These 32 Things Are Less Than 10 Bucks *And* You'll Actually Use Them

1. A miraculous enzyme-based laundry stain remover that banishes those pesky dried sweat, oil stains, and deodorant marks in just one wash, saving your beloved clothes from looking like they've seen better days.

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action.

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.

2. A variety pack of light-dimming stickers made to cover those overly bright LED lights on your appliances and power strips. No more squinting or shielding your eyes when you're trying to relax in a dimly lit room — or trying to sleep in blissful darkness!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Super easy to install and cut down all light from my TV’s LED indicator after two stickers — plus, I can still use the remote, no problem! This made my life so much better with just a sticker. Definitely recommend!" —Em

3. A dual-layered fine-bristled flossing toothbrush with special bristles to clean in between your teeth and get out all those popcorn kernels and sesame seeds from your everything bagel, leaving you feeling like you just left the dentist. And if you have sensitive teeth, no worries, because reviewers say these bristles are super soft.

Promising review: "I had a tool similar to this years ago but it was plastic and shaped a little differently and I just didn’t see much results so I didn’t stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which in this case is a good thing ;-).

Saw these on the Momfessionals blog and decided to go against everything that I had ever been told for 30-plus years. ... I decided to shave that mustache!!! It has made my life so much better! Have been doing this for about a month and only have to about once a week. If you’re on the fence, go for this. Don’t waste another second waxing or plucking. I do clean the blade after each use with a little rubbing alcohol!! Get this to make your life easier.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have never reviewed an Amazon product before, but this product has made my life so much better.

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors).

8. A waterproof pouch that'll protect your phone while you swim with dolphins, high-five a sea turtle, or when you fall off a Jet Ski in Miami. (Or was that just me?)

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It fits any phone up to 7 inches diagonally, and you can also use it to keep your ID and money from getting wet!

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "It's also a great fix for keeping out sand and dirt (and a great option for runners, if you're caught in the rain but still want to be able to toggle through your music options)."

Promising review: "I purchased this case in July for an upcoming canoe trip with a friend, and as luck would have it, we flipped our canoe. Being the rebel that I am, I chose not to wear my phone around my neck, and so it, my ID, and my debit card ended up at the bottom of the river and I just assumed it would be discovered a thousand years from now and placed in a museum as an ancient artifact. Fast-forward to this week. I was contacted via FB by an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office diver and guess what he found? Yup, my phone case with all of the contents intact and dry as a bone! He had to cut the case open, but there was not one single drop of water in it and he ended up purchasing a case for himself because he was just that impressed!" —Julie McDonald

Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in 14 colors).

9. The Saem hydrating eye stick, aka the perfect remedy for dehydrated skin. This eye treatment is made with Icelandic glacier water, giving your skin the fresh hydration boost it needs on days when you've hit the snooze button one too many times. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It also can help tighten the appearance of eye wrinkles if you'd prefer for them not to be as noticeable. And here's a tip! It reduces puffiness faster if used after refrigeration.

Promising review: "Say goodbye to puffiness in seconds. I saw this on a BuzzFeed article and thought it was so cute. I've used Clinique and It Cosmetics eye creams and they are great but this is different. I like this more for morning/pre-makeup. It absorbs in literal seconds! And it gets rid of puffiness super quickly. This is perfect for mornings. This is my new holy grail eye cream. A few swipes on the eye lip and under the eye and I'm good to go. No tapping in." —ChrisTb

Get it from Amazon for $6.83 (available in two versions and packs).

10. A beloved tub of TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste capable of cleaning and removing stubborn stains and dirt from surfaces such as sinks, cookware, tiles, and more WITHOUT the need for elbow grease. Using The Pink Stuff can restore the shine and cleanliness of your home, making it look newer and fresher.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where has this stuff been in all of my 46 years! Cleaned my stove like is wasn't even dirty! I simply put a small amount on my sponge and attacked the baked-on crud! It came off easily with just a small amount of elbow grease. 💪🏼 Nothing like I normally have to do with spraying stinky, fuming oven cleaner and letting it sit, scrub, and then repeating over and over until it's clean! This has made my life so much better! Now off to tackle the hard water spots and soap scum in the shower!!" —Jenny

Get it from Amazon for $5.29.

11. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover because life happens, and this water-based cleaning spray can get out just about any mess. Think: ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, blood, or even *old* stains you've been pushing off for weeks (or years) now. 

www.amazon.com

Check out this TikTok of the Folex carpet spot remover to see it in action!

Promising review: “There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can’t live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We’ve got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.” —Carobnty

Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

12. A before-you-go toilet spray so you can avoid that awkward walk out of the public bathroom stall after dropping a big one. The natural essential oils in the spray create a barrier on top of the water, trapping odors below so they don't escape into the air. It's like an invisible force field of freshness.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love the variety of scents that linger long enough to work for the purpose intended. I love giving them as gifts!!!" —AML

Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

13. A tiny but mighty pill cutter designed to slice through pills much more cleanly than other methods, requiring only a gentle press. Now you can more easily and quickly split those pills that have to be taken in a half or quarter dose without wasting meds or creating a mess. (Pet owners swear by this for managing their fur baby's pills, too!)

