Our Take
We actually use a lot of these products and they really do save us money. While you might not be interested in all of them, there’s probably a few that suit your lifestyle and would save you money.
Rebecca’s Pick: In our last 2 apartments and in our house we have always needed to regularly use clog removing products, like drano. We had to use it about once a month in our house and about twice a month in our apartments. Then we gave in and bought a TubShroom just to see what all the hype was about. I won’t lie – it is kind of gross because you obviously have to empty this thing out a lot, but it works! We bought it 7 months ago and we have only had to use drano once since then and it was this month. It has saved us A LOT of money.
Runner up: I have to say those makeup removing towels really do work. Regular washcloths never quite worked to remove makeup so I was using cotton pads and having to buy them regularly. I bought a pack of these makeup pads and haven’t looked back.
Tiago’s Pick: We have used a Brita pitcher for years – ours, which is the exact one shown above in #2, is actually about 8 years old and it’s still great. It’s as easy as replacing the filter every few months. It really does a noticeable job filtering the water. We lived in an apartment where the tap water had a slight yellow tint and didn’t taste great and the water that came out of our Brita pitcher was totally clear and tasted how water should taste. So many of our friends and family who would buy gallons of water come to our house and use our Brita and then go buy one themselves because they realize it can save them a significant amount of money.
Financial freedom begins with good habits.
