This 10-pack of reusable grocery bags not only removes the bag fee they charge you at the grocery store, but they might just inspire you to shop at local farmers’ markets or carry your own food wherever you go.

French Press
Price: $19.84
Coffee out is a key culprit of small costs that add up quickly. If you like your coffee a certain way, too, you can have both better control over the flavor and the cost, with this Bodum 34-ounce Kenya French Press. The carafe is a glass set into a stainless steel frame. You’ll save money and savor every morning with a better cup of coffee than you can buy out. You can also use it for loose-leaf teas.
Liquipel Powertek Compact Power Bank 20W
Price: $19.88
How does a Liquipel Powertek power bank save you money, you ask? A dead phone on a summer outing can lead to impulsive decisions, like stopping somewhere to charge, only to buy a coffee you didn’t plan on or calling a ride-share service instead of waiting for a free pickup. It’s also great for teens and young adults who don’t want to have to run home to charge. It’s fast charging and good for both USB-C and USB-A ports.
