35 Inexpensive Problem-Solving Products That’ll Give You Some Bang For Your Buck

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2024-02-21 15:07

1. The Pink Stuff to remove grease and grime from quite literally any surface, from stoves to bathtubs to even jewelry! It works so well it'll be attached to your hip. For this price? You'll definitely get a bang for your buck.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don’t even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." —Hailey Peters

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

2. A bottle of Cosrx snail mucin essence that soothes dehydrated skin and reduces dullness. It's a cult-favorite for a reason — it's perfect for ALL skin types, even if you have oily skin! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’m in my 40s and have spent SO much money on skincare in the past few years and have finally found my holy grail. I’m not really sure what this product is supposed to do but for me it felt moisturizing (I live in a hot tropical climate and most true moisturizers leave my face looking oily), cleared up nose breakout, evened out texture, kept oil under control, and even made my blackheads WAY less prominent. It’s got a gooey almost sticky consistency that spreads very smoothly over the face and dries to nothing, I use it before applying my retinoid at night and add a layer after. In the morning I use it before sunscreen (Australian Gold) and don’t need to wear makeup anymore! Believe the hype!" —kaya

Get it from Amazon for $12.50.

3. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner because even though you can't see your week-old pasta, doesn't mean that it's not still down there. Just toss this in the sink and let the water run — it'll clean itself so you don't have to reach down there and do it, *ick*. Once you see the bath bomb-like blue fizz, the job is done and your sink is free from the backed-up gunk. 

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 Hamilton

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

4. Essence's Lash Princess mascara that enhances your beautiful lashes thanks to its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part: The formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it has the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5 AND it has over 240,000 5-star ratings!

Amazon, Kayla Boyd / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "Great coverage on the first swipe! I have been searching for a good mascara for months and have had no luck. I saw this was on sale and had good reviews so figured I’d give it a try. I was really really surprised most mascaras are goopy the first time you try time and end up getting all over I didn’t have an issue with this one which was a pleasant surprise, the brush is fiber and not silicon another pulse for me, first swipe I was shocked, it covered well and made my lashes look thicker and longer, I waited a few seconds and applied one more coat and that was it! No need to keep going back over them, I haven’t tried to remove it yet but I’m very happy with it and I think my search for the perfect mascara might be over!" —Amber Borah

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a pack of three). 

5. A "flossing toothbrush" to clean those hard-to-reach areas that most toothbrushes don't. The bristles are extra long and as thin as a strand of human hair, which makes it easy to reach in between teeth, under the gum line, and especially in crevices where cavities form. Plus, the brush is so soft — perfect for people with sensitive gums!

Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. 

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord has to say about them: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively."

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.91

6. A Saem hydrating eye stick that helps to reduce the appearance of dark circles, lines, and puffiness with Iceland mineral water, xylitol, moss and seaweed extract, and niacinamide — all without oils. For a top-notch experience, use after refrigeration to better help reduce puffiness. 

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. 

Promising review: "I have always had bags and dark circles under my eyes and have tried sooooo many things. I was skeptical that this would work, but oh. my. goodness. This little stick is amazing. The puffiness was gone. Dark circles, still there some but definitely not as bad. It also smells really nice and absorbs instantly. Plus, the container is cute. I highly recommend to anyone else who has tried all the things and been disappointed." —HeartsUnfold

Get it from Amazon for $6.79.

7. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because even though that savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and pretty much everything, it doesn't clean itself. All you have to do is pop in a tablet (with or without dishes) to remove limescale and mineral buildup from the pump and valve, hose, and tub.  Pamper your dishwasher and think of it as a thank you for all the hard work it has done for you. 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Convenient, easy, and quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." —Amazon Customer

"I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china and everything else looks fabulous. Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this, you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" —Jenny

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.49.

8. A Hard As Hoof nail-strengthening cream that helps renew your fingernails after years of nail-biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, this calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula will help keep them hydrated and strong.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This is amazing! I went from super brittle nails that I could never grow out. I had acrylic nails for two years and I wanted a break; they were so thin and damaged from the acrylics. Now only after a few weeks my nails are completely healed and grown and will not break! I wish I found this sooner, I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money on nail maintenance! Try it!" —Chelsea Lauren Hill

"I used it once a day and experienced visible results within the first week of using it. Three weeks later my nails are growing out past the cuticle and look so much better." —Lauri Bland

Get it from Amazon for $7.94.

