These Drain Snakes Will Save You Hundreds in Call Out Fees

via Amazon

Had I known about these plastic drain snakes before our last sink clog, I would have saved literally hundreds of dollars on plumber fees. Since it costs at least $100 to get a guy to show up in the first place, do yourself a favor and grab this pack of three drain snakes for under $10. They're super easy to use, just shove one down the drain, twist it around, and pull up the grossest slimy mass of hair and gunk - so nasty but so satisfying.

This Lower Back Stretcher Saved My Back

via Amazon

My back was so sore during my pregnancy that I was miserable throughout the entirety of my third trimester.

These Slide-Out Baskets Make the Most of Cabinet Space

via Amazon

I've seen a lot of plastic shelves designed for cabinets, but I'm excited about the possibilities of these Slide-Out Baskets. The design makes it easier to see and access the contents, and customers report that they are easy to assemble. I've definitely tried using baskets before, but I end up frustrated having to rummage around with half my body in the cabinet. The slide out feature on these bad boys is a life saver.

The Best Phone Mount for the Dashboard

via Amazon

At this point in history it's basically a necessity to have a way to display your phone while driving. How else are you going to know where you're going?

It's also compatible with nearly any type of phone — no matter whether you use an Android or iPhone.

This Cutlery Organizer Will Help You Make Optimize Drawer Space

via Amazon

I have a fairly small kitchen–which includes small drawers. Last year I spent months figuring out ways to organize my kitchen and maximize the space. One of my favorite finds was this cutlery organizer. Its unique design creates more space in your drawer so you can fit more. One Amazon user said, "My drawer was a mess despite having a generic cutlery holder with ample space–it just took up too much room. This tidy little organizer not only fit all my many many cutlery, but it freed up half my drawer space so that I could fit all of my kitchen utensils that I had in a large pot on the kitchen counter. Highly recommend."

It adds a soft pillow-like layer to the mattress you already have and is a worthy investment for $40 instead of taking the plunge for a whole new mattress set.

Make DIY Touch-Ups Easy Peasy With This Paint Pen

This paint pen allows me to touch up small spots without having to lug out the paint cans. Don't call the pros for this one, DIY to save money!

This car purse holder allows you to hold your purse, laptop, snacks, etc. all close by to the driver's seat, keeping you safer and all your stuff more organized.
