Big Vision Glasses
When you’re having trouble reading the fine print, your standard options are heading to the eye doctor or living in a blurry world. These options might not appeal to you, and spending hundreds of dollars for an eye exam and new lenses and frames might be out of the question. It’s easy to overspend on glasses or contacts, but you shouldn’t have to.
Stop stressing and try a pair of Big Vision Glasses for $8.99. Offering hands-free and 160% magnification, this optical wonder can be worn alone or with prescription glasses, contact lenses and sunglasses. No eye exam or prescription is needed, so you can have magnified vision for less than $10.
Wipe New
You want to keep your vehicle sparkling, but professional detailing costs add up. Instead, roll up your sleeves and do quality car work yourself with a $13.99 Wipe New kit. Along with the cleaning solution, you’ll receive two applicator cloths, detail brush, headlight prep pad, headlight applicator cloth and gloves.
You can apply Wipe New to your dashboard, interior plastic, bumpers, decorative panels or any other rubber or vinyl items to help renew and protect them. The kit certainly costs less than a professional cleaning, and with more than 3 million Wipe New products sold in the first three years after its launch, it’s safe to say this product was a success.
BeActive Brace
Suffering from lower back pain puts a strain on your entire life, but the BeActive Brace — $6.78 through Amazon — aims to offer relief. Designed to ease tension on the sciatic nerve, this brace can reduce pain in the user’s lower back, buttocks and legs. Plus, it’s designed to be easy to hide under clothing and comfortable to sleep in.
Lower back pain can be difficult to treat, which can result in a pile of medical bills for an unresolved condition. If you want to reduce your medical and healthcare costs, the BeActive Brace might be an affordable alternative that can make you feel better.
Flex Seal
If you’re contending with minor cracks and holes in your home but aren’t handy, consider giving Flex Seal a try for $9.94. One can treats 2 to 12 square feet. No prepping is required for Flex Seal, which works on both wet and dry surfaces. An easy way to fix your home yourself, use it everywhere from your roof and PVC pipes to gutters and ductwork.
Before paying a large sum of money for professional repairs, you might want to try this. For best results, some items require multiple coats, and be sure to leave plenty of time to cure before using it a second time, according to Consumer Reports.
DashCam Pro
It’s frustrating to share the road with reckless drivers. DashCam Pro offers peace of mind by recording your entire trip, and using it could save you money in the future. This is an easy way to show you’re not at fault if you get into an accident — you would have evidence to show in court and your car insurance shouldn’t take a hit.
For $18.99, a DashCam Pro Camera comes with a car charger, adjustable suction mount and USB sync/charging cable. The system has many features, including full HD 120-degree wide-angle video, a time and date stamp, and the ability to record both audio and video.
Furniture Feet
Furniture Feet can help to protect your beautiful floors and furniture from scratches. Made with woven fiber pads, these booties slide onto the legs of stools, tables and chairs, providing a nonabrasive surface that glides across your floors.
Each $9.94 pack of Furniture Feet contains eight large sleeves, made to last up to five times longer than felt pads. Safeguarding your floors can add years to their lifespan, so you won’t have to shell out thousands of dollars for untimely repairs or replacements.
5 Second Fix
If you’ve ever tried to glue a broken wood, metal, plastic or glass item back together without success, you might want to try 5 Second Fix. It’s a liquid-plastic welding tool that lets you fix, fill, repair and seal items, presumably in five seconds or less.
You can position pieces until you have them just right, and once the welding tool cures the clear adhesive, it’s flexible, sandable and paintable. The tool costs $9.94, but you can save hundreds of dollars if you’re able to repair items instead of having to replace them.
TV Free-Way
Watching TV is a popular way to relax, but network providers keep causing stress by raising monthly premiums. The average household spends $109.60 per month on television service, according to a 2019 Leichtman Research Group survey. If you want to watch network shows without an exorbitant bill, the TV Free-Way might be a compelling “As Seen on TV” item to try.
Offered for a one-time fee of $14.99, this digital antenna delivers network programming in a clear HD picture, without any contracts or hidden costs. You won’t get premium channels, but this can be a cost-effective way to enjoy network television.
Furniture Fix
Old, sagging furniture looks terrible and is uncomfortable to sit on, but replacing it can be expensive. Furniture Fix bills itself as an affordable alternative, allowing you to bring new life to your favorite old pieces.
No tools are needed; you just place Furniture Fix panels under drooping cushions for added support. The panels interlock to provide a boost and can be used on furniture of any size. Designed to withstand heavy use, each $14.95 Furniture Fix kit comes with six panels.

DrainWig
Loads of lustrous hair looks great on your head, but it doesn’t fare as well in your shower drain.

Shimmy the chain down the drain, and let it catch hair in its soft rubber whiskers.
Replace your DrainWig every two to four months by pulling it out and throwing it away. This is a safe and easy way to keep the water in your pipes flowing freely without the use of a plumber or harmful chemicals.
