When it comes to the true value of the products we buy, I’ve always believed that just because something is cheap doesn’t mean it can’t be useful. And sure, there are a lot of cheap, junky products out there that you’re better off avoiding. But there are also plenty of inexpensive products on the market today that are well worth forking over a few dollars to get!

With that in mind, today I’ll be sharing 13 useful products you can buy on Amazon for under $5 (including shipping!) These products come from a wide variety of categories, including organizers, kitchen tools, beauty products, laundry helpers, and more! Regardless of whether or not you actually need these products, I hope this list inspires you to keep your eyes peeled for hidden gems when you’re faced with inexpensive products! :-)

  1. I think some of these are very clever! The cord wrapper is fabulous! And my baby silicone spatulas for small spots badly need replacing. I adore them and looked on Amazon but couldn’t find what I wanted. Thanks for those suggestions.

  2. Maybe it’s just me, but I can not rationalize paying more for s&h than the cost of the item. Be well.

  3. Hi. I have a question. That was a good tip about the makeup brushes for $5. I was wondering about the swivel container that the brushes were in.

  4. I have added that OXO electronics brush to my Amazon cart SOOO many times, but never actually bought one. This might have convinced me!

  5. I use the utensil stand as a place to set my make-up brush to dry after I wash them.

  6. Great ideas. I love the purse organizer. I basically use a tote for my work purse. It’s such a bottomless pit. Can you buy the drain covers in stores. I was showing it to my mom. My brother in law had gotten me one of those devices for removing hair only I injured myself on the sharp edge. Our drain had been slow because our tub has no drain cover. My mom of course pointed out the gob of dark hair that he pulled. I was embarrassed.

  8. Jillee……really? An egg separator? Why buy one when you have the egg shell to use? Many years ago my mom taught all of us daughters how to separate the yolk from the white using just the shell. No device needed! No shipping! No handling! And you always have the shell!

    • And save the shells to grind down in your Magic Bullet to add to your garden in a few months!

    • Hi Carole, how wonderful for you that your mom taught you how to separate an egg using the shell only! My mom never showed me how to do that. She did, however, teach me that if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all.

      • You go girl!

  9. Great ideas, Jillie! As usual! Awhile back I bought some Cleaning Compound Gel, it is like slime. It cleans and kills bacteria etc. I use it on my lap top at least once a week. I won’t mention the name or where I nought it, as there may be product issues with who you are working, If you are interested let me know Jillie and I will give you the details, I did not see it on Amazon, and I am a Prime member.

  10. If only the shipping prices were lower to the Middle East!

  11. I ordered the trash bag holder, and the part that fits over your cabinet door is SO narrow that I couldn’t use it on my cabinets. The company wouldn’t take it back and return postage was more than the object.

    • Can you use a command hook or a zip tie to jury rig it into usefulness?

      Please log in or create a free account to comment.
    • Too bad it doesn’t come with an adjustable mechanism. For different width doors, or a clamp to attach it to a table. I was just thinking it would be great to use while sewing for scraps and threads. Is the piece that goes on the door removable? if it is I know my hubby could think of a way to rig it.

  12. Can you please tell us where you got the silver cord holder in the last photo?

    • I have a plastic tool that is shaped to fit the jar to get the last of the mayo out but don’t remember where I got it. I have had it for a long time.
