15. Cheese Paper Storage
Buying a block of cheese to slice, grate, and shred yourself is the best way to enjoy cheese, but we sincerely hope you’re not eating entire blocks of cheese in one sitting. The problem with storing it is that the cheese tends to get hard, unpleasant, layers when it’s stored in the fridge. This cheese paper storage lets you properly wrap your extra cheese up so it stays just as good as the day you bought it. It’s the same stuff they use when they’re aging the cheese!
16. Wine Saver Pump

Unfortunately, it goes bad being left open, and there aren’t any good ways to store it until you want more. This wine saver pump fixes that. It reseals your favorite wine bottle, but it’s also a pump. When you want another glass, just pump away, and you’re good to go. You can enjoy fresh, delicious, wine every night without wasting any or feeling stuck drinking the whole bottle.
17. Electric Citrus Juicer
A tall glass of freshly squeezed orange juice is the best way to wake up. Fresh lemonade is a beloved summer treat. Unfortunately, both of those things require a lot of energy to make, and you don’t have the time to sit around squeezing citrus all day. This electric citrus juicer does all the hard work for you, and it ensures that every last drop of juice is used. So, you can make your own juice cheaper, faster, and without wasting anything.
18. Grocery List Notepad
One of the best ways to save money in the kitchen is to buy what you need and avoid impulse buys, but that’s hard to do without a proper grocery list.

One big problem with bottled items like condiments or soaps is that no matter what you do, it always seems like you leave a little in the bottom. Well, you paid for that small amount of product just like you did the rest of the product. This bottle emptying stand lets you store the bottle upside down and use it from that position. It lets gravity pull everything down, and you can finally use every drop of the product you paid good money for.
21. Under Sink Water Filter
Finally, we have to talk about tap water. A lot of people don’t like it because of things the city puts in it, or they just think it tastes bad. So, they buy bottled water. Bottle water is expensive when you buy it every day.
This under sink water filter hooks up to your water line and filters it as it comes out of your tap.