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I keep chuckling about how much this simple, inexpensive device has improved my life. Instead of struggling to cut pills in half and sending tiny particles scattering all over the place — I press down one quick time and POOF! The pill is cut almost exactly in half with little or no stray particles. I LOVE this little thing. LOL." —J.Ro

Get it from Amazon for $2.99+ (available in purple, blue, and green; selected at random).

14. A bottle of nail and cuticle repair oil if you've ever wanted that salon finish without having to go to the salon. It not only helps keep your delicate nails and cuticles moisturized, but you can also apply it while relaxing and watching TV — that's how simple it is. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Found it on TikTok and I’m so pleased with the results. My nails are getting stronger and growing. And the best of all, not chipping. Love it." —sidna saavedra

Get it from Amazon for $9.90.

15. A cleverly designed weatherproof hide-a-key rock because everyone and their grandma thinks the doormat is the go-to spot for spare keys — who's going to get down on their hands and knees to comb through your landscaping? This handy trinket allows you to hide a spare key in plain sight by blending in with your doorstep decor, making it the unsung hero of your daily routine.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the key rock in action.

Promising review: "This fake rock was exactly what I had been hoping to find. It blends in extremely well with the rock from my landscaping, and the key fits inside perfectly. The slide on the bottom was very easy to close as well. I definitely recommend it!" —P Gilroy

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).

16. Bra extenders radiating Dexter-level genius vibes. You can adjust the band length without having to go up a whole cup size, which is perfect for when you're in between sizes or just need a little bit more room.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "It does what it says: extends your bra fit for comfort and to reduce bra lines in back. It does not stretch (I found the stretchy ones didn't provide enough support). These are very soft and comfortable. I didn't realize how important that was until I ordered a different brand and they were torture — itchy and stiff and awful, even after washing. I ditched them and immediately reordered this brand so I'd always have enough on hand!" —McNally16

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and in different size options).

17. And a pack of discrete bra strap holders, aka the ultimate life hack for every bra wearer out there! The handy clips on either side will keep your bra straps up and securely in place — no more having to readjust every five minutes.

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Since I started using these clips, I haven't had to pull up my straps a single time! I used to have to pull them back up a dozen times a day. No more. Now I can put on my bra and then just forget that it is there. I don't notice any change in the fit of my bra. I wear a large cup size and the last thing I wanted was to add to that. However, with the straps fully extended on my bra, I find the fit to be essentially the same as before. The only difference is that the straps stay in place. If you've ever struggled to keep your straps up, you owe it to yourself to try this product." —K. Howe

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in ten color combos).

18. A Panoxyl foaming wash over 45,000 reviewers have given 5 stars. This maximum-strength face wash contains 10% benzoyl peroxide, the highest over-the-counter concentration you can buy. It's also antimicrobial, which means it's fighting off the bacteria that causes acne in the first place and preventing new breakouts from forming.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This stuff works like magic. I’m 33 and I’ve dealt with bad back acne since I was a teenager. After one week of using this, my back is night and day different. Just remember to not wash it off immediately. Let it sit on your skin for about two minutes for it to work. —Filburt_Turtle

Get it from Amazon for $9.77.

19. A bestselling earwax removal kit if you feel like using cotton swabs is pushing the wax further in instead of getting it out. All you have to do is apply a few drops, wait a few minutes, and flush with warm water, and you'll have those little nuggets coming out like you struck a gold mine.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally, chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterwards, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

20. An exfoliating scrub mitt that will have you thinking you're a snake shedding skin. This mitt is made out of a fiber that is rough enough to visibly lift dead skin away but also buffs and smoothes, leaving your skin velvety soft. Reviewers also use this mitt to remove spray tan.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I get a spray tan every week and removing it is my least favorite part of the process. Previously, I have used “exfoliate gloves” which result in scrubbing at my skin for 30 minutes, just to leave it patchy & still in tact. I used this product for the first time this evening… WOW. The entire process took 10 minutes, fully removed my tan, and left my skin feeling so soft. I wish I would have purchased this sooner and would recommend to anyone in the same situation!" —Kristin De Stefano

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

21. Some waterproof screen repair tape here to fix any hole, big or small. Even if it starts raining cats and dogs outside, your screen will stay intact.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This tape works wonders. I am trying to get a recent move paid off, so I really couldn't afford to replace screens at this point, even if I did them myself. This tape made all the difference in my house. I no longer had to leave the windows closed worrying about sitting on the couch with fly swatter in hand, or watching my cats zoom around the house trying to catch them, and knocking everything over in the process." —MsRich2U

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

22. A cradle cap comb because "easy peasy lemon squeezy" isn't a strong enough phrase to explain how game-changing this is for your child's bathtime routine. All you gotta do is rub the bumpy silicone side on your little nugget's scalp to loosen up those flakes, and then use the fine teeth to comb them out.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

New parents, don't panic. Cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants.

Promising review: "The pictures posted here are legit. It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing and gross and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in different directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah

Get it from Amazon for $4.19.

