There's something about finding a great product that just makes you want to tell everyone about it. You get a sudden urge to tell strangers on the street about the cool new gadget you discovered, and when they don't seem like they're actually going to buy the thing you're telling them about, you get very annoyed. (Okay, maybe that's just us, but I think it's a pretty universal feeling.) We love finding a good item online, especially one that makes us feel like we've struck gold and saved money at the same time.
This list contains all of the stuff we couldn't live our lives without - for less than $30 an item.

These Turkish Towels Are So Much Better
About two years ago we tried out some Turkish towels from Amazon, and we haven't looked back.

The Chom Chom Roller Is One of My Favorite Cleaning Tools
I own a German Shepherd dog and have purchased more than one pet hair removal device in the past couple of years, but the Chom Chom roller is one of the few that actually works! It reminds me of a lint roller in the sense that I can roll away fuzz and pet hair off of my couch, clothing, rug, etc. quickly.