9. A box of cleaning K-Cups to finally rid your coffee machine of old grinds and residue. Just pop one in like you would with a K-Cup and let the machine run instead of trying to clean by hand. These can help extend your Keurig's lifespan and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh — especially when you just *need* a fresh cup o' joe to function. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Thought I was having problems with my machine. Used two cups to flush the entire coffee maker out and it started working like new. Totally satisfied!" —Dara Pazooki

Get six pods from Amazon for $9.95.

10. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll remove everything from fabric surfaces, whether that be your tiny oopsies to your big *OOPS*. Now you'll be able to munch on your burrito without the fear of leaving a stain. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

11. A set of Bottle Bright tablets because shoving your hand inside a coffee tumbler to clean it just won't do the job. Just plop a tablet in, let it dissolve, and there you have it, a ✨sparkly✨ clean bottle.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $8.

12. Tonymoly's octopus-shaped blackhead remover that helps remove whiteheads, blackheads, and other impurities *and* exfoliates your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done so you don't have to constantly buy one-time-use pore strips.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flakey skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done my face looked SO much better and was super smooth. I was really amazed that this could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino

Get it from Amazon for $11.88

13. A beeswax wood polisher to get your wooden furniture and floors looking back to mint condition. It'll have everything looking *SO* brand new that your guests will be wondering if you just remodeled your home.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Works as incredibly as the reviews said! Super fast, no strong smelly chemicals, amazing results!" —Michelle B

Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

14. An adorable fish-shaped humidifier tank cleaner that'll give you the fun of having a fish without needing to take care of it. Plus, it’s more useful than actually having a fish — it keeps your humidifier cleaner longer and kills odor-causing bacteria so you don't have to constantly wash it out.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

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 $5.98

15. A collagen-coating hair treatment to treat dryness and damage. You can apply it on any type of hair — after shampooing, massage it in, and rinse after 5–20 minutes to see some luxurious locks. 

Bek O'Connell / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My hair used to be really soft, and then I discovered hot tools and hair dye. While my hair looks good I really missed the soft texture. This works so well. There are no instructions on the box but I washed my hair with my usual shampoo, towel dried it, worked about two quarter-sized dollops through my hair, let it sit for 20 minutes and then rinsed out. I went to bed with wet hair, which usually results in my hair being kind of tangled and rough-looking, but I woke up and my hair was as soft and silky as it was before I started coloring it. I'm totally in love with this product, I have long fine hair but this doesn't leave it greasy or weigh it down. I'll definitely buy again." —Ellie

Get it from Amazon for $6.74.

Read our Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment review to learn more about why my colleague calls it, "the miracle product I've been searching for."

16. A Flick Stick, aka a waterproof eyeliner stamp that creates a perfect wing — because if you're like me and usually have to redo your eyeliner a bajillion times, this is SO worth it. With this, you won't waste any time; all it takes is one stamp and DONE!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.

The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty

Promising reviews: "I do a thousand things a day, at a thousand miles per hour and I wanted to keep my love for makeup alive without it feeling like a burden or taking too much time in the morning and this helped me so much. I've always struggled to get even wings with my liner and I'm really glad I got these because now they're pretty spot-on, every time!!" —Sunny315

Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in three sizes and a combo pack).

17. An anti-soggy cereal bowl because no one should have to eat Cinnamon Toast *Crunch*less. It separates solids and liquids and can also be used for chips and dips, curry and rice, and anything else you despise eating soggy. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is something I didn’t know I needed. It’s like the creator crawled into my soul and found the deepest desire of my heart and then invented it. If you think I’m being dramatic, you should try soggy cereal and then eat cereal from THIS bowl. I’ll take 30 more, please, and hand them out as gifts." —Sarah F.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors and in packs of two or three).

