4. Less than $10: These handy drain snakes that shoppers swear by
"I am honestly disturbed at the string of hair and goo that just came out of my shower drain," wrote one Amazon reviewer of this 4.4-star rated Green Gobbler hair grabber drain tool pack. Priced initially at $11.99, you can get this set for $7.99, so you'll be spending about $1.60 per drain snake. That's ridiculously cheap for such a popular tool. With more than 8,000 enthusiastic reviews on Amazon, this basic-yet-life-changing pick can save you potentially thousands of dollars in plumber bills by unclogging hair from drains. Each snake included is 22-inches long, which means it can go deeper than most others on the market, and some reviewers swear they're even more effective than the cult-favorite TubShroom ($12.99) that we liked for collecting hair. "Who would have thought I'd care so much about a drain cleaner/hair grabbing tool duo?! This is awesome," raved another Amazon shopper.

5. Less than $30: This ultra-affordable rice cooker
You never think you need a rice cooker until you experience life after buying one. Suddenly, all those common problems you've had with rice over the years—overcooking it, undercooking it, waiting too long to check on it and seeing the water's boiled over and created a huge mess all over your stovetop—will disappear like magic. That's because the best rice cookers take all the guesswork out of this deceptively difficult task to make the perfect spoonful possible with every batch. Right now, you can get one of our favorite affordable rice cookers, the Aroma Housewares ARC-914D 8-cup rice cooker, on sale for a substantial price cut. Initially $39.99, it falls to $29.99 at Amazon. When we tried it out, we were impressed with its performance—it made rice perfect almost every time—and features, which include built-in modes for prepping white rice, brown rice and more. As an added bonus, it's useful for steaming dumplings, too.
