Blueland refills to prevent your cleaning supplies from running low as an excuse to skip cleaning the kitchen. Once you buy into a starter kit you’ll have the bottles to refill with the cleaning tablets and water.
Blueland
The starter kit includes three reusable cleaning bottles; one reusable foaming hand soap bottle; four tablets (fresh lemon multi-surface, unscented glass + mirror, eucalyptus mint bathroom, iris agave foaming hand soap). I have this kit and in case you’re worried about the bottles breaking, I can assure you that they won’t. I probably drop the bathroom cleaner bottle ever on my tile floor ever single time I use it. Plus lots of times on my wood kitchen floor. They’ve stood up to the falls just fine! Plus I love knowing that I can refill with a tablet instead of buying all new bottles at the local drugstore, then having to recycle those later.
Get the starter kit from Blueland for $39 (also available on a subscription model for $35 every one, two, three or four months; check out refill options).

Death Wish Coffee (yep, that’s the name!) anyone who loudly and proudly talks about how they can never get enough coffee will be intrigued by and adore. Caffeine on a consistent basis is always a good thing.
Amazon
Your caffeine content will still depend on how you brew, but if you use these beautiful beans you’ll get about 660 milligrams per 12 fluid-ounces. Just listen to the Dethklok coffee jingle while you brew up this stuff. Trust me.
Promising review: “OK folks, words of warning….if you have heart conditions, ration out your coffee. I’m serious; heed my warning or you could end up cleaning your entire house, doing all your yard work, making love to your partner, waxing your car, building a garage, or singlehandedly raising the Titanic on your own; all in the first hour after drinking this wonderful coffee. You have been warned!” —ITsTheXFactor

An “ultra coffee” concentrate in case you’d rather just add water (and milk, if you take it that way) for a quick, delicious caffeinated that is waaaay effective.
Elizabeth Lilly / BuzzFeed
This stuff is super new to the market and is 20x more concentrated than regular coffee. So if you always have to go for a second or third cup in the morning then you could use this stuff. I’m currently working my way through a bottle of this magic stuff and it’s sooo tasty. It’s made of *just* organic coffee and water. I drink my coffee black and can vouch that the FLAVOR of this is fantastic.
Get a bottle from Jot for $24 (enough for one cup a coffee a day for two weeks; also available in other quantities and on a subscription model for a discount).

Shudder – it’ll keep you all full up if you thrive on horror, sci-fi, thrillers, and more… especially outside of the month of October.
Shudder
Say it with me: Horror on Netflix sucks! After much hemming and hawing about “Do I need another streaming service?!” I finally got it. Now I’m hooked! I’m a huge horror fan and seek it out year-round. So, TBH, I’m shocked I waited this long! It has lots of exclusive movies (like Color Out of Space with Nic Cage Shudder original ) and TV shows (like Channel Zero, which you’ve likely heard about), along with stuff you need in your life, such as the 1980 horror classic The Changeling (which is very good, I just watched it for the first time!) and Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer (truly disturbing, I can’t get it out of my head). Anyway, if this at all sounds appealing, you should definitely sign up for it!

And leakproof puppy training pads that’ll really help with that pup Santa brought the kids. Your floors will thank you.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have tried so many pet pads for my three small elderly dogs, I’ve tried them all from Amazon and from the pet stores. These are heavy duty, they do not leak through unless they miss the pad and now I use underneath the Kluein washable pads that I also bought on Amazon. These do not leave a bad smell behind and if they miss the pet pad a little the glue in washable pad catches it. saves me from washing my floors hourly. being in a high rise this is a great solution. Not having to use paper towels and cleaners hourly. This will save money in the long run.” —Amazon Customer

Nutpods dairy-free creamer made from almond and coconut can give your coffee a smooth taste without messing with your stomach. Plus, some reviewers say it makes your coffee a bit sweeter, so you could even skip other additions! No more running out the store (meaning, running by the coffee shop) bc you’re out of creamer!
Amazon
The pack comes with original, hazelnut, and French vanilla flavors. Nutpods are free of carrageenan, dairy, soy, and added sugar, and are certified vegan, kosher, gluten-free, Whole30 compliant, and non-GMO.
Promising review: “I was dismayed when my doctor insisted that I go sugar- and dairy-free as I love coffee but cannot drink it without creamer. I searched and searched for a dairy-free alternative but only found the soy, almond and coconut milk options. YUCK! By chance I came across Nutpods and decided to give it a try. I love this product! It is the creamy texture I want and the flavor I crave. Definite home run, and I vow to never run out.” —A. Anson

An antiperspirant hand lotion that’ll help stop hand sweat — whether you’ve been diagnosed with hyperhidrosis or not.
Promising review: “I used this product on my 10-year-old son. He sweats A LOT on his hands. He would tell me that he was embarrassed at school and he had problems making friends. My son told me he had never shook a hand outside of mine ever before in his life….. it broke me. As a father, I knew I had to fix this. I set an appointment up with his doctor and got nowhere. The doctor said it’s normal and should go away in the coming years. I asked about surgery and they said it would be around $10,000, so I started saving. Couple weeks went by and I came across this product I asked my son if he was OK with trying it and he desperately said yes. We put it on and his hands are completely dry now. When it worked, he started practicing shaking hands and high fives with his brother. It’s been two weeks now and it is working AMAZING.” —HECTOR LORENZO

Spotify Premium that, like for me, will probably be the best $9.99 you spend every month. Especially now that there are a ton of podcasts on there!
Spotify / Giphy / Via giphy.com
I’ve been a Spotify Premium subscriber for YEARS. OK so what did it for me before is that um, I guess whatever songs I played targeted me for constant condom ads while playing Spotify at my work computer. So, uh, awkward. (I’m sure there are ads for lots of other products on there now, though.) If I wasn’t already a subscriber, I like would have become one in 2020 when my beloved Last Podcast on the Left became exclusive to the platform. I love making playlists, listen to the Made For You daily playlist suggestions, and TBH, have found some great artists I love thanks to Spotify! Plus I often download albums or playlists to my phone that I can play without internet service, which comes in handy on a 12-hour roadtrip or when you’re commuting on the NYC subway. Honestly, I can never go back now. I might even cut out stuff like my *good* $22 liquid eyeliner for a drugstore one just to keep my Spotify premium subscription. Let’s hope I never have to find out if I’m a liar in that regard.
Get it from Spotify for $9.99/month.

A mouthwash that’ll target sulfur-producing bacteria in case you’ve tried just about everything else to annihilate that funk.
Promising review: “Why didn’t I find it before? It’s very embarrassing to admit, but I had very stinky breath. It did smell like s..t and I tried many products that didn’t work. Just follow instructions and ‘deep throat’ gargle for 30 seconds or so for best results. I can say that my breath has improved by 50%, which is a huge huge difference. Morning breath is not as bad. I can talk to people with confidence and that all it counts. Thank you Amazon!!!” —Shopper5