18. A door draft stopper to stick to the bottom of your door to keep the heat and AC in (I just saved your electricity bill). It also helps drown out noise, keeps out bugs, and even prevents kids and pets from sliding toys under the stove and fridge  — what a lovely multi-use product.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The circulation in our house had a constant breeze coming in from below our back door. This product took about 10 minutes to install (cut to size, removal/replacement of our door stopper), and we have no more cold air blowing in from outside! The magic of the product is its rigidity. It is hard enough to block the strong draft we have, but it's soft enough to bend over our rug. If the stopper were very hard, it would push away the rug or force the rug to roll up or buckle. For us, this product is a perfect solution to our draft issue." —Wuzaaap

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

19. A clip-on strainer that attaches to any pot so you don't have to *strain* your forearms holding up a colander. Plus, no pasta will be a flight risk and end up in the sink.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Abby Kass has to say: "I recently picked one of these up, and it is such a game changer. I have hated using a colander so much. It's so bulky, hard to use, and takes SO much time to clean. This solves all those problems. I've clipped it on various pots and pans, and it's fit every single one. It makes it ridiculously easy to strain the water out of the pasta and even the excess fat from ground beef. I'm throwing my old colander away because it will never be used now that I have this genius tool!"

Promising review: "Love, love, love this pasta strainer!!! My husband and I hate cleaning out the strainer, so I ordered this to make life easier. OMG, does it make life easier!!! If this ever breaks, I’ll be ordering another! It’s very sturdy and easy to use. Absolutely love it!" —ShylohsRedShadow

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in five colors). 

20. A set of silicone stove-counter gap covers because we all know those crumbs and liquids that fall in between the way-too-narrow gap will probably never be cleaned up. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and five styles).

21. An adorably encouraging daily planner so you can jot down affirmations and your to-do list rather than keeping it all stored in that noggin of yours. You can even track your water intake and fitness plan throughout your extremely busy day. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper.

Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based business established in 2012 that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware.

Promising review: "These daily planning sheets keep this mama on TRACK! I started out printing daily planning and schedule sheets from a free download on my computer. Then I realized why not just buy some already printed so I save my ink at home. I found these and love how the day, schedule, tasks, and health habits are organized. I've already reordered once and will continue to use these." —Shannon Hoglund

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in eight other styles).

22. A toilet night-light because no one should have to struggle to find the toilet in the middle of the night. This probably isn't on your wishlist, but is something you need.

www.amazon.com

It is an LED light and has 16 colors that can either be solid or rotate between all of them. 

Promising review: "This seemingly silly little gadget has turned out to be great! The light level (brightness) can be dimmed down if desired, and the color can be set to whatever you want, but the bottom line is that you don't need to turn on a bright overhead light (which wakes me up and makes me angry, not a good combination) when you need to go into the bathroom at night. Cleaning it is a breeze, too; what seems like it's going to be a problem...isn't. I can't recommend this toilet night-light highly enough, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Could be on the gift list this December." —Wandergurrlee

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

23. Bra extenders that'll be especially handy if you're heading to the Wynn buffet. It'll add inches to the band to provide extra breathing room and your fave wire bra won't leave indents on your skin. 

www.amazon.com

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 money I've ever spent on Amazon. Buy them, you won't regret it." —Queen Bee

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three colors and in multiple size options).

24. An ingenious pair of gardening gloves because digging with your bare hands means dirt stuck in your nails *shivers*. These claw-attached gloves will let you dig easier and faster than ever before. 

Amazon

Promising reviews: "I laughed when I first saw the picture of this item. I thought, well if they don’t work I’ll use them for a costume. But they are amazing at pulling weeds. I use mine for those pesky weeds in the rocks. One pull and you get root and all." —cynthia Williams

"I was skeptical about how well these are made. I stand corrected. These are well-made and will stand up to years of gardening fun. Besides, even if you never actually dig any dirt with them, they are well worth the exclamations of 'what the heck are THOSE?' from everyone." —Regmanabq

Get it from Amazon for $7.96+ (available in three colors and as a pack of two).

25. A sheet of door-dampening bumper pads so no one can hear you grabbing a box of Cheez-Its from your pantry at 1 a.m. Stealth mode: on ✅.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These come with an adhesive back so you can simply peel them off the sheet and stick them on your cabinets. 

Promising reviews: "Work just as promised. My husband always slams the cabinet doors. It’s been really bothering me and prompted me to find a solution without reinstalling new hinges. These little pads have reduced the noise by 95%. Love it! Worth every penny. Took me a whole 10 minutes to do my entire kitchen and we have a lot of cabinets. Thank you!" —MeL

"Didn't know I needed the silence until I installed these things that my husband purchased. Our kitchen is so quiet now, absolutely amazing and simple fix." —Chris

Get 100 clear bumpers and 20 black bumpers from Amazon for $6.99.

