to install and looks invisible after you apply heat with a hair dryer. No one will be able to tell there's a film and it'll look completely transparent after you apply heat. It was so satisfying to see the wrinkles disappear! It looks great, works great, and will save your energy! Win-win-win!" —Raymond

    Get a 10-window kit from Amazon for $23.75.

    16. And a self-adhesive seal strip for soundproofing windows and doors in a room while adding much-needed insulation from drafts.

    reviewer holding the white strip to show its thickness and adhesive backing
    the strip attached to a door and it blends in seamlessly

    You'll get two seals (totaling 16 feet) that are 9 millimeters thick.

    Promising review: "We used this on our back door as it just doesn't fit the frame anymore and there was a huge draft on all sides. It worked very well!! Even was not a problem to layer it up in certain areas that had bigger gaps than others. Extremely easy to use and well worth the money for what we're gonna save on gas to heat our home." —Hope Schroeder

    Get it from Amazon for $6.57+ (available in four colors).

    17. Or a three-layer door stopper that'll solve the issue of a wide gap between the bottom of the door and the floor. Installation is easy: Simply cut the strip to size and attach it to your door using the built-in adhesive backing.

    Promising review: "I’m renting an apartment and my front door doesn’t brush up against the floor. There was about an inch gap, which was annoying because it meant light, noise, and bugs could get in. Ever since I’ve installed this, I’ve had almost no bugs, no light, and so much less sound! It’s great. The sound blocking is especially amazing because my bedroom is near the front door and I hated hearing my neighbors conversations clear as day in the stairwell. It’s not totally noise cancelling but it’s so much better." —airazedy

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).

    18. An Orly Bonder base coat so you can look down at your mani after a week and marvel at how intact and fresh your polish looks. Weekly trips to the nail salon? Not here!

    bottle of the product
    reviewer's matte burgundy nails

    BuzzFeed editor Katy Herman swears by this stuff:

    "I personally am an Orly devotee as well — I love pretty much all their products that I've tried, and their polish bottles have an excellent grippy handle. After seeing the amazing reviews for the base coat, I tried it too, and I'm blown away. The product calls itself "rubberized," which is a great way to describe the not unpleasantly sticky way it leaves your nails ready to better stick to polish. The major bonus is that with this, my clumsy self is able to do a better job of painting my nails to begin with. Because of said rubbery stickiness, my polish brush doesn't slip all over the place or over the edges of my super-short nails. I'm able to do a way cleaner, more precise job, which then lasts longer too. With this and the brand's top coat, I'm now able to take it for granted that my nails will stay looking pretty good for close to a week. That's way longer than usual for me, so TL;DR: This is an all-around win-win and a *must* buy."

    Get it from Amazon for $9.14.

    19. A meal planner if you frequently find yourself staring at your fridge at 6:30 p.m. on a Wednesday, wishing that food would magically appear. Instead of opting for the easier (but more expensive!) option of ordering in, plan your meals for the week so you're less tempted to open a food delivery app.

    Friends Kaylyn Minix and Michelle Askin founded Bloom — a small business creating the most adorable and productivity-boosting planners and desk accessories — after meeting at the University of Delaware.

    Promising review: "I got this because I wanted to have some structure in my week and not have to think about what to cook for dinner every night. It has helped tremendously and I recommend it to anyone who struggles coming up with meals on the day of. At the end of each week, I pick out everything I’m going to cook for the next week's meals, write them down, and put anything I don’t already have on the shopping list. Now instead of not making something or having to make an extra trip to get ingredients, I just make one trip a week to the store and have everything I need. This definitely helped with the stress of cooking." —Chante

    Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in five colors).

    20. A leather-cleaning brush because the dry cleaning bills you rack up cleaning your Uggs is astronomical. Clean heavy dirt, scuff marks, water spots, and invisible dust at home while saving yourself gas money too!

    Promising review: "BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought for sure they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered 'ruined' for several years and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. I was so impressed! It's absolutely worth getting and trying for yourself! Scuff marks take a bit more time to improve but they do look better after brushing them." —Gaby Scott

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    21. A pack of reusable beeswax wraps to replace the not-so-eco-friendly and not-so-economical single-use plastic wrap. These organic cotton wraps are infused with beeswax, jojoba oil, and tree resin, and will mold around foods and containers with the heat from your hands. Wash them when they get dirty; they'll last you a year before you can toss them in the compost bin.

    Promising review: "LOVE THESE! These wraps are amazing. So happy I found a non-toxic plastic-free alternative to plastic wrap. They easily mold and wrap around food and you can easily wash and rinse them. Love these so much I bought them for my mom and friends too. Highly recommend." —A.A.

    Get a set of three (one small, one medium, and one large wrap) from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven prints).

    22. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel for dissolving hard dead skin in literal minutes and getting you as smooth as you are post $50 salon pedi.

    Promising review: "I had extremely bad calluses with deep cuts in my feet and one application took off all my calluses. Do as the direction says and see the magic for yourself. Save tons of money at the spa. Easy convenient and time-saving. It took me five minutes for the whole procedure, and my feet are beautiful now. My husband could not believe the five-minute miracle." —Monisha

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    23. A wing dust that'll make you swear off restaurant wings...maybe forever. Reviewers also rave that it's just as delicious on wings as it is sprinkled on Goldfish (ummm genius!) baked chickpeas, popcorn, fries, veggies, salads, pasta, baked potatoes, and more.

    Seven Pepper Face Lift Wing Dust
    reviewer photo of chicken wings on the grill

    Promising review: "I never write reviews, but this is worth it. Also, I'm writing this after going through a bag I purchased almost a year ago, it took that long to go through. This stuff is HOT, but not deadly. It also tastes amazing, very deep and well rounded flavor. Other wing dust flavors are good, this is GREAT. I've used it a bunch of different ways, but my favorite is actually mixing it with other rubs/ seasonings. At home or from a restaurant, these are the wings I crave. I've gone back to my wing places and gotten take out a few times this year, nothing compares. These are better. Hands down. Bottom line: Your life will be better after buying this." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.955+ (available in 11 flavors).

    24. A tin of Cirepil blue wax beads so you can save yourself a waxing bill (not to mention the awkward phone call when you schedule your appointment). No tip required at Salon Chez Toi.

    Promising reviews: "I'm saving at least $120 every month :) Thank god I have it." —Sanem Demirkaya

    "Holy crap. Please listen to this review. This is the best and easiest-to-use wax I have ever tried. It dries super quickly, and when it dries it creates a vacuum seal around the hair. It does not stick to skin in the slightest and cuts the pain down by 75%. I would pay $150 for this stuff because it is so good." —Amanda

    Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

    25. Or a more expensive hair removal device if your credit card bill includes costly semi-monthly laser hair removal treatments. This is designed to permanently reduce hair growth at home.

    the same reviewer after 10 weeks showing their armpit hair is much thinner

    It's safe to use on your bikini line, upper lip, chin, face, armpits, back, chest, stomach, arms, and legs. Do not use it on your eyebrows or on tanned or tattooed skin.

    Promising reviews: "I give 7 out of 5 stars. After two months of using it as directed I am impressed with the results. My face has post-menopausal coarse hair growth. In the past I have spent thousands of dollars to have the hair on my legs and bikini area professionally removed. Rather than risking the possible COVID-19 exposure due to office visits at a professional salon I chose to purchase this device to remove my facial hair. Even the medium and fine black facial hairs have disappeared." —Prague

    Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (remember to clip the $30 off coupon!).

    26. A "Bread Buddy" dispenser because nothing ruins your appetite like wasting money. This will potentially prevent spoilage if your little ones often forget to properly close the bag when they're done.

    Promising review: "I wish I had found this bread container years ago. It would have saved me so much money from throwing out bad bread loaves from my kids never putting twist tie back on the loaf. This container keeps your bread so nice and fresh and soft I absolutely love it no more hunting for the missing twisty ties anymore. I'm probably gonna buy another one for the other bread loaves we use to well worth the money." —Daniel Watson

    Get it from Amazon for $15.97 (available in five styles).

    27. A sheepskin rug brush to revive your clumpy, matted, and not-so-soft fleece jackets, faux fur rugs, and more. Not buying new clothes and rescuing the ones you already own? You're basically making money.

    Promising review: "Long story short, I had a messy, drunken incident that ended up with my family heirloom bearskin rug in the washing machine. The fur was all matted, and I didn’t know what to do. I called taxidermy places that all told me that there was nothing they could do. So I decided to purchase this brush as a last resort, to see if I could possibly revive the hair with this brush. Well lo and behold, it did the trick and the rug hair looks as good as now." —April

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    28. A roll of reusable bamboo towels for anyone who's blowing through rolls of paper towels and grimacing every time they add a new pack to the cart. A single roll of these bamboo sheets replaces 60 (!) rolls of conventional paper towels so IDK if there's ever been more of a no-brainer decision. Get the bamboo towels!

