We asked the BuzzFeed Community for the best products they'd ever bought for $10 or less. Here are the results!
1. A two-pack of ~Mighty Handles~ because you have better things to do than make multiple trips between your kitchen and the trunk of your car after grocery shopping.
2. A flexible garlic roller that peels multiple cloves of garlic in like, thirty seconds or less.
"A garlic roller!! A friend gave this to me as a wedding present. I kind of laughed at it at first, but I use this thing EVERY FREAKIN DAY. It is so easy to use, to wash, and though it lasts a really long time, I have no qualms about shelling out a few bucks to replace it when it’s worn out. It’s been five years since the wedding and we’re only on our third roller!" —quinceyf
Get one on Amazon for $5.15.
3. An alcohol-free toner made with witch hazel, rose petal water, and vitamin E can help tame your skin's redness and breakouts.
"I use it every day and it has helped my skin so much! I have combination and sensitive skin and it's so nice to have a more natural product that doesn't irritate my skin or make my break out. There are other formulas in the line too like cucumber, aloe vera, and original. I highly recommended it!"
We've reviewed it and loved it, too!
Get it on Amazon for $8.83.
4. A pack of hydrocolloid pimple patches you can apply at night to help cut the time you have to deal with acne in half, because they suck out all the gunk overnight.
5. A press-on manicure pack that can actually last for an entire week without damaging your nails even a little bit.
"The imPRESS Manicure Press-On nails have been the best purchase! I bite my nails and never can keep them looking good for long even when I pay for gel manicures. These nails last about a week so they are great if you have a vacation, one-day event or just wanna have a cute set of nails. They are SOOO easy to use and apply and don't damage nails because there is no nail glue, just a gel adhesive. I get compliments from people so I know they look legit." —biancanoelle
Get a maroon and glitter pack on Amazon for $8.36 or a bright red with white glitter accents from Walmart for $5.97.
6. A bottle of skin-repairing lotion to smooth even the driest skin, or even help relieve your eczema.

"The best thing I’ve ever bought was Eucerin. It helps with all my skin problems. All other lotions have never worked for me before. Finding Eucerin was a life saver for me. I highly recommend this for people with awful eczema or skin issues."
Get it on Amazon for $9.47; or opt for the Eczema Relief formula for $9.87.
7. A single balm you can use to replace your lip balm, moisturizer, cuticle oil, foot creams, hand lotions, and more. It even works for flyaways in your hair, or as a beard balm.

"That stuff works. Hands, feet, beard. It’s incredible how fast it’s absorbed. I use it when fishing in Canada. By using it every night I save myself a lot of damage. Never leave home without it."
Get it on Amazon for $17 (yes it's over-priced at the moment) or in their stores for $4.
8. An extendable grabber tool you can use to coax things like your keys out from behind your couch and other hard-to-get places.

9. A classic dry shampoo with over 5,000 positive Amazon reviews because no one wants to wash their hair THAT often and it just plain works.

10. A brown sugar bear, so you never discover that your bag of brown sugar somehow transformed into an impenetrable rock.

"Buy yourself a brown sugar bear. I live in a dry climate and my brown sugar is always soft."
One of these bears can also rescue a bag of hardened sugar, if you need! Just wet it a little, dry it a little, then place it in a sealed bag with the brown sugar overnight.
Get one on Amazon for $6.31.
11. A compact portable charger so you can always have that peace of mind that comes with a fully-charged phone, even at midnight on a Friday.

"A portable iPhone charger from Amazon! I travel a lot, so this is the best thing I've ever bought! And it was $9.99! #steal" —meredithp490fbd99e
Unfortunately the exact charger meredithp490fbd99e recommended isn't in stock anymore, but you can get a different one on Amazon for $6.99.
12. A koozie that fits around a pint of ice cream so you can take your time eating your rocky road while your hands stay nice and warm.

"No more wrapping in a paper towel to avoid cold hands."
And it might slow down that dreaded ice cream melt. Get these from GoodeyStudio on Etsy for $10 each — Get your own, B.Y.O.S., and Not Done Yet (the breakup one's sold out, unfortunately).
13. A keyboard cover to protect your laptop from all sorts of gross invasive things, from dog hair to dripped tea to chip crumbs.

"Honestly, a keyboard cover. I work from home and I have two long haired dogs. Their fur gets everywhere and the way most laptops keyboards are made, it is a nightmare to try to remove the keys to clean out the fine hair and snack crumbs. Now I don't have to worry about it. It felt a little weird to me at first, but it's so thin that it doesn't make it difficult to type and it looks great. Bonus: now my keys all look gold." —Barbara Hernandez, Facebook
Get one made for Macbook Pros and Airs, 13- or 15-inch, on Amazon for $6.90+ (29 colors available). Or get a clear one made for the Microsoft Surface laptop and Surface book on Amazon for $7.99.
14. A bar of African black soap that helped at least one person with the bumps on the back of their arms.

"Walmart-brand African black soap! I decided to try it on a whim, because even if it was awful, it was a box of two for $3. I'm happy to report that this soap has exceeded my expectations! I love the color and the smell, but best of all, it has gotten rid of the bumps on my upper arms! This soap is a lifesaver, and I got my boyfriend hooked on it too!"
Get a similar soap from Walmart for $2.57, or a different but similar soap on Amazon for $5.25.
15. A detangling hair brush with special flexible bristles for smoothing your post-shower hair while minimizing any breakage or damage.

"My Wet Brush is the best thing I've ever bought. This thing is ridiculously useful!"
"I was going to say the same thing! The wet brush is in the top 3 best things that have ever happened to my hair."
Other reviewers like it because it really does minimize breakage.
Get one on Amazon for $7.77+ (five colors available).
16. An easy-connect bluetooth speaker that can turn any small gathering into a party by just adding music.

17. A clip-on strainer — it makes it super easy to drain your cooked pasta when it reaches that perfect al dente.

18. A small dry erase board perfect for anyone who likes to jot down temporary to-dos and notes.

19. A set of stainless steel straws so you can keep a few at home and a few in your car — then turn down any plastic straw that comes your way.

"Four stainless steal straws!!!" —amandat488bd8819
Get this set of eight straws — cleaning brushes included — on Amazon for $7.99 (these are 10.5" tall, big enough for an oversized tumbler; you can also opt for regular 9" ones for $8.99).
20. A Scotch tape handband that takes regular tape and makes it even more convenient — you'll never have to search for it under a pile of wrapping paper.

"It was just a few dollars and is easily one of the best purchases I have ever made. You wear it like a hair tie on your wrist and it makes wrapping gifts, crafting, doing homework, whatever you need it for, sooooo much easier! I love that thing!!"
Get one on Amazon for $6.49.
21. Cell phone rings you can stick on your case to ease your worries about dropping your favorite device.

"Stick on cell phone rings. I have a Galaxy S8 and the rings make it easier to hold with one hand and I have reduced my fear of dropping it because my finger is always looped through the ring on the back. I one for each of my different cases. And bonus, they're shaped like Mickey Mouse! Found them on Amazon for less than $5 each."
Get this set of two Mickey-shaped cell phone rings on Amazon for $9.99 (also available in gold and silver).
22. A weather app with a sarcastic personality to amuse you even when it's kind of terrible outside.
