If you’re entering your frugal era (same), adding a few of these to your routine can help.

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

And it does it all without any sulfates, parabens, or bleaches! Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord uses this: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)."

Promising review: "As a mom to two toddler boys, I couldn’t live without this stuff. My youngest just threw up strawberries on my husband's sold-out, cream-colored baseball cap, and this got it out in 15 minutes like new. I hate laundry, and this makes it so much more bearable and saves my kiddos' clothes more times than I can count — worth the cost for how much I save in not replacing stained clothing. You want a miracle worker for kids' clothes, adult spills, blood etc. This is it." —dennis Vrijsen

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in four sizes, refills, packs of two or three, and in a kit with the spray bottle and refill). 

Promising review: "I bought this because I have the outlandish idea that my refrigerator will look just like those on TikTok, but I am pleasantly surprised to find that it keeps my cold cuts fresher for much longer than expected. It's large enough to hold a pound or more of cold cuts or cheese, which is a bonus. The sealing technology is superb and strong. At one point, I almost could not open the container due to the seal being so airtight. Not only does this product look good in my fridge, but it is saving me money, so definitely a win-win for me." —IrishEyes

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes, a split style, and in a variety four-pack). 

Promising review: "These are the best for half of any round fruit or vegetable. I'm loving them and [that there's] no more messing around with so many small plastic bags. They don't seem to pick up the smell of onions either, which is a big plus! Easy to open and close, keep food fresh, and seem to be durable. I've had them for a few months now and I'm going to give some away as gifts to family and friends!" —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colorways). 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord loves these: "HELLO, I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE. Despite all the rave reviews I was definitely skeptical of space-saving bags that didn't require a vacuum, and even as they were actively squishing my clothes into oblivion I still couldn't quite believe it. I had easily two suitcases worth of clothes I wanted to pack for a three-week trip to London, and I managed to neatly pack the entirety of my wardrobe in one roller carry-on bag. Truly all I had to do was put my clothes in the bag, push them to the bottom, and then sit on it to get the air out before sealing it up. I had tons of extra bags and make a habit of taking them with me in case other people joining me on trips need them to be able to pack souvenirs on the way home. I'm never taking a long trip without these again — these are worth every damn penny." 

Promising review: "I cannot rave enough about these! I bought them for a trip to Europe to reduce clothing size for travel. They worked really well with the little plastic bag sealer attachments. I was skeptical at first when I took them out, because they look really cheap. But these bags are incredibly durable. I use them for every trip now. I like to use one as a dirty laundry storage, because they also keep the smell contained once sealed. I highly recommend these for any travel situation." —Katlyn

Check out a TikTok of the Sqeezy in action. 

Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn’t look brand-new like I was hoping, it’s 10 times better!! This product really does work!" —GreenGoddess

Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.39. 

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner. I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain, to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available as a two-pack). 

Check out a TikTok of the sandwich cutter in action. 

Promising review: "I’ve tried three other gadgets that advertised that they make Uncrustable sandwiches, and this is the only one that’s made a perfect one. My kid’s sandwiches have remained completely sealed and mess free while eating. I bought this one to prepare peanut butter and jelly’s for a four day trip across country. Not a single time did I need to baby wipe my toddlers cause they were a sticky mess from jelly. I have made Uncrustables fresh and frozen to defrost later and it’s all stayed sealed. I absolutely recommend.' —Elizabeth Monroe

Get it from Amazon for $7.18+ (available in seven colors, a heart style, and in a kit with three cut-out shapes). 

Smart Sheep is a woman-owned small business that specializes in wool dryer balls. 

Promising review: "The quality is outstanding! If fuzz gets on it, it doesn't get tangled up, it just sits on top for very easy removal. It's so effective that it's cut my drying time down and kept my clothes from the dog hair sticking to my clothes. They are soft and slightly bigger than tennis balls. Mine have stayed in the dryer and a still preforming their job way above expectations." —Debbie S. 

Get a set of six from Amazon for $26.95+ (available in five styles, including plain white). 

Check out a TikTok of the weekly meal planning pad in action. 

Sweetzer and Orange is a small business specializing in planners, stationery, and educational products. 

Promising review: "The magnet is great, sticks to fridge very well, and does not slide or move. Perfect for planning meals and adding needed grocery items to the right side. Then you just tear off the right side and head to the store. This has made our family meal planning so much easier!" —SandyBeach

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles). 