23. A pack of door pinch guards to prevent those yelps of pain from kiddos, adults, and even our furry friends getting caught in closing doors. It also protects everyone from those heart-stopping moments of loud door slams that have everyone jumping out of their skin!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My 3-year-old's favorite activity had become shutting our cats in rooms so they could not get out, leading us to have to stop what we were doing to come to the rescue and answer their cries for freedom dozens of times a day. These are sturdy, fit snugly, hold up to attempted slammings — they do the job! Maybe a little overpriced for some pieces of foam, but whatever — they’ve made my life so much better, I’d buy them all over again!" —Mandy

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $9.95.

24. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner if “rank” isn’t a strong enough word to describe the state of your garbage disposal. Not only does this cleanser get rid of that funky smell, but it also cleans the underside of the splash guard, which is often overlooked in the cleaning process.

Amazon

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica House

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

25. A nifty gadget called the Bug Bite Thing, a suction tool designed to extract the insect saliva or venom left under the skin when you're bitten or stung and provide relief from itching.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

See it in action on TikTok here.

Promising review: "Mosquitoes love me. I have yet to find a topical that actually helps and as much as I hated to spend $10 on this thing, it might be the best $10 I've ever spent. This thing actually works and has already saved me much itchy misery. It's easy to use and you don't need to use it immediately after the bite in order to get some relief (better if it's soon I'd say, but I've also used it hours later and it helps!)." —KrisinCO

Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in three colors as well as multipacks).

26. A pack of soft and bouncy makeup sponges — people are saying they're better than Beauty Blender and Real Techniques at a fraction of the cost. Their soft texture allows for a smooth and even application, whether you're blending out foundation, concealer, or contour. Reviewers also love how durable these little sponges are and that they don't easily rip or tear when you wash them.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "New holy grail! These sponges are amazing! I've been buying the Beauty Blender for years, and as you all know, they are $20 for just one. An aunt of mine had ordered these, and I tried one and was amazed by the quality. These are my new go-to everyday sponge. I love them!! You get five for half the price of a Beauty Blender. These double in size when wet, and they apply foundation flawlessly...so if you are debating, just buy them! You won't be disappointed 😊" —Aileen S

Get a set of five from Amazon for $5.94 (available in six color combos).

27. A grill scrubber that doesn't require hours of elbow grease to remove BBQ remnants from last year's Fourth of July.

Amazon

Promising review: "My grill accumulated a lot of crud as a result of many cookouts. I tried to keep it as clean as possible with a wire brush and various cleaning pads and cleaners. I never could get the rack and grates to look like new. There was always a layer of permanent food residue, carbon, and other debris that defied removal. I decided to give the Magic Stone Grill Cleaner a shot. Surprise! Surprise! This is truly a magic stone. It removed everything from the grill parts that I worked on and left them looking like new. The cleaning process did put grooves in the bottom of the stone and that helped to get the sides cleaned off as well." —Duffer.

Get it from Amazon for $6.88.

28. A self-groomer cat toy because sometimes your cat wants all the face scratches but you're frankly just not in the mood. Easily mount the brush on a corner surface and watch your cat enjoy a quick scratch session whenever they feel like it, while the brush catches loose hair in the process.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought it hoping my elderly cat would stop pestering me constantly to brush him. It was the best money ever spent. He took to it immediately and spent 10 minutes after I installed it just brushing himself. He loves it and is happy, so I’m happy." —allison

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

29. A pair of reusable anti-nausea bands if you're someone who suffers from motion sickness and knows how much it can ruin your travel experience. These little bands apply acupressure to a specific point on your wrist, helping to relieve nausea without needing to carry around bottles of medication.

www.amazon.com

For more info on how to use acupressure for nausea management, check out this guide from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.

Promising review: "I have gotten car sickness for as long as I can remember, even as a child. I am 40 now. I was recently asked to go on a road trip which included day travel, busy city and mountains. (Sun, stop-and-go traffic, and winding roads are all triggers for sickness). I hesitated. It was then recommended by a family member to try these. With hesitation, I bought them and wore them the entire time. I did not feel nauseous ONE time. My boyfriend even pointed out on the way home that I was on my phone and not sick. (Reading anything while riding has ALWAYS been a no go!) I was able to look out the window and enjoy the scenery (typically I can only look at the road as looking outside the window makes me sick). These will literally change my life as I can now enjoy traveling by car!!" —Sarah Martinez

Get a pair from Amazon for $8.43.

30. The fan-fave Nyx makeup setting spray that every makeup enthusiast should have in their arsenal. A few spritzes of this miracle elixir will lock your makeup in place, preventing it from smudging, melting, or fading away. It's perfect for those days when your foundation seems to have a mind of its own.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Such a great product at an awesome price point. My makeup stays on all day without slipping and this product has become a holy grail makeup essential for me.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Got these, and my life has improved. Wires stay handy. Gave a few to my son, and he’s happy, too." —Kindle reader

"Love these! This solved the problem of unplugging something (iPad, phone, etc.) and having the cord fall off my nightstand. Such a small thing, but it really helps keep things organized — especially if it’s something you leave plugged in." —D. Davies-Uttech

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $6.97.

I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren
