If You Love A Good Bargain, These 39 Products Are Under $10 On Amazon
I buy a lot of products on Amazon. Most of the time, the online retailer has fairly reasonable prices, but it's always welcome when you can find that shopping sweet spot — good products that are also affordable. Considering I'm always somewhere between a dwindling checking account close to payday and the luxury of ordering too much food delivery once that paycheck hits, I'd like to keep things as cheap as possible when I can. Luckily, finding awesome products on Amazon for less than $10 that are actually high-quality is pretty easy.
Let's see what we have this time around: a nourishing eyelash serum for $6 that actually works, fashionable braided bracelets that repel mosquitoes up to six weeks, and even a non-stick sushi knife that's aerated to reduce friction while cutting. Think of it like this: if your thought process when it comes to buying quality Amazon products at low prices is anything like mine ("Oh wow that's cheaper than I thought, let's get MORE"), then at least this way you're getting six items for $60 that you might actually use — as opposed to one item for $60 that's currently sitting in the back of your closet still wrapped in its original packaging.
Besides, it's only $10 — why not try out something new?
2. The Sheet Masks That Are Formulated Around 12 Natural Ingredients
LABUTE Revive Sheet Masks, $9 (12 Pack), Amazon
"These are great sheet masks and you get a ton for a great price," one Amazon reviewer gushes about the LABUTE revive sheet masks, "I have given these masks out as gifts and everyone finds them to be moisturizing and does what each mask says it will." Each order comes with 12 masks, and each mask is formulated around a different natural ingredient — think skin powerhouses like avocado, olive, shea butter, black pearl, and honey. And because they're made with only gentle ingredients, these sheet masks are also safe for sensitive skin.
3. The Insole That Lets You Wear Your Shoes Without Socks
Pedag Washable Cotton Insole, $8, Amazon
Wearing flip flops in the summer is great because you don't need socks, but what happens when it's 80 degrees outside and you're stuck with sweaty feet in closed-toe shoes? These Pedag washable cotton insoles not only let you wear shoes without socks, but the grooved and perforated design helps promote air circulation to keep both your feet and shoes fresh. When it's time to wash them, just use mild soap and lay them flat to dry.
4. A Silicone Spatula Set That's Stain- And Odor-Resistant
iHomeGarden Silicone Spatula Set, $8 (Set of 3), Amazon
Scratching up your pots and pans with metal utensils only makes sense if you're looking for an excuse to buy a new set, but with these silicone spatulas it's practically impossible to scratch anything. Each spatula is stain- and odor-resistant, and will not discolor, warp, melt, or chip — use them to cook eggs, pancakes, or even scrape cake batter out of a bowl. And of course, because no one likes washing dishes, they are also dishwasher-safe.
5. The Therapy Wrap That Uses Hot And Cold Compression To Alleviate Pain
NatraCure Cold/Hot Therapy Wrap, $10, Amazon
Perfect for use at home or when you're out and about, the NatraCure cold/hot therapy wrap can be chilled or heated — depending on what you're feeling that day. Each therapy wrap compresses tight on your body to help alleviate swelling and inflammation while increasing circulation, and if you suffer from plantar fasciitis, it helps to lift the fascia tissue to relieve arch and heel pain.
6. A Wine Bottle Foil Cutter That Won't Break With Age
Wine Ziz Wine Bottle Foil Cutter, $6 (2 Pack), Amazon
Sometimes you're just dying for an excuse to spend money, and these wine bottle foil cutters are a great way to scratch that itch without breaking the bank. Would a regular knife suffice just as well? Yes, but then you wouldn't be spending $6 — plus as these foil cutters get older, the dual blade design won't break as easily as competing products with four-blade designs. Think of these as a stocking stuffer, or maybe even a housewarming gift for a friend hoping to deck out their home bar.
7. The Container That Keeps You Organized While Traveling
Humangear GoTubbs, $8 (3 Pack), Amazon
"These things have completely changed my travel game," one Amazon reviewer raves about the Humangear GoTubbs, "I went on a month-long trip to Europe and used two of these for pills and the third for a face cream — I highly recommend them for storing just about anything." Each tub closes and opens with just one hand which makes them easy to use, and the transparent top means you can see what's inside without having to open it.
8. A Drawer Organizer That Makes Sorting Your Clothes Easy
KLOUD City Drawer Organizer, $8, Amazon
It only takes about a week before my neat and tidy drawers turn into a mess of clothing, but with this drawer organizer you can easily sort which shirts go where and be sure that they'll stay put. Each organizer has a white honeycomb structure that's easy to install and interlocks within seconds. Use it for socks, shirts, underwear, and more — one reviewer writes that she even used it to organizer a box of Disney figurines.
9. The Dustpan Set That Can Be Used To Groom Pets
Mr. Siga Bristle Brush/Scrubber With Dustpan, $10, Amazon
Whereas most dustpan sets are only suitable for sweeping up around the house, this cleaning set is multi-purpose and can double as a brush for grooming your pets. Soft brush fibers remove pet hair, while the scrubber side works to remove dirt and debris from your home. The squeegee can work on glass or mirrors, and cleaning the bristles is also incredibly easy.
10. A Restoring Foot Balm That Softens Callused And Chapped Feet
The Naked Bee Restoration Foot Balm, $10, Amazon
If you have dry, cracked feet, you need this restoring foot balm. Not only does it use neem and meadowfoam oil to treat dry feet and help itself get absorbed quickly into skin, but the orange blossom honey scent helps deodorize as well. And even though it's an intensive care formula, this balm is still completely free of any parabens and uses no mineral oils.
11. The Ice Cube Tray That Makes Massive Long-Lasting Ice Cubes
Cocktail Cubes Silicone King Cube Tray, $8, Amazon
You could use a bunch of small ice cubes and watch as they quickly melt and dilute your drink, or you could use the Cocktail Cubes silicone king cube tray instead. Each cube measures in at 2-inches on each side, and the unique mold design makes for quick freezing so you're not stuck sitting around waiting for ice. Once they're done, pop 'em in your drink and see how long they take to melt — typically, it's two hours or more!
12. A Clip-On Reading Lamp That Works Via Touch Control
Aglaia Clip-On Reading Light, $9, Amazon
It doesn't matter how old you get or how many lamps you've turned on in life — touching the base of a lamp and seeing it turn on will never not be fun. Simply tap the back of this clip-on reading light to turn it on, then tap it again to turn it off, then repeat a few more times just because you're amused. The clip is not only able to mount to practically any table, headboard or desk, but it's even powered by USB in order to make it as portable as possible.
13. A Knife With An Aerated Design That Reduces Sticking And Creates Less Friction
Kitchen + Home Sushi Knife, $9, Amazon
For $9 you could get a high-quality surgical stainless steel knife, or you could keep using your current set of knives that struggle to even slice a tomato. The Kitchen + Home sushi knife features an aerated design so there's less friction — which makes slicing food easier — and the entire metal blade is coated in food-grade non-stick coating. Great for sushi, chicken, vegetables, and more, this knife is also easy to rock back and forth, which makes mincing and chopping herbs a breeze.
14. The Spray That Adds Shine And Vitality Without Being Oily
Heritage Products Rosewater Spray, $9, Amazon
"I spray my face with it twice daily, morning and night," one Amazon reviewer writes about the Heritage Products rosewater spray, "it is very hydrating and leaves my skin with a beautiful glow.

Each bottle of rosewater contains zero alcohol, parabens, or sulfates, and can be combined with facial masks or creams to add a boost of moisture to your skin.
15. An Ice Roller That Releases Tension And Shrinks Your Pores
PRETTY SEE Ice Roller, $8, Amazon

With this ice roller, you can massage your eyes and temples, which also help to release any tension or stress from your day while reducing puffiness. Small enough that you can carry it with you for convenient use, this ice roller can also be used to minimize the appearance of your pores after wearing a cleansing face mask.
16. The Makeup Bag With Two Separate Compartments For Easy Organizing
MONSTINA Double-Layer Makeup Bag, $10, Amazon
You can keep palettes and foundations on the bottom, while the top of the MONSTINA double-layer makeup bag can hold all your makeup tools. Each bag is made out of high-quality nylon — making it extremely easy to clean if anything happens to drip or spill onto it — and there's even extra mesh pockets and compartments for storing smaller items.
17. A Body Spray Lotion That Uses Coconut Oil To Lock In Hydration
Yes To Coconut Spray Body Lotion, $8, Amazon
"I have really dry skin and with the northeast winter coming on it will get worse," one Amazon reviewer writes about this spray body lotion. "This makes my skin so SOFT and hydrated! I love the smell and it's totally grease-less...I even rub a little bit through my hair!" It uses coconut and sunflower oils to help penetrate the skin and lock in moisture, and leaves behind no greasy residue. Of course, the unique spray-on aspect of this product makes it incredibly innovative, too.
18. The Spiralizer That Makes Beautiful Citrus Garnishes For Your Dishes
Chef'n Citrus Spiralizer, $7, Amazon
If you're looking for a way to impress friends and family alike with your food plating abilities, search no further than the Chef'n citrus spiralizer. Are lemon and lime peels edible? No, but this is only $7 and the look of confusion on your family's face when you say you spiralized everything perfectly by hand will be priceless.

Each tin is formulated with organic essential oils, and the delightful tropical scent is great for the summer, too.
20. The Brush Made With 100 Percent Natural Boar Bristles
Minalo Boar Bristle Brush, $9, Amazon
You can keep raking out the tangles in your hair with potentially damaging plastic bristles, or you can drop $9 on this boar bristle brush. Whereas plastic bristles mostly just detangle (and can rip out hair), the boar bristles on this brush help spread your scalp's natural oils down each strand, which helps to reduce frizz. And because it's spreading those oils around, you're in turn preventing them from building up on your roots.
21. A Stainless Steel Vegetable Peeler With A Classic Retro Look
Honsen Vegetable Peeler, $9, Amazon
It's made from stainless steel and it peels vegetables — what more do you want to know about the Honsen vegetable peeler aside from that it's got a super-cute retro look to it? Well, it's also designed with an ergonomic shape, and the non-slip rubber handle makes it easy to grip while peeling. There's also two scraping blades and a built-in potato-eye remover, too.
22. The Ceramic Flat Iron That's Small Enough To Be Taken Almost Anywhere
Bundle Monster Portable Ceramic Flat Iron, $8, Amazon

Able to heat up automatically to 220 degrees, this flat iron is also great for anyone with short hair, or for anyone who finds themselves needing to touch up a few crimped spots here and there throughout the day.
23. A Makeup Sponge Perfect For Beginners And Professionals Alike
Esarora Makeup Sponges, $9 (Set of 6), Amazon
Whereas most makeup sponge packs will just give you a bunch of blenders all in the same shape with varying colors, this pack of makeup sponges comes with two that have edges so you can achieve straight lines. "The ones with a straight edge help with the creases on your nose which is something I struggle with," one Amazon reviewer writes. "I recommended these to my friends who fell in love with them."
24. The Underarm Deodorant Wipes That Remove Excess Perspiration
Pacifica Underarm Deodorant Wipes, $9, Amazon
Even though they're marketed as underarm wipes, the Pacifica underarm deodorant wipes can be used anywhere on your body. Take them with you when you're camping and don't have access to a shower, or keep them with you during the day in case you find yourself with some unwanted sweat you'd like to wipe away. Each wipe is formulated with natural ingredients like coconut milk and Shea butter to naturally deodorize — and it's even 100 percent vegan.
25. A Bluetooth Speaker That Can Connect To The Radio
Zosam Portable Bluetooth Speaker, $10, Amazon

26. The Cable Cord Holders That Work In More Ways Than One

27. A Universal Tablet And Phone Stand Made From Solid Aluminum
Honsky Universal Desktop Tablet And Phone Stand, $9, Amazon
Stacking a bunch of random books to try to get your phone or tablet balancing on a tabletop is a waste of time when you know it'll start slipping eventually — but with this universal desktop tablet and phone stand, you can watch movies and television on your phone without having to constantly readjust everything. Each stand is made from solid, durable aluminum, and in the event it doesn't do what it's supposed to do, and works in both landscape and portrait mode.
28. The Bracelet That Repels Mosquitoes For Up To Six Weeks
Kinven Mosquito Repellent Bracelets, $9 (4 Pack), Amazon

30. The Lip Mask That Melts Away Dead Skin Cells While You Sleep
CARENEL Lip Mask, $10 (3 Pack), Amazon
Dry, cracked lips with loose skin can get painful and be difficult to fix, so instead of picking at your lips when no one is looking, use this moisturizing lip mask.

31. A Milk Frother That's Portable For Coffee Lovers
MatchaDNA Electric Milk Frother, $7, Amazon
At less than 10 inches tall, the MatchaDNA electric milk frother is a space saver for your kitchen.

34. A Light That Illuminates The Inside Of Your Cooler When Opened
Coghlan's Cooler Light, $7, Amazon
Ever open up a cooler at night just to be left reaching around blind in the dark for a drink? Maybe you've had to use a toolbox or tackle box in the dark without a readily available flashlight — either way, this cooler light attaches to the inside of your toolbox or cooler via the included adhesive tape, and will turn on when the lid opens.

35. The Packing Cubes That Can Be Used To Organize Almost Anything
