    Just 35 Useful Products That Cost Less Than $10 So You Can Handle Life’s Problems While Staying On Budget

    You: 1. Life's little problems: 0.

    1. The Pink Stuff, a cleaning product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors).

    Promising review: "This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. Just buy it. I have never loved a cleaning product so much. Just moved into a new house and my oven and stove both set the fire alarm off every time. No product (organic or chemical) could get them fully clean except this stuff. I was ready to buy a whole new oven because I couldn’t stand it. I have now gone on a cleaning spree and have used this to remove the rust on my kitchen sink, marker from a dresser (darn kids), grout in the bathroom. The list goes on. I would probably still use a Magic Eraser on painted wood/walls because this is pretty abrasive but other people have done it and had success. The smell/scent is so minimal. Didn’t even notice it. It’s so easy to use. Some things will require more elbow grease than others but that should be expected with any cleaning product." —NYC Livin

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    2. An adorable little fish that happens to be a very easy and effective humidifier tank cleaner because you can't get the most out of your device if it's contaminated with slime and bacteria.

    The brand says the fish will continuously clean for about 30 days so it's recommended to change it every month! 

    Promising review: "Just drop this in your humidifier and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew- and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." —Kristine

    Get it from Amazon for $5.28.

    3. A laundry stain remover so you can say adios to messes on clothes, furniture, linens, and more with ease AND with plant-derived ingredients you'll feel good about.

    Puracy is a family-owned small biz based in Texas that sells plant-based cleaning products!

    Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long pre-soak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and two styles).

    4. moisture meter that makes it super simple to tell when your flora bbs (both indoors and outdoors) are in need of a drink! 

    Promising review: "Who knew that one needs an accurate way to measure soil moisture levels? I saw a gardening expert using one of these, and it clicked. Earlier this summer I asked a friend why so many plants die so easily, and she said the number one problem is over-watering. Well, no more. I've only had this for a month, but my plants are looking perky and happy. So far this appears to be accurate, and I now feel more confident investing in more houseplants. Very easy to use, and no special care required." —empower7

    Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in three colors).

    5. A set of toilet bombs — simply drop one into your porcelain throne, watch it fizz up, give the bowl a quick brush, and flush! Plus, look at how pretty it is!

    Blue Poppy Bath / Etsy

    Blue Poppy Bath is a small biz based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, that sells handmade bath and body products!

    Promising review: "An easy way to clean the toilet, nontoxic, and smells great. I toss one in several times a week and just brush very quickly. Excellent product." —Jeni Massi

    Get a pack of 10 from Blue Poppy Bath on Etsy for $9.50 (available in eight scents).

    6. A garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll tackle built-up grime and those nasty smells you gag at every time you're near your kitchen sink. It's truly so...disgusting.

    A gif of the foaming cleaner
    Amazon

    The biodegradable packet cleans/scrubs away at grime and odor that cause buildup and yucky smells on sidewalls, blades, under the splashguard, and other hidden areas. They come in pre-measured drop-in packets and are recommended to use about once a week!

    Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KS

    Get four packets from Amazon for $3.78.

    7. A primer with a cult-following because this stuff may help reduce the appearance of pores AND can assist in seamless makeup application. It's a win-win.

    Check out the Poreless Putty Primer on TikTok!

    My colleague Emma Lord swears by this primer. Here's what she has to say about it:

    "LOL, allow me to be the one to shout to GRAB THIS WHILE YOU CAN. Every time I've run out of it I've gotten mad at myself because, thanks to TikTok, it's constantly out of stock. Now is finally our chance!"

    Get it from Amazon for $9.

    8. A set of clips that'll make it easy to hide your bra straps while wearing racerback dresses and tank tops — no strapless bra required. 🙌

    reviewer wearing black strap across back of bra

    Promising review: "Genius!! Why did it take me so long to find these? I was looking for a solution to hide straps in a racerback tank but these straps do so much more than just that. Unlike the round clips that pull straps tightly to the center of your back, these straps lie flat and they have just enough give to allow the bra to still fit right and feel comfortable. Moreover, they can be used to keep bra straps from falling down all day!!! Such a great product." —MsChris

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.97+ (available in eight color combinations and in a pack of five).

