Save Time, Money and Space in Over 80 Ways

If you're looking for handy gadgets, tools and various items that can save you time, money or space (or all three!) this list of more than 80 top products is just what you need. Everyone's got saving money on their minds these days. Some of us are always looking to save some cash, but in the current economic times now more than ever frugality is important. Saving space is important if you have limited space for those money-saving gadgets, and can help you have a more streamlined and uncluttered décor. And saving time is something we should all be concerned with because time, unlike space and money, is something you can't get back once it's gone.

So whether you're willing to spend a little more money to save some time, whether you need a great money-saving gadget or whether you're just looking for that perfect item that will fit in that hard-to-fit spot, peruse the following items and making your shopping list.

Entertainment Electronics:

Amazon Kindle - It's hard to imagine a single electronic device that can save you more space than an Amazon Kindle. The Kindle is about the size of a book, but it's only about 1/3 of an inch thick. And in that teensy tiny space you can carry about 1,500 books with you. Without the Kindle, you couldn't fit a paperback in that same space. The Kindle is Amazon's electronic book reader that lets you download books, magazines, newspapers and a variety of printed media at discount prices, so you save money, too. The Kindle is a small investment, but considering that you can download brand-new hardback bestsellers for $9.99 instead of the $25+ you'd buy them for now, it pays for itself quickly. And it's so convenient it's hard not to love. You can subscribe to dozens of newspapers, and subscribe to some magazines for only $1.50 each per month, and have them all delivered wirelessly to your Kindle. It's a green solution that saves paper, postage and space. And it reads as clearly and as comfortably as that dead-tree book you're packing around. You'll save time, too. Never again agonize over which book to take with you when traveling or waiting for appointments. Carry them all in 1/3 of an inch of space.

Asus Eee PC- Do you want to save money and space while you're on the go, but you want to be able to get online, too? The Eee PC, the first "Netbook" that was available and still one of the best, may be your solution. You can get some models for less than $300. Some models have batteries that last 10 hours, not the 2 your bulky laptop can manage. And the whole thing weighs only a few pounds and takes up a minimal amount of space in your bag. You can get online and do just about everything you'd do online with your laptop. Later versions have slightly bigger screens and keyboards to make them even more convenient. Never lug around that heavy laptop again or pay $2000 for an ultralight, when you can invest just a few hundred in a portable, space-saving Eee PC.

Panasonic DMP-BD60 Blu-ray Disc Player - Blu-Ray disc players offer up crisp and clear playback that regular DVD players can't match. But a Blu-Ray player can play your other DVDs. And this one is a space saver too, because not only can you watch all your regular and Blu-Ray DVDs, you can use it to wirelessly watch movies from Amazon On-Demand. Save money and time by not driving to the DVD rental store. Connect to the Internet and enjoy all the extras and special features that are built-in, and rent movies right through Amazon for less.

LG BD 370 Network Blu-ray Disc Player- Do you already have a Netflix account, so you get DVDs conveniently through the mail and stream them onto your computer? Now this great Blu-Ray DVD player (that plays regular DVDs, too) connects to the Internet and lets you stream those instant-play Netflix movies right onto your TV. There's no need to buy the separate box to enjoy this free Netflix add-on with this Blu-Ray player. You can also watch YouTube videos and stream from a couple of other movie sites. It takes up a small amount of space on your entertainment center and lets you do so many fun things cheaply and efficiently.

Nintendo Wii - This game system is more budget-priced than others, doesn't take up much room and can save you money by providing hours of entertainment in your own home. With wireless Internet in your home you can get online and enjoy contests and a variety of channels through the Wii to shop, chat and discover all sorts of things. Learn with educational programs, play games and get some exercise with the Wii's unique motion sensor technology that lets you get up to do active things like fish, box, play tennis and golf, jog and do a variety of activities. Your Wii can even save you more money by replacing that monthly gym fee if you use it right with great accessories like a Wii Fit Board and programs that challenge you to reach new levels of fitness. It's even easy for small kids to use to get active and have fun.