26. A bottle of Bio-Oil that uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and sunflower) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "Holy grail product. This is an amazing product. I have sensitive skin, but this has not affected me negatively at all. This product is amazing. It took about three months for me to get wonderful results. There is a slight, somewhat medicinal smell, but I actually kind of like it. If you have scars of any kind, I would highly recommend giving this product a try. I have an old burn scar on my hand; no matter what I used it never seemed to fade in the slightest. I’ve been using Bio-Oil on it for about three months now and it’s made such a difference! It’s basically completely gone! Such a better result than I was expecting! I was only hoping to fade it slightly." —sarah_baerah

Get it from Amazon for $9.95.

27. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp so you don't have spend time scrubbing the toilet yourself. Each stamp lasts up to 12 days and cleans the toilet with every flush. Bye-bye rings and limescale! 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to see it in action! 

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

Get it from Amazon for $5.50.

28. An eyelash comb that separates your lashes if your mascara clumps up when you apply it. Just brush this through a few times and you're good to go!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "No matter how good the brand/wand is, even a brand-new mascara will leave clumps behind. Once applied, mascara dries too fast. This tool easily glides through lashes to remove clumps." —John

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

29. A makeup spatula (as seen on Shark Tank) so you can get every cent out of your favorite beauty products. With this, you won't be cringing every time you throw out your concealer that still has a quarter left in it. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I just started using it and it really lets me use all the foundation in the bottle. I feel I'm getting my money's worth when I can see all the foundation gone. Great little tool." —Chavez

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

30. A Shark Tank-favorite Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier that's quite small but can lift up to 80 pounds! I know we all dread having to take several trips to bring in groceries, but with this baby you just hook your bags to the clip and take *everything* inside. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Click & Carry is a Shark Tank- and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. 

Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." —Hung

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors). 

31. A knee stabilizer band so when you're running on the treadmill, your poor knees won't have to take in all the shock. It's perfect for any physical activity, whether that's playing a casual tennis game or running a marathon. The strap can be adjusted to fit nice and snug on the curve of your knee.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Be sure to check with your doctor first to address any knee concerns *before* trying a knee stabilizer band for workouts.

Promising review: "I could not get up from a seating position without pain. I was getting ready to adjust the height of the toilet and bed. When these arrived I put them on and was so skeptical that these skinny strips could do anything (after years of knee braces, stretch bandages, mechanical get-ups). I was seated and had to rush to the kitchen and was halfway there when I froze — no pain. No pain. It is unbelievable. I can look for my shoes under the bed and get back up with no god-searing pain! Buy! I'm getting another pair; don't want to risk misplacing." —Amazon Customer

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors).

32. A First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub that'll exfoliate dry and rough bumps for smoother skin. This scrub can also help decongest pores and remove dead skin. It's vegan and cruelty-free and safe for all skin types!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My forearms have always been rough and red. I used this for the first time tonight, just my hand rubbing it over my arms in the shower. I asked my teenage daughter to touch my arms and she asked me if I shaved them. That's how smooth they are. I highly recommend for the fact that it made my arms smooth for the first time in like 30 years." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.

33. A silverware sorter for your kitchen drawer so you're not playing iSpy every time you need a utensil. Plus it saves so much space that you'll realize that you can actually store other things in there, too!

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

"I saw this product on social media and had to try it. It fits perfect and freed up so much space in my drawer. I have a smaller kitchen and only have one drawer, so this was a must. I put a before and after picture (above)." —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $9.60+ (available in two styles).

34. LED-dimming stickers because even the tiniest of lights can really prevent you from falling asleep. Just place one of these babies on to minimize the glow.

www.amazon.com

If you prefer a super-dark room rather than a semi-dark room, you can buy the full blackout edition that'll completely block out light from electronics.

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 cavelike. 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!! Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes." —Amazon Customer

Get a sheet of over 100 dimming stickers (in multiple sizes and shapes) from Amazon for $4.49.

35. A pack of FryAway cooking oil solidifier powder for disposing of grease without the fear of burning yourself or clogging your pipes. Just sprinkle and stir the powder into hot oil and watch it coagulate.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy!

Promising review: "Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." —Ryan O.