    9. And while we're on the subject of brassieres, some bra extenders to gain an extra 2 inches in the band! If you wear a bra, you know just how rare it can be to find one that you actually adore and we want to help you preserve your faves for as long as possible. 

    Promising review: "Bought these for my pregnancy based on a tip from a recently pregnant friend. Total game-changer. Only had to buy a new sized bra once, and then used these for the rest of my pregnancy, as my cup size didn't change any more but omg my ribcage just kept on expanding and expanding to accommodate baby. IMO, these make wearing a regular bra possible during those body-changing portions of pregnancy, saving me money in the long run. Additionally, they work as expected...they clip onto the original spacers easily, they match up with the original hooks really well, and they are very comfortable and easy to use. Best $6 I've ever spent on Amazon. Buy them, you won't regret it." —Queen Bee

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 28 styles).

    10. Lock Laces — a super smart invention that'll turn your laced-up shoes into slip-ons because being interrupted mid-run by your shoe laces coming undone and trying to trip you is SUCH a vibe killer...not to mention a major safety hazard.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "Purchased two pair for my running shoes. They work very well, and I have put a bunch of miles on them. No more tying/untying, just slip on. I like how they keep unified tension across the entire laces from top to bottom. I have had no issues with the lace lock at all, it snapped in well." —Scott

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 13 colors).

    11. An earbud cleaning pen because over time, listening to your favorite shows, movies, podcasts, and songs does eventually lead to a build-up of wax and dust, which can diminish the quality of your entertainment sound experience. Simply use this baby to get rid of that yucky-ness and then get ready to enjoy the best ever listen-through of Midnights (3am Edition) by Taylor Swift.

    Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).

    12. liquid latex guard so you can simply peel off nail polish remnants you accidentally get on your skin rather than your nail.

    Promising review: "If you do nail art or want to perfect your nail polishing skills, this is the product for you. Easy to use, dries sparkly so you know it’s dry, easy peel-off in one piece, and a clean finish. I do a lot of nail art and stamping. Some of the stamping polishes are really hard to get off the cuticle but with this, they come off cleanly. Helps when I do my toes, too, if I get a little messy, the mess comes off with the latex. You can also switch the brush so you don’t waste the bottle when the brush gets clumpy." —Diannah S.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.75+ (available in two styles).

    13. An onion holder to help keep the tear-inducing veg in place as you cut it. So long onion smell lingering on your hands after dicing, you will NOT be missed!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I dice almost all my onions, so I'm exposed to open onion (and the tear-inducing gasses) every time I have to switch angles for a different cut. Then the onion starts falling apart on me so I have to use more of my hand on the onion and cut at a weird angle while not chopping off my thumb! This thing solves all that. I can get all three angles without moving my hand and without the onion falling apart. This minimizes the time I have with exposed gasses, which means no crying! (OK, maybe not NO crying. Some of these dang onions are noxious! But definitely minimal crying.)" —Ashley Cleveland

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    14. Light-dimming stickers, because while you obviously adore your technology, you don't necessarily love the LED lights that radiate from it and keep you awake at night.

    These dim 50–80% of light! They're super easy to use. All you have to do is just peel and stick, and they don't leave any sticky residue, so you can remove any time you need with ease. Plus, they can always be cut or adjusted to your preferences/needs.

    Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape but this product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Logan M

    Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $2.89.

    15. A magnet set to hang on your fridge (or any other magnetic surface in your kitchen) and always have a handy reminder nearby of what temperature meat should be cooked to. It's easier than having to constantly search on Google!

    Moonshide and Glitter / Etsy

    Moonshine and Glitter is a small biz based in Sneads Ferry, North Carolina that sells gorgeous wooden signs and home decor!

    Promising review: "I got this for my mom since I'm a chef and she's always asking me what temps to cook things too! Great quality and my mom smiled when I opened it! We put it on the side of the fridge for her to see and it's been a good laugh for her whenever she needs to know a temperature. THANK YOU!" —Eliza Schane

    Get it from Moonshine and Glitter on Etsy for $8+ (available in four sizes).

    16. And because we want to make life easier for you in the kitchen, a printable freezer storage cheat sheet for keeping you informed on how long certain foods can stay fresh in your freezer. You can thank us later.