    Promising review: "These are amazing!! Have been looking for a more sustainable option than paper towels. With a 1-year-old, using dish cloths for every mess would mean waaay too much laundry. These are right in between. Use them like a paper towel for wiping up, but you can then wash them in the sink and hang to dry each night when I’m doing dishes, and they are good to go the next day for reuse. They are super soft (we use them to wipe baby clean after a messy meal) but also sturdy! We don’t use paper towels at all anymore, and I think one roll will last us months at this rate!!! Super duper satisfied." —Maddisimo

    Get a roll (20 sheets) from Amazon for $9.49.

    29. And a set of four biodegradable Swedish dishcloths that are a cross between a sponge and a paper towel, but they won't crumble, pill, or tear like regular paper. And one cloth will replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels! They're dishwasher-safe so they'll see you through many, many messes. Once you're done, toss them in the compost bin.

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in 17 color variations and four pack sizes).

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three colors and in five styles).

    31. And a Souper Cube because you can prep a bulk batch of soup, stew, sauce, etc., and enjoy it as you need it instead of committing to chili for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you aren't throwing away leftovers (and your money)!

    Reviewer photo of their chicken noodle soup in the tray

    Each tray has four fill lines — 1/2 cup, 1 cup, 125 mL, and 250 mL — which is ideal for people who like to portion their food.

    You may remember Souper Cube from Shark Tank (Lori invested in the company!). This small business was started by four friends who loved soup but hated food waste.

    Promising review: "So happy that I found these. I’m the only one in my household who enjoys soup year-round. Have you ever tried to make homemade soup for one? I say it’s impossible! But no longer. I can brew up the stock pot with bone broth or my favorite home soup. Fill up my Souper Cubes, freeze, pop out, store my goodies in a freezer bag, and I’m ready for the next batch!" —Debbie R. Texas

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors and in a two-pack).

    32. A jewelry-cleaning brush to make your cloudy gems sparkle and shine without a trip to the jeweler.

    Twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush onto the gem to clean!

    Promising review: "This ring cleaner WORKS. Cleans in less than five minutes!!! THIS PRODUCT IS A STEAL! (compared to more expensive ring cleaners or taking into the store to get cleaned). Plus, the pen is compact, and you can take it on the go or hide it in your purse. There is no harsh chemical smell either. The process is SO easy, a kid could do it! It’s a twist-up pen — you twist it until the blue product dispenses onto the brush. Then you swipe the brush onto the diamond areas. I let it sit for about two minutes, then I rinsed my ring clean under water and dried it. TA-DA! My ring was AMAZINGLY CLEAN! You can see the main diamond and even the smaller diamonds sparkle! I didn’t even realize my diamond was cloudy until this product revealed how sparkly it could be! I highly recommend this product — it is cheap and gives AMAZING results, you won’t be disappointed!" —Kayla N.

    33. A Revlon hot air brush for a shiny, salon-worthy blowout in minutes and on the regular — without the $50 price tag (plus tip) per blowout.

    The brush has special vents that allow air to flow so hair dries faster. Plus, it's quicker than using a dryer and then a flat iron or curling iron, which equals less heat damage.

    Promising review: "OH MY LANTA. PURCHASE THIS NOW. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I found this one TikTok and saw the gal's review and had to buy it. I have thick hair and this dries my hair in less than 15 minutes. PLUS I don’t have to fuss with a straightener or a curling iron if I don’t want to!! It leaves my hair so soft and shiny and gives it SO MUCH VOLUME! I recommend this to ANYONE I talk to about it. Seriously my favorite styling tool. Seriously so in love." —Sydney

    Get it from Amazon for $39.49+. If you've tried barrel-shaped hot air brushes before without success and have tighter curls or coils, you may want to try the paddle brush version, which reviewers with 3a–4c hair swear by.

    34. A teeth-whitening pen that'll be a heck of a lot quicker (and taste a lot better) than those irritating and expensive whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used professional solution in a tray but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "I had to try this because I saw it on TikTok, and I spend way too much on Uncrustables for my picky kids! And my kids (ages 3 and 6) love the different shapes they can choose from." —Rachel

    36. Some produce saver sheets if you end every grocery trip with a cart full of crispy greens, juicy berries, and perfectly ripe bananas *and* intentions of eating them all — and then just days later your produce is wilted, unappetizing, and destined for the garbage. These sheets are designed to help your fruits, veggies, and greens last 2–4 times longer!

    Promising review: "My berries would only last a few days before I used this product. Now they last 2–3 weeks! The same for my leafy greens: They stay fresh for several weeks. A big money saver! These papers have a pleasant herb scent. I am very impressed with them. Have not figured out how to keep my bananas fresh." —SusanH

    37. A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks because the results will make you forget alllll about the $24 Laneige lip mask. Your lips won't know the difference but your wallet definitely will.

    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: "This is the most moisturizing lip treatment on 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
