    27 Useful Things From Target That Will Save You So Much Money In The Long Run

    Some will save you time, others will save you effort, but all of these will save you some serious cash for years to come.

    1. A 6-cup Brita water filter pitcher, which claims to replace "up to 1,800 16.9 fluid-ounce single-use plastic water bottles a year." That's a whole lotta H2O!

    2. A magnetic dry-erase whiteboard that won't waste paper and makes it super easy to keep grocery lists, which should cut down on a few extra trips to the supermarket.

    3. Or a 32-page eco-friendly smart spiral reusable notebook to send all your handwritten notes to cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, OneNote, Slack, iCloud, email, and more using the Rocketbook app for iOS and Android.

    4. Reel Paper bamboo paper towels for all of those times you forgot to go to the store for regular paper towels and you're forced to use fast-food napkins and dish towels to blot out and soak up household messes.

    5. A gentle-use at-home dry cleaner kit to steam clean, deodorize, and remove wrinkles from more delicate clothes. All it takes is 20 minutes in the dryer, which costs so much less time, money, and effort than going to an actual dry cleaner.

    6. An 80-piece Johnson & Johnson first aid kit for any boo-boos that might happen while out and about or indoors. This pack has it all, and the case can be reused and refilled.

    7. A 6-quart digital window air fryer because the oven takes too long to warm up and the microwave doesn't always leave food tasting its best. Plus, that window lets you see exactly how everything is cooking.

    8. A set of three reusable canvas tote bags to take grocery shopping (or any shopping for that matter). You can never have too many multi-use bags (just remember to clean them from time to time).

    9. Clorox drain cleaners that'll clear out those clogs and hair monsters without having to employ chemicals that most of the time don't get the job done.

    10. A 12-pack of 32-ounce wide-mouth Mason jars with lids — they have countless applications. I, for one, use them to extend the lives of certain fruits and veggies. No more throwing away half a carton of strawberries after two days!

    11. An airtight, water-resistant Vaultek LifePod X Rugged Electronic Lockbox with a keypad lock to keep your valuables — like smartphones, cash, passports, or medicine — safe while you're at the beach, pool, or anywhere that allows you to concentrate on fun instead of potential theft.

    12. A pack of dishwasher-safe stainless-steel and silicone straws that'll cut down on single-use plastics and work way better than paper straws.

    13. A three-pack of Tide To Go stain remover pens for those trips where you're packing light and there's no washing machine. Kiddo clothes will most likely get stained, so you'll be glad you have this on hand for sauce and juice spills.

    21. A portable clothesline, because the sun's rays are always the most cost-effective way to dry your wet laundry. Attach it anywhere from a balcony to a tree, on an RV, or even in a hotel room.