Plasma TV Mount - If you have a flat-screen TV or are thinking about getting one, do yourself a favor and purchase a quality plasma/flat-screen TV mount so you can mount the TV on the wall. Gone are the days of huge, square, console televisions that take up as much floor space as a club chair. Put your TV on the wall and save tons of space while adding a stylish look to your entertainment area.

Kitchen Savers:

Foodsaver Vacuum Food Sealer - This handy device is small so it doesn't take up much space. It's a small investment, but you'll more than make up for the cost in the amount of money you'll save over time. With the special roll bags you purchase for the Foodsaver, you can easily store almost any type of food item in a perfectly vacuum sealed package in just seconds. You can seal delicate foods with its Crush-Free setting, or you can vacuum seal something so tightly the pressure could crunch an aluminum can, your choice. Vacuum sealing is perfect for frozen foods because the lack of air keeps freezer-burn away. Never bother with time-consuming canning again. Vacuum seal your produce and freeze it, and you'll have even fresher food all year long. You can also use the Foodsaver to seal things like important documents and keepsakes. With a variety of uses and tons of saved cash thanks to your leftovers and stored foods lasting several times longer, the Foodsaver will save you money and time, making it well worth the modest cost.

Progressive International Lettuce Keeper - If you just want to keep your lettuce fresh, this lettuce keeper is the ideal kitchen gadget. The design pulls moisture away from the lettuce to the bottom of the keeper. And the vents allow moisture and the gases produced by the combination of the lettuce reacting to the air to escape. These gases, when trapped in with produce, help contribute to it turning brown, limp and slimy all too quickly. But put your lettuce in the Progressive International Lettuce Keeper and you'll have no more excuses to skip that salad. You'll save money because you'll be able to eat all your lettuce instead of throwing half of it away and buying more (or eating expensive junk food instead).

Oxo Good Grips Salad Spinner - Before you put your lettuce in your lettuce keeper, get as much moisture off it as possible to make it last even longer and help you save even more money. It's essential to wash produce like lettuce before eating it to get traces of dirt and pesticides off. But it can take a lot of time to pat the lettuce dry. And if you don't, it'll be soggy and gross in no time. Now, wash it thoroughly and give it a few spins in your Oxo salad spinner. The centrifuge action spins the moisture away and collects it in the bottom of the bowl, away from the salad. You can spin most of the excess moisture off your lettuce in no time, making it last longer and saving you both time and money.

Get Organized Fruit Holder - This fruit holder is a pretty little countertop accessory that can save you money. Fill the bottom bowl with your favorite fruits, and hang a bunch of bananas on the banana hook. No bananas? You can remove the banana hook if you don't like the look. Hanging bananas is the quickest way to keep them fresh and unbruised the longest. And by putting your fruit out where you can see it instead of out of sight in the fridge or a cupboard, everyone's more likely to eat some. That means there'll be less waste, because the fruit will get eaten instead of being discovered shriveled or leaking in the back of a crisper drawer a few weeks later. Eating more fruit instead of other junky snacks is healthier, too.

Evriholder Nana Saver - If you're really serious about saving money on those bananas, try the Evriholder Nana Saver. It's ideal for people who prefer to eat part of a banana at a time, like those eating a certain amount of banana daily for potassium, or for kids and toddlers for whom a whole banana at once is just too much. This nifty banana-look clip slips onto the cut end of a banana to keep it from browning quickly and going soft. Never eat more than you want or have to toss a mushy half-banana again.

Hutzler Tomato Saver, Hutzler Onion Keeper - Along those same grocery money saving lines, Hutzler has a couple of nifty products for storing cut produce so that it doesn't go soft or gooey right away. Their tomato saver looks like a tomato, and their onion keeper, you guessed it, looks like an onion. You might look at them and think, "why should I purchase these two little gadgets that just take up room, when I can stuff a cut tomato or a cut onion into a plastic baggy?" The answer's simple--you'll save money and aggravation. These food keepers are reusable. Wash them out and use them over and over. You won't have to buy plastic baggies or plastic wrap to use each time you use only part of a tomato or onion. And you won't have to find a gooey, unrecognizable plastic baggy of something in the back of your fridge again. You won't forget about your veggies in these attractive keepers, and the design helps them stay fresh longer.