You can use this to brew hot coffee *and* cold brew by adding coffee grounds to the top portion, tamping it down, letting it steep, and pumping into a carafe full of hot or cold water. 

Check out a TikTok of the Oxo Rapid Brewer in action. 

Promising review: "I'm in love with various forms of coffee preparation and I've tried all forms of equipment to make them at home. If asked what I prefer for a quick cappuccino, that's easy. This Oxo Rapid Brewer. I've played with my Aeropress for over two decades, including all the necessary add-ons and doo-dads to get close to what this machine does on the first attempt. Get comfortable with a bag of fresh beans, a quality burr grinder, and friends. Do rounds of blind taste tests. I think you'll agree." —Cynthia 

Get it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available with or without extra accessories and as a four-pack). 

Febu is a small business that specializes in earth-friendly, non-toxic home products. 

Promising review: "I love these! I have used these for years instead of a sponge or a dishrag. They hold up great, mop up crumbs and spills quickly, can be popped in the dishwasher to clean, and bring a bit of color to the sink area in my otherwise neutral kitchen." —Wynnefred

Get a set of five from Amazon for $14.95 (available in 15 sets). 

Promising review: "We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. This seed works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off, though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch-long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!" —Jessica N. 

The 8-in-1 chopper includes a medium and fine dicer, a regular and coarse grater, a slicer, a zester, a blade to make wavy slices, and a blade to julienne. 

Check out a TikTok of the veggie chopper in action. 

Promising review: "Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. We used to have a Prepworks chopper, which was a similar idea, but you had to press so hard to chop, and it broke after not too long. This one requires very little effort to cut through the foo,d and it has a generous container." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in seven styles and in four colors). 

Buddeez is a family-owned, Missouri-based small business that specializes unique household products. 

Check out a TikTok of the Buddeez sandwich bread dispenser in action. 

Promising review: "The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer, that would keep the bread from getting crushed from the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" —DRMcQuaig

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.99 (available in red or white). 

Psst — it also comes with a double-sided sticker if your fridge isn't magnetized, of you'd rather hide it in a cabinet! 

Promising review: "These magnetic cheat sheets are wonderful. So handy instead of a cookbook; I use it every day! I gave my niece an air fryer for Christmas, so I bought her a set, too, and she loves it." —KateK.

Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (also available with an Instant Pot guide). 

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." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in packs of 36 and 78).

Promising review: "I absolutely love these salad containers. These containers fit a ton of salad greens and all sizes of toppings — nuts, beans, cheese, fruits, meats, pasta, etc. They make packing lunch easy. Just throw in some greens, a protein, a dressing, and toppings that make salad fun for you! We use ours several times per week, and they make it to both our jobs without spilling or leaking. I walk and ride public transit, so mine gets tossed around a bit. Several of my friends and coworkers have bought them after seeing mine!" —Heathiedoodle

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in eight colors). 

Promising review: "Saved me $140. The right AirPod was extremely muffled, and nothing I tried worked. Prime Day was coming up, so I decided I’d just get a new pair. But this came across my recommended products, so I decided maybe I’d try it out and see if it works. I had no hopes. But I cleaned and now they sound almost as great as when I got them two years ago. Saved me money. Highly recommend this for any AirPod owner." —Hira Khan

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in black and white). 

Turbo Mops is a small business that specializes in eco-friendly cleaning products. 

Promising review: "If you have a Swiffer Wet Jet and are tired of having to buy those mop pads I would 10000x recommend these. All you do is stick it to the bottom of your mop like you would a mop pad and mop like normal. It stays on great and even picks up crumbs better than the store bought mop pads. Once you’re done you just throw it in the wash and it’s good as new. I’m not sure if you’re supposed to dry them, but I do and they come out just fine! I love these!!" —Kate

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a pack of four and eight). 

Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $19.14! 

TubShroom is a small business that specializes in drain products for home use. 

Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and (as you can see from the picture) stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hair go down the drain, but I went ahead and ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing, and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention, and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.99 (available in gray and chrome and as a four-pack). 

Promising review: "I've only been using these for four days but my skin is smoother! I like that I'm not using plastic bottles for my body soap. I am using the least exfoliating one for now. But once I'm totally used to it, I will move up to the other one. So far, I'm impressed. Lots of lather and my soap doesn't slip out of my hands anymore!" —Doris M. 

Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.45+ (available in deep exfoliating, gentle exfoliating, and a pack of both). 

Promising review: "This product has become a must in our household! We discovered it while looking for another scent/odor control product that had a strong citrus scent to spray around a Christmas tree a year or so ago, when one of our dogs suddenly decided that he was going to start peeing on the Christmas tree every night. Not only did it deter him from peeing on it, it smells fantastic, and now we use it all the time for any smells around the house, pet odor-related or not! It only takes one or two sprays as well, and the whole area smells fabulous afterward." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (available in three scents and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (available in two sizes, packs of two or three, and in a set with the Diamond Dazzle Cloth, also sold separately). 

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. 

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H. 

Get a starter set (one device, two glue cards) from Amazon for $10.59 (also available in a pack with two devices and two glue cards, or glue card refills in packs of three, six, or 12). 

Slobproof is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. 

Reviewers also love these for doing detail work on painted designs and murals! As an added bonus, these are totally airtight, so the paint in them won't dry out if you don't finish up the pain in the pen all at once. 

Promising review: "These are genius! They work so well and make it no hassle to quickly retouch small areas that get scratched up. Never knew something like this existed, and now am in love with them!" —Jeff

Get a pack of two on Amazon for $14.99 (also available in a five-pack, a decorating pen style, or as replacement tips).

Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in women's sizes XXS/XS–4XL/5XL and in a three-pack). 

Promising review: "I am actually excited for my weekday breakfast now. These homemade McMuffins are so good! My favorite version uses sliced tomatoes, Swiss cheese, and precooked bacon (from Costco). So many options, so easy! My kindergartner and my teenager both love it. I may have to buy another one for our family. It's also easy to clean with a quick wipe-down." —Joolie

Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I bought this in hopes to make egg bites similar to Starbucks and I have not been disappointed. I chose this one after reading reviews on the smaller four-bite size. I have used it many times and have had excellent results each time. I followed the recipe in the booklet and used a tip from another reviewer who suggested to triple the cottage cheese amount. It’s very easy to use and clean." —April124

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in three colors). 

Promising review: "So, I bought these beautiful acrylic shelves from Amazon, and the sticky adhesive wasn't bad, it just wasn't sturdy, and one of my shelves fell. Luckily, nothing broke, but after that, I immediately ordered this tape, which I got in two days, and I installed it as soon as I got it. Beautiful!!!! Works well, very sticky, I love that it's thick because it also helped with balancing. My walls seem to not be completely straight. So with this product, I was able to stick the shelves up perfectly without them looking like they are dropping over. And on that note, they are great and amazing with the help of this company. Thank you!" —Trinity

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! 

Promising review: "Saw this thing all over TikTok and caved because my couch was looking BUSTED. This little green monster was super simple to put together out of the box, easy to wrap back up after use and the water that came after cleaning my couch was literally black... My couch is light blue so, definitely gets things CLEAN. Do it, you don't know you need it but you do." —KD Krane

Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (also available in a mini and deluxe style). 

Promising review: "AMAZING product!!!!! My daughter ate a hot bowl of soup on my wooden table and left numerous white ring marks. I tried everything to get them off and failed every time. As soon as I put the product on, it was practically brand-new again. Highly recommend this product!" —Diana V

Get a bottle from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in nine finishes).

Promising review: "Works great for my Keurig. I feel better not throwing away all those pods! Love the pod measuring scoop! The pods work great and are easy to use and clean. I just open the pod top and tap the bottom of the pod over the garbage to empty. Great value for money." —Kindle Customer 

Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.94 (available in two style and in a pack with a scoop). 

Promising review: "Recommended off TikTok and I love. I didn’t realize how many holes were in the walls until I got this product! Easy to use and good filling. Much better than a tub of spackle for small fixes." —Leigh Helsel

Get it from Amazon for $14.89 (also available as a two-pack). 

Promising review: "I have had my set of knives for over 10 years. I was looking to replace them when someone recommended trying to sharpen them. I hated sharpening the knives with the sharpener they came with. I wanted something easy. This was it! I sharpened all my knives with it and they are like they were when I first purchased them. This knife sharpener made it quick and easy. It saved me a lot of money from purchasing a new set. If your knives are dull, give this a try. You can't beat it for the price!" —M. Bell
