20 Useful AF Products On Amazon For Under $1

You can, and it’s on the internet — there are lots of Amazon products for less than a dollar that make great staples in your everyday routine.

Plus, you can get a funny looking but surprisingly awesome makeup sponge brush for an additional Washington. These products take care of most of your makeup needs for less than an order of fries.
But Amazon’s super affordable products don’t end with beauty deals. There are items to make your kitchen more efficient, like a set of infusers so you can enjoy loose-leaf tea, or a waterproof lunch bag that looks like a cute purse.