Extra Life Produce Disks - For extending the life of all types of other produce, both fruits and vegetables, Extra Life Produce Disks are what you need. At about $4 each, these disks can help extend the life of fruits, vegetables and fresh herbs by 1 to 3 weeks. You peel the gold seal off the back of a disk and drop it in your crisper drawer or in whichever compartment you keep fresh produce, and it slowly releases the active ingredient that safely helps your food stay fresher longer. One disk lasts about 3 months, so you'll save far more than the cost of the disk in produce that you can eat instead of throw away.

Snap Capps - Snap Capps are ingenious little devices that turn cans of soda or other beverages into bottles. Snap the cap on top of the open can and drink or pour from the bottle spout, then twist the cap on just as you would a bottle and store it in the refrigerator. The next day, your carbonated beverages will still have fizz. Try storing an open can any other way and you'll end up with flat soda. Snap Capps are great for someone who wants to take a can of soda along without it splashing and sloshing out.

The Complete Kitchen Beverage Can Resealer - Want to keep that can of soda fizzy without adding a bottle cap? This can resealer does the trick every time. It's easy to put on and get off, and it keeps the carbonation in so you can put your open can in the refrigerator and enjoy a fizzy drink the next day, right from the can.

Jokari Fizz Keeper Pump Bottle Cap - For bottles of soda, the Fizz Keeper Pump Cap helps you keep the fizz in even if it takes you a few days to get through the bottle. Just put the cap securely on the bottle and pump it a few times to create an air-tight seal that preserves the fizz. It works on 1, 1.5 and 2 liter bottles, so never have to throw away a flat half-bottle of pop again with the Fizz Keeper Pump Bottle Cap.

Vacu Vin Wine Saver - Working along much the same principle as the Fizz Keeper, the Vacu Vin Wine Saver is a nifty device that you put in a wine bottle to halt the oxidation process of the wine. You'll save money by being able to enjoy the whole bottle and not throwing any wine out. Freshly opened wine is delightful, but let it sit for a few days and you'll notice a definite change in the bouquet and the flavor. Now you can preserve that bottle of wine until you're ready for another glass with the wine saver. Stopper the bottle with it and pump the air out to keep the wine fresh.

Vacu Vin Rapid Ice Cooler - This awesome time-saving product can save the day when you forgot to put the wine in the fridge or on ice. Keep this gel-filled pack in the freezer and when the need arises, slip it around the bottle of wine. It can chill the wine in up to 5 minutes and keep it cool for 3 hours. It's also great for when you want to keep a bottle of cold wine from warming up. Perfect for picnics and when you don't want to fiddle with the mess of ice. It comes in a variety of pretty designs to choose from to help keep your wine drinking elegant. There's also the Vacu Vin Champagne Cooler which does the same thing for your bubbly, and is designed to fit those specially shaped champagne bottles.

Joseph Joseph Folding Colander - Every kitchen needs at least one colander. But these are items with one purpose--rinsing food and letting it drain--that take up a lot of space. A colander that's big enough to hold whatever you want to throw in it can take up the space of a huge bowl. If you want more than one colander for convenience or you just need to save space, the Joseph Joseph Folding Colander is for you. It's a stylish looking squared colander when you need to use it, and when you don't you can fold it completely flat to store it in minimal space.

Zyliss Palm Held Pizza Slicer - Pizza wheel's are hard to use and hard to clean. You push on the handle but you have to be careful to keep the handle up while putting enough pressure with the wheel to cut a hot pizza--it's a recipe for frustration and cheese burns. But the Zyliss Palm Held Pizza Slicer eliminates all that with a perfect design. You grip the slicer firmly and press down as you push, with no handle and no worry about balancing and pressure. Just push the wheel in a natural way that standard pizza cutters miss out on. And the wheel pops out for the easiest cleaning ever. This is a real time saver both when cutting and cleaning, and it can save your wrist, too.