    All you have to do is put one of these babies in like you would with any other K-Cup, brew one large cycle, watch dirty water get cleaned out, throw the pod away, and then return to brewing your faves.

    Promising reviews: "We’ve had our Keurig for a few years, and with the exception of using only filtered water and dispensing hot water every so often, we’ve never cleaned the needle or K-Cup area. I used three cleaning cups back-to-back and WOW our machine was dirty! I'm so happy I purchased these! I’ll be keeping up on cleaning these more often." —Heather Garcia

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.

    18. A portable paper soap set to ensure you always have soap on you at all times even if the restroom you're using doesn't have any. All you need is a little water to lather it into your hands and rinse it off, and you're good to go!

    Promising review: "Cute little containers that fit in your pocket. One piece lathers nicely. Great to have if traveling or just out and find yourself in a bathroom with no soap. Also great for campers. I do wish they were made in America though." —Nicki

    Get a pack of 200 from Amazon for $8.39.

    19. A pill crusher that'll quickly become a favorite product in your household if you or your loved one can't stand the thought of taking a pill whole or if your pets or kiddos can only take their medication if it's crushed up and hidden inside their food.

    Promising review: "I can't swallow pills (effects of GERD) so pill crushing has been a mess and a pain. This little gadget is quick, easy, and keeps the process tidy. Made of sturdy plastic, it's lightweight and compact and does the job beautifully! Highly recommend!" —Stephanie

    20. A toothpaste holder and squeezer so you can ensure you're utilizing every last drop before needing to stock up on more.

    reviewer holding the toothpaste in holder

    There have been mornings when I think I've run out of the toothpaste and then am forced to have bad breath BUT! There is always some toothpaste left — you just have to squeeze it out.

    Promising review: "This device is ingenious! Wished I’d known this product existed sooner. I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste, which still comes in the standard small cap so having it propped up behind the bathroom cabinet was impossible. Now, problem solved. It’s a small invention that made a positive impact. I thank the person who thought of it." —Jl33NYC

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    21. An acupressure anti-nausea wristband that claims to ward off motion sickness and nausea, minus the drowsiness side effect found in most nausea medications.

    Promising review: "These were awesome! My entire family suffers from motion sickness, especially car sickness. My little one gets sick in the car on a regular car ride through the city. So I knew that a long road trip was going to be a disaster. I was amazed at how well these bands worked for everyone! Not one single person complained about being sick for 12 hours in the car. At one point I did have one child remove their bands because they said they were getting too tight. But after only a few minutes without them, a headache started to come on, so they immediately put them back on and the relief was instant. I have suffered for decades and now I know better. I will never travel without mine again!" —1SmartCookie

    22. A heatless curling rod so you can achieve easy, breezy curls all without having to turn on hot styling tools.

    Reviewer with the headband woven into their hair
    Reviewer with curly hair

    This set comes with a curling rod, a claw hair clip, two duckbill hair clips, and two hair scrunchies. It works best when rolled with damp hair boasts being compatible with all hair types.

    Promising review: "Before purchasing, I’d seen a lot of reviews and tutorials on TikTok showing the results. My hair is thick, coarse, and naturally wavy, so I figured this might be a good alternative to rollers that are time-consuming to put in, difficult to sleep in, and ultimately not worth it. And MAN was I right to be hopeful. Wrap pieces of damp hair around it before bed, the tighter the wrap, the tighter the curl. Easy to sleep in since there’s nothing on the back of your head, and my curls are BOUNCY the next morning. My only complaint is that it doesn’t help give any top-volume, but nothing some teasing can’t fix. 10/10. I’ll never go back to a curling iron." —Mariah

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors). 

    23. A studded Starbucks cup-inspired straw cover perfect for putting on your next venti caramel macchiato during your morning commute so it doesn't spill or worse...a little buggy flies into your overpriced drink.

    25. A pack of Tide stain removing pens to easily tackle stains when you're out and about. No, coffee that spilled on my white shirt while I was rushing out this morning, you're NOT welcome to linger all day.

