They're all under $10!
Even though my Amazon Prime Membership gets a regular workout, I’ve been counting down to score even more savings during the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days event—and today is the last day it’s running.
This year, I’m looking for home gadgets to make cleaning, cooking, and other everyday tasks easier. Amazon never disappoints when it comes to those genius home gadgets you never knew you needed, and this October Prime Day you’ll find things like space-saving collapsible funnels, travel atomizers to help you stay under TSA’s 100-milliliter liquids limit, and even the slimy yet effective cleaning gel for your car. The best part? Every single one of the items I’ve added to my cart is under $10.
Feel free to shop to your heart’s content, but here are the seven products that will be arriving on my doorstep soon.
Cleaning out the lint filter after every dryer load is a good habit, but it still doesn’t get all the lint out. To avoid a potential fire hazard at home—seriously, the stats are scary—you’ve got to do a deep clean from time to time. This nifty hose attaches to most vacuums and reaches deep to remove lint build-up to keep your dryer working at its best.
KongNai Kitchen Funnel Set
$8
$6
Funnels are handy tools in the kitchen, but their unique shape makes them difficult to store, especially if you’re already tight on space. Problem solved with this set of four heat-resistant silicone funnels that collapse for easy, stackable storage. They range in size from mini to large, plus they’re dishwasher-safe for simple cleanup.
Obscyon Mini Refillable Perfume Spray Bottles
$10
$6
Traveling light often means leaving creature comforts at home, like your favorite fragrance. But you can now take scents wherever you roam, thanks to these tiny refillable atomizer spray bottles. Fill it up with a few pumps of perfume or cologne, and you’re good to go.
Zulay Comfort Grip Garlic Press
$10
$9
Pro organizers will push you to declutter any single-purpose kitchen gadget, and that’s normally sound advice. But a garlic press is a single-purpose tool that I use all the time, so I’m going to keep it! I love how it makes quick work of garlic cloves, plus it’s dishwasher-safe. If you love the scent of garlic on your fingers, then feel free to chop away, but I’ll be using this tool instead.
Pulidiki Car Cleaning Gel Universal Detailing Kit
$9
$6
This thing might look like some slimy alien life form, but it comes in peace with a single mission: to clean out those hard-to-reach places in your car. While a brush will likely just spread around dust, dirt, and crumbs, this cleaning gel actually sticks to the gunk in your car and can easily move through tight crevices and vents. You can even (carefully) slather this on tech devices like your computer keyboard. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it—this is one weird hack that really works, and now it’s on sale.
KitchenAid All Purpose Kitchen Shears
$12
$9
Amazon is a treasure trove of gadgets from lots of new-to-me brands. So when something pops up on sale from a brand I already know and love like KitchenAid, I’m quickly ready to add to cart. A good set of kitchen shears is handy for everything, including cutting herbs and slicing open bags of chips. These aren’t dishwasher safe, which you’ll want to keep in mind if you use shears to trim the fat on poultry, for example. But they are inexpensive enough to buy a second pair with different color handles so you can have a designated scissor for the task at hand.
Matscover Pan Scraper
$65
$6
When you’ve set your pots and pans to soak in the sink for hours and there’s still a bunch of crud at the bottom, these ergonomically designed pan scrapers save the day. They’re made from food-grade, BPA-free plastic that can even withstand boiling water. Use them to scrape off food residue without damaging the bottoms and sides of your cookware. The edges are also sharp enough to use when slicing dough, fruits, and vegetables. Save your manicure, and use this to scrape off labels from boxes and jars, too.