Progressive International Lid and Spoon Rest - Ever pick up a hot lid and don't know where to put it? You can't hold it and risk a steam burn, but if you put it down you end up with a puddle. This lid and spoon rest saves time by making cooking more convenient and clean up easier. Now when you pick up that hot pot lid, place it on the rest and the steam and condensation drips right into the holder rather than all over your stove or countertop. There's a handy spoon rest, too. No more scraping dried-on gunk off your stovetop from a poorly placed stirring spoon.

Oxo Good Grips Pastry Scraper - You've seen TV chefs use these scrapers and thought it looked too easy to be true. But it is true, and if you're not using one, you're missing out. These are palm-held which means it's more intuitive and natural feeling than using a knife. Chop with the blade, scrape the food up and dump it where it needs to be in record time. Scrape the cutting board clean free of debris with one swipe. Never struggle with scraping chopped food off with a knife again. This easy to grip pastry scraper helps you get the food exactly where you want it. Oh, and it works great for its intended purpose of scraping and splitting dough, too!

Silpat Baking Mat - Say goodbye to baking messes forever with a Silpat baking mat. These come in a variety of sizes so you can get the one you need, but you'll probably want them all once you realize how much time they save you in the kitchen. They save you money too, if you've been lining baking pans with expensive parchment paper. These Silpat mats are non-stick silicone that's safe at temperatures up to about 480 degrees, so line your pans for those cookies and never have to scrub those baked on circles again. Never butter a cookie sheet again, either. Use them for savory foods too, and even for kneading dough without using much flour--it won't stick.

Cleaning and Organization Savers:

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - If you haven't discovered this amazing tool, you must try it. You can use an inexpensive Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to save time and your back when trying to clean those hard water stains, crayon-marked walls, scuffs, stains and so much more. Just wet the white sponge-like material and rub, and things you thought would never come off disappear before your eyes. You'll save cleaning time and money on all those different cleaners. You might even save tons of money when that wall comes clean and you don't have to buy new paint or paper.

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Mop - This mop is specially made from the same material in a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. You won't ever have to scrub your floor again to get it clean and bright. The material drops down into grooves, dips, depressions and crannies and pulls out built up dirt. If your floor is really built up or dirty, go over it once and don't be disheartened by the streaks of dirty water left behind-that means the mop pulled it off your floor! A second easy pass (no scrubbing) and you'll be amazed at your "new" floor. This mop is a time and money saver.

Sh-Mop - The Sh-Mop, pronounced just as it looks, is a time and money saver, too. For those in between mopping jobs that don't require the heavy duty cleaning power of a Magic Eraser Mop, the Sh-Mop lets you get them done in record time. It has a wide head that covers more ground than most mops. And you'll save money over wet mops with disposable pads you have to keep buying. You wet the terry cloth Sh-Mop cover and wring it out. Put it on the mop and go. You can use a spray bottle to spray in front of the mop for spot cleaning jobs. Then just toss the terry cover into the wash. Your floor will be clean fast thanks the large swivel head that gets everywhere and the texture of the damp terry cloth. No more buying disposable pads is good for your wallet, and it's good for the environment, too.

Oxo Good Grips Squeegee - You can purchase bottles of spray cleaner for your shower and bath. Just spray it after each shower to keep it clean and buy more when you run out. Or you can use an economical and green solution and buy an Oxo Good Grips Squeegee. After your shower, grab the squeegee and quickly scrape it down the walls. No more water left on the walls means no more build-up. And you won't have to keep buying chemical spray. Or if you don't already buy the chemical spray to keep your shower clean, you won't have to spend hours scrubbing hard water and soap scum off your shower walls anymore, because you squeegeed it off when it was easiest.