    Promising review: "These were a lifesaver. I was walking to the bus and decided it was a great decision to drink coffee while walking. Like a scene from an infomercial, I spilled coffee all over my white shirt. Yes, the classic coffee on the white shirt. Luckily I had one of these in my bag (I put one in each of my most-used purses in anticipation of my clumsiness). I went into a store bathroom and quickly scrubbed the Tide To-Go on my shirt. All of the coffee blobs went away and once the awkward wet splotches dried up, my shirt was perfectly white again. You've got yourself a big fan, Tide." —NAD

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.74.

    26. An exfoliating glove that'll help slough away dead skin so easily, you'll be confused as to how you made it this long without owning this genius product.

    Promising review: "These really work! No chemicals, lotions, or gels needed — just water and SO MUCH dead skin came off. I was both grossed out and strangely satisfied by this…my skin has honestly NEVER felt this soft and I’m very happy with my purchase. I will update my review after I see if it helps with keratosis pilaris (little bumps on back of arms), but already my skin looks and feel better!" —Brooke Parent

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    27. A stainless-steel odor-absorbing soap bar because garlic, onion, and fish may taste delicious in your meal, but their smell is pretty yucky, ESPECIALLY when lingering on your hands hours after cooking.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I always thought it was a hoax that a piece of steel could remove kitchen odors (like from chopping onions or garlic). I am happy to report that it totally works. Handle all the stinky food you want — even nonfood odors — and then wash your hands with this steel bar. No soap. No perfume. It just removes the odor nearly instantly. Little bar is reasonably priced as well. Best gadget I've bought in years." —Deb

    Promising review: "I bought these for my mom's car and mine a while ago and these little things are great. Since I got my license I've hated merging or switching lanes; I never felt good or safe doing it. Since having these its been a blessing, I feel less like a scared new driver. I'm currently encouraging my sister and friends to invest in these too! These are also great for backing up, because you can see exactly how close you are to hitting the car behind, and it's helpful when I parallel park in the city." —Mariam Abass

    A person wearing glasses with the sleeves on them

    Promising review: "I was a little dubious about these, but my daughter's glasses were always falling off her face and to the floor, so if I could spend a couple of bucks to save her expensive glasses, it was worth a shot. In fact, because you get five pairs, I put a set on my glasses, and I'll be darned if they don't work really well. They add a little bit of bulk to your glasses so if you're extremely fashion-conscious, it's not like tape-on-the-bridge nerdy, but it's there. But if you're more concerned about having your glasses feel like they're going to stay put on your head, then you'll like these. They aren't too thick so you don't really notice them on your ears. In fact, because of the soft silicone, they actually result in less of the occasional soreness I would get from my glasses on my ears sometimes." —Domenico Bettinelli

    32. A  makeup remover stick you're gonna be so grateful you have around on those mornings when your eyeliner just won't cooperate, you seemingly forgot how to apply lipstick, and your body decides to produce a sneeze right after you've finished putting on mascara.

    Promising review: "Why didn’t someone think of this sooner? For years, I’ve been using cotton swabs dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" —Katherine

    33. An egg separator you attach to a bowl to help separate egg whites and yolk and to prevent shells from sneaking their way into your delicious omelets or cookies.

    It's also top-rack dishwasher safe!

    Promising review: "I love the way this egg separator sits right on the rim of my skillet. I can break my eggs into the separator and scramble the whites after separating my three eggs. I bought two to always have a clean one. I wash them in the top rack of my dishwasher. They are so easy to use and then rinse and put right in the dishwasher. I like this egg separator so much I bought one for each of my two daughters-in-law." —Sue B.

    34. A poop bag dispenser equipped with a flashlight that's gonna make bringing your pupper out for walks at night an easier experience.

    The same reviewer clicking the yellow button on the dispenser to illuminate the flashlight at the bottom part of the dispenser

    Why carry poop bags AND. a flashlight when you can just carry one handy little device instead?! It's the little things that make a big difference. 

    Promising review: "I needed a poop bag holder that I could attach to my leash. While there are plenty of cheap quality plastic options out there, I went with this option because it had the added feature of a flashlight. I'm not always home in time to walk my puppy before the sun goes down so having the light attached to the holder is perfect (especially when I forget my phone on the way out of my house). I highly recommend if you'll be trying to scoop the poop in the dark." —Nikki
