These 21 Products Will Save You Money in the Long Run

This might be your best $10 ever spent. Attach this handy tool to the end of any product that has tube packaging. As you twist, it’ll evenly deposit more product, while getting out every last drop. We love it for toothpaste, cleansers, creams, and more. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Even though you might think you’ve fully run out of a product, you probably haven’t. These slim silicone makeup spatulas allow you to get into those hard-to-reach crevices to get out every last bit of product. Our editors always use these for any beloved, discontinued products they want to savor. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Genius product alert. These adaptable bottle caps attach onto the lip of most products, so you can let gravity do its thing. Remove the original cap and screw on the adapter and leakproof gasket that it comes with. (You can select from three sizes depending on the size of the bottle). Then, screw on the cap and turn your product upside down. Now, you can securely store your product sitting upside down, which will allow you to get the most out of what you already have.

If you live in a city, keep this rolling tote bag on hand so you don’t have to spend on Ubers or public transportation to run errands. It folds down, has three different handles, and durable wheels for seamless lugging. Psst…this one is a noteworthy dupe for another version that’s over $100. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Instead of buying separate travel-sized products, use this kit to decant from full-sized products you already own. It comes with various sized mini jars and small spatulas to prevent any bacterial contamination, plus you can use it as a way to decant products you’ve just about used up. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I recently bought this electric callus remover from Dr. Scholl’s and it’s just as good (if not better) than going to get a $50 pedicure. It’s battery-operated, but it comes with all the batteries you need. Use light pressure along any dry, cracked spots, and you’ll have smooth feet in minutes. It’s also FSA/HSA-eligible. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

This portable fabric shaver has been a longtime favorite at Skimm Shopping because it makes any fabric-based product look and feel brand new. You can use it to shave off any pilling on furniture, towels, and clothing, so you don’t have to immediately buy replacements. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I’ve been using these Stasher bags for years. While they’re a pricier option, they’ve lasted me for so long and are incredibly versatile. They’re freezer-, oven-, microwave-, sous vide- and dishwasher-safe, completely leakproof, and they’ve prevented me from spending money on Ziploc bags in excess. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I reach for these foldable nylon bags from Baggu every single week for my grocery runs. Most cities now are charging a bag fee, so bringing these with me has allowed me to save money (and get money back for having my own bags). Not to mention, they’re more spacious than single-use plastic and paper bags, and are easier to carry. ($42/3-pack, Baggu)

While I love a sheet mask for skincare during the week, they can get costly. These silicone masks from Pacifica are reusable. Just add your favorite serum and layer them on top. When you’re done, wipe them with some gentle cleanser and water, and store them in the tin they come with. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

Pop out the handle and massage the device in circular motions across your face. After three minutes, the device will blink so that you can switch areas. After 12 minutes, it’ll automatically shut off. It utilizes both red light therapy and heat to depuff, reduce wrinkles, and improve elasticity. If you love to get expensive facials, but want to cut back, this mini device from Solawave is a decent sub. It can be used all over your body, and I can attest that the cost per use is well worth it. ($89, Solawave)

I tested Livi Beauty’s at-home kit a couple months ago, and I was floored by the results. In this $70 kit, you’ll get everything you need for a mess-free gel manicure, including the brand’s special gel stickers, trimmers, and their mini UV light. An entire manicure only takes about 20 minutes and the results are salon-quality. After you buy the kit, the individual color stickers are just $20 ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

The trick to making your groceries last: having the right storage containers. These have a built-in filter that helps to regulate oxygen and carbon dioxide flow, so fruits and vegetables remain fresh for extended periods of time. Just make sure not to wash your food before storing it to prevent sogginess. Save money, save food, save waste — and thank us later. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

If you’re seltzer-obsessed, a SodaStream is worth the investment. This starter kit is just under $70 and comes with everything you need to make carbonated water at home. You’ll get one SodaStream canister, the device itself, and the bottle that fits inside to make carbonated water. ($69, Walmart)

We’re here to say that you still deserve to go get coffee made by someone else. But if you too are addicted, you’re going to want to keep your home setup stocked to help you save. This iced coffee maker is small enough to fit inside your fridge without hogging too much shelf space. It can brew up to a week’s worth of coffee in 12-24 hours. Add your go-to grounds, let it steep, then turn it upside down. It’ll strain out your cold brew directly into the bottom reservoir. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

I bought this last year as a way for me to make matcha lattes at home, and by now it’s saved me hundreds of dollars. My trick: Sifting the matcha powder and milk directly into the top of the frother for a creamy at-home latte. I do the same thing for hot chocolate and I’m constantly impressed by the outcome. You can pick from three temperatures and froth levels. I also love that the pitcher part is waterproof so I don’t have to worry about water damage when I’m hand-washing it. My fiancé loves it for coffee, too. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

These silicone food huggers keep cut produce fresh in the fridge. I love them because I typically don’t need to use an entire plastic bag for half an avocado or a cut tomato, and these are a simple solution. Use them for all kinds of halves, including lemons and limes. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

An understatement: Paper towels are expensive. This handy cloth-based roll from Etsy comes with 12 large cloths you can use for just about any cleaning job. They’re made of 100% cotton flannel and have stitching along the perimeter for durability. Make sure to wash them before you first use them to increase the absorbency. ($23.85, CozySimpleLiving via Etsy)

While Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castile Magic Soap has been a tried-and-true product for years, it’s a no-brainer for cutting back on spending. A little (and we really mean a little) goes a long way, which can be used in endless ways — for washing dishes, laundry, as a surface cleaner, and more. One full-sized bottle will last for months. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

We were today years old when we learned that making an Uncrustable at home really isn’t that complicated. Thanks to these shaped cutters, all you have to do is add your mini sandwich and press down. You’ll never have to buy the individually wrapped versions again. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)

This Philips Sonicare toothbrush is a basic option for those new to using an electric toothbrush. It has a built-in two minute timer that vibrates every 30 seconds to tell you to switch quadrants. I also love that it has an automatic sensor that tells you when you’re applying too much pressure. The device will tell you when it’s time to change your brush head, and it lasts up to two weeks on a single charge. An electric toothbrush is an inexpensive way to get ahead of your next dentist appointment. By taking care of your teeth now, you’ll be avoiding expensive treatments later. ({{dynamicPrice}}, Amazon)
