About to hire cleaners to tackle whatever the heck is going on in your tub? 1-800-The-Pink-Stuff, baby!!
A cold brew coffee maker so you can break your expensive cold brew habit and mayhaps inspire yourself to break some *other* expensive takeout habits to boot. This is so easy use that all you have to do is stick your favorite ground coffee in the filter, seal the airtight lid on top, and pop it in the fridge overnight. Boom, four cups of cold brew.
A set of affordable, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds reviewers compare to $$$ AirPods, except arguably better — these are completely waterproof (like, you can fully take them in the shower) and come with several silicone earbuds to get the best fit possible.
A weekly meal planner you can use to map out all your meals and grocery needs in advance and cut costs. This is also a great way to save time online ordering and/or foraging for groceries in the wild by going in with a plan.
And a reviewer-beloved veggie chopper to get you in the ~zone~ on meal prepping again, so you can save money and eat as deliciously as possible. This gadget julienne, chops, spiralizes, and slices vegetables in an instant and has a built-in storage container to hold the chopped veggies so you can pour them into a pan or dish without any mess.
Plus a silicone baking mat for your sheet pan, so on days when you’re trying to resist the expensive siren call of Seamless you can just slap a bunch of veggies and frozen goods down, drizzle them in olive oil, and shove them in the oven. Bonus: these are super easy to clean, so you won’t have to deal with a mess!
A Bentgo stackable lunch container perfect for commuters who want to get back in the groove of bringing cheaper lunches from home again — this right here is a perfect leakproof, sturdy option for your mobile salad/charcuterie/”girl dinner” situations.

A breakfast sandwich maker so you can quit throwing all your money at the McDonald’s drive-thru every morning. This simultaneously cooks an egg, toasts bread, warms precooked meat, and melts cheese into the perfect sammie in less than five minutes. (Sorry not sorry to everyone else still waiting in the drive-thru line!)
Plus an egg bite maker to flex on Starbucks and Costco and all the other places where you’re paying top dollar for fresh or frozen egg bites by — gasp?? — customizing and making your own for cheap. Bonus: you can take the silicone molds off of it and use it as a regular grill for sandwiches!
A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that plops into your sink and clears the gunk up with blue fizz when you run water on it, clearing out all the evidence of your culinary misadventures in one go. In other words, an easy, cheap sink maintenance routine that will keep you from calling costly plumbers to clear it up.
Plus a drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go instead of buying a ton of chemical gunk to clear out the pipes or hiring a professional.
A two-stage knife sharpener, because those blades you bought back in the day?? They’re probably super dull by now. Instead of replacing them with pricey versions, ~refresh~ them with this.
A “Bread Buddy” dispenser that prevents expensive food waste by keeping bread *way* more airtight than it does in just the bag alone. Reviewers also love the clever way you can dispense the slices, and how much easier it is to store without worrying about it getting smushed!
Peach Slices Acne Spot Dots, a hydrocolloid sticker similar to the more expensive “Mighty Patch” that you can apply straight onto a zit to flatten it, reduce redness, and even suck the gunk out of individual trouble spots overnight. Personally *love* to see a problem magically disappear while I’m snoozing.
A bottle of Elizavecca Hair Treatment, a far more affordable Olaplex-like repairing mask infused with collagen ingredients and protein extracts that will help restore hair health and reduce shedding. All you gotta do is apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out.

A pair of popular cross-waist leggings heralded as the perfect cheap alternative to the TikTok-viral Aerie leggings — reviewers love this version for the streamlined look, the soft four-way stretch, and of course, the hidden pocket in the waistband. 👀
A set of four biodegradable, machine-washable Swedish dish cloths — they’re super absorbent and designed with a blend of cotton and wood for easier scrubbing, plus each one of these can replace over a DOZEN paper towel rolls. The Brawny paper towel man is shaking.
A fabric defuzzer to revitalize all your favorite knits and cardigans so you can let them shine the way the way Meg Ryan’s rom com heroines intended, rather than giving up and buying new ones.
A citrus-scented foaming car upholstery cleaner, because sometimes we get a little bit lawless with our Slurpees and/or Taco Bell sauces and reinforcements have to be called in for a deep clean. Skip the expensive cleaning service — this will work on your seats *and* door panels to easily lift up food, beverage, sweat, and body oil stains.
A set of itty-bitty dermaplaning razors as a cheap alternative to getting your brows waxed and shaped. Instead you can use these at home to take care of those lil’ unibrow hairs that keep dodging your tweezers or work whatever face fuzzies you might want to take care of in a gentle way.
An AirPod cleaning pen so you can skip costly repairs — all you have to do is gently dig into the nooks and crannies of your charger and speakers to restore your sound quality to top notch again. (Listen, Taylor Swift did not record the 10-minute version of “All Too Well” for you to disrespect it by blotting it out with too much earwax!!)
A six-piece (!!) set of high-performance matte lipsticks at a *fraction* of the price of its competitors that stays the heck put without drying or cracking your lips by the end of the day. (Seriously, reviewers are DRAGGING major brands in their comments, these are so cheap and effective.)
A Bluapple, which is a teensy little produce saver that you can tuck into your fridge drawer to help keep your fruits and veggies fresh two to three times longer. All you have to do is replace the packet inside the Bluapple every three months, and bam! Tons of money saved and stress avoided trying to race to eat your way through the drawer before it goes bad.
A trio of hydrating lip sleeping masks reviewers compare to the far more expensive Laneige version. This even comes in four different flavor combos so you can split them among friends, if you’re feeling generous during this dry skin-inducing winter.
An MVP-worthy pet urine stain-removing spray that will instantly tackle both old and new stains *plus* the yucky smell, so you can enjoy the quality time you’re getting with your pet without attempting to math out just how much it’s going to cost to replace that carpet they keep peeing all over.
A pair of affordable, ridiculously comfy pull-on cushioned boots reviewers *swear* are just as comfy and durable as the Ugg version, plus come in way more colors.

An Erase-A-Hole putty that’s basically a $12 investment in keeping your walls (and more importantly, your security deposit!!) in tact no matter *how* ambitious your decorating gets. This easy three-step process will have the walls looking brand spanking new in no time flat.
A pair of faux-leather straight-leg pants reviewers herald as an inexpensive alternative to the Abercrombie version, and especially adore because they secretly have a decent comfy stretch to make them easy to wear all day.
