37 Weird Products On Amazon That Are So Cheap They’re Essentially Free

I wasn't kidding when I said these items are so cheap they're basically free — and the Scalpmaster shampoo brush three-pack is essentially a few coins a brush. Each one has a finger hole for easy gripping while in the shower, and because the bristles are soft, it's gentle enough even for people with scalp conditions. One Amazon reviewer with seborrheic dermatitis raves that "The brush helps massage the scalp, distribute shampoo evenly and most importantly, scrub away scales and left over shampoo. As mentioned, only after a week, the scales and red welts are gone, my hair is smoother and far less greasy." The increase in circulation might even stimulate hair growth, too.

Picking away at an orange peel and winding up with chunks of peel all over the place is needlessly messy — especially when you could just be using the CJESLNA orange peeler slicer. These slicers cut through the orange peel without damaging the fruit inside, and the ring-sized holes make them easy to hold.

You could use regular fluoride toothpaste packed with chemicals, or you could use this herbal whitening toothpaste that has pineapple and papaya enzymes to whiten your teeth naturally.

Have you ever looked at your microwave and thought "Man, I'm just DYING for some quick potato chips right now!" No?

Believe it or not, that little lightbulb shape folds up so that you can use the NYKKOLA LED wallet light bulb like an actual standing light.

And as an added bonus, all necessary batteries are included.

Picking and peeling at stubborn blackheads will only make your skin even more irritated, which is why so many people use charcoal masks like the MOCHAShop charcoal peel blackhead mask to cleanse their pores. Natural gelling agents in this mask adhere tightly to your skin to remove dirt from pores like a suction cup, while the charcoal works to minimize the appearance of pores and control oil production.

If your eyebrows are unevenly shaped like mine, yet you can't be bothered to even attempt plucking them into perfect matches, why not try this brow stamp instead? Each package comes with one left and right stamp, as well as brow powder to fill them in with — one Amazon reviewer wrote that she can never get her brows shaped nicely unless she goes to the salon, "but these certainly have helped me be a bit more accurate. Easy to use, easy to remove...for the price, I'd continually buy these."

Having onions and tomatoes roll away from you as you try to pierce their skin can be dangerous, especially if the knife is sharp — but with the Unmegii tomato holder, you can safely hold round vegetables in place while you slice. Simply insert the holder into the vegetables and then cut using a knife between the prongs: each slice will be the same width.

For just $1, you can save yourself the frustration of trying to squeeze the toothpaste tube to no avail — because the Ebest rolling toothpaste squeezer helps you get ALL the toothpaste out of the tube, all the way down to the last drop. There's even a hook so that you can hang the toothpaste your mirror via suction cup. One Amazon reviewer wrote: "I never noticed how much I'm losing without this product. Probably another two week's worth of toothpaste!"

Traditional deodorants with aluminum cause some controversy to those more inclined to natural ingredients, but the CRYSTAL mineral deodorant travel stick only has one ingredient in its formula: pure mineral salt.

Dermatologist-tested and cruelty-free, this deodorant works by creating an invisible protective barrier against odor-causing bacteria.

Made with medical-grade silicone so that they snugly fit almost any foot, these moisturizing gel heel socks help protect feet from peeling and cracking.

And because it's dishwasher-safe, you can just throw it in the silverware rack when you're done.

Made from high-quality stainless steel, the Iuhan survival pocket tool key is small enough to easily fit on your keychain or in your pocket.

While these are marketed as being meant primarily for toast since the bamboo will keep you insulated from electricity, you don't have to use the HIC Harold Import Co. bamboo toast tongs for bagels and the like — use them on the stovetop when frying food, or if you suck at using chopsticks you could definitely use these and pretend like they're not attached at the top.

"This brush is really great," one Amazon reviewer writes about the Bonlting premium foundation makeup brush, "it provides super-quick coverage and doesn't require a ton of product to spread." Each brush features a small well of shorter bristles in the center, where you can put a drop of foundation to spread evenly on your face. That way, you use less product and it won't spill everywhere.

Instead of leaving guests to rummage through your cabinets and drawers looking for a trash can, attach a garbage bag to the Ninasill garbage bag holder and hook it to the outside of a drawer for an easily found waste receptacle during parties.