Speed Cleaning - This book by Jeff Campbell might be your #1 tool for saving time and money while cleaning (and you won't need much space to store your tools). Learn how carrying your tools with you in a handy caddy cuts hours off your cleaning time, and which cleaning tools are best--not which are the most expensive. Jeff's method will have you keeping your house company clean in just an hour or two a week. And if you don't care about company clean, it can help you shave time off your current cleaning routine, no matter what you do in a week.

The iRobot Roomba Vacuuming Robot - If you've ever watched The Jetsons you might have dreamed of a day when robots like Rosie did the housework for us.  That day's a little closer with the iRobot Roomba Vacuuming Robot. Tired of sweeping that floor all the time only to see a mess there an hour later? A Roomba will take care of that for you and save you tons of time. Just charge it, push the button and let it go. The Roomba uses smart technology that lets it change direction when it runs into an obstacle. It can work on hard floors or carpets just as well, and returns all by itself to its charging station. It sucks up crumbs, pet hair and just about anything you throw at it into its easy to empty bagless dustbin. For a constantly swept floor, the Roomba's hard to beat. There's even a model for the workshop, to get those really dirty messes.

The iRobot Scooba - You don't have to settle for just a clean swept floor. Why not have a robot that does the floor washing for you, too? The Scooba preps the floor, cleaning it of debris, then washes, scrubs where necessary and dries the floor so it's safe for all floor types. It can do a 250 square-foot room on one charge. And you can use a simple and cheap water and vinegar solution, if you want to save money on cleaners, or choose the special solution made for the Scooba. It senses when it's near rugs and carpeting and avoids those so you don't end up with a wet mess. This is one of the niftiest time-saving devices available today, and will probably stay on top until they make an iRobot than can do windows.

Friendly Robotics Lawn Mower - Yes, you really can let a robot mow your lawn. This small device runs on an electric charge and stays inside a perimeter you set up one time. Tell it how often you want it to run over the grass and it does it automatically, keeping the grass at a nice, short level all the time. No more slaving in the hot sun! It works best on a level yard, and can mow for two-and-a-half hours on one charge. You'll save all that time spent mowing, and never have to worry about fitting it into your schedule. The robotic mower is a significant investment, but no more than a small riding lawn tractor, and you won't have to buy gas. So if you're looking to get out of that time-sucking chore of keeping the grass continually cut it's definitely a great gadget to own. It even has a theft deterrent so no jealous neighbor will tempted to lift it off your lawn and put it to work for them.

Brill Luxus Reel Mower - Gas is expensive, and you spend quite a bit each summer or growing season in your lawn mower. That's without mentioning the oil and other maintenance. With a high quality Brill Luxus Reel Mower, you'll never have to buy lawn mower gas or oil again, or spend a pretty afternoon walking behind those nasty exhaust fumes. And you'll be getting plenty of exercise at the same time. This German-engineered mower is precision crafted for perfect cuts. Send the blades back every 4 or 5 years for sharpening and that's about all the maintenance you'll need. Now when gas skyrockets to $4+ per gallon, you won't have to cringe at the idea of putting all that money in your lawn mower. Reel mowers are best on flat lawns, and they do take a little getting used to. But you'll save both money and time in the end, because you won't have to fiddle with lawn mower maintenance. The lightweight mower takes up very little space and can easily be hung on a garage or shed wall.

Achla 54-Gallon Rain Barrel - So very often, money-saving solutions are also green solutions like this rain barrel. Use it to catch rainwater to water your lawn, garden and plants and save on water bills, as well as conserve water. The sturdy construction means your rain barrel will last for years and pay for itself many times over. There's a leaf screen to keep debris out, and it's childproofed for safety. You can even hook it to other barrels for more storage capacity.

Drain Clearing Drum Auger - This is an inexpensive tool no home should be without. You can get a good auger for less than $20, but it can save you hundreds of dollars in plumber's fees. And you won't have to wait days with clogged pipes for a plumber to appear, which saves you time as well as the money you might spend on a Laundromat or eating out, if you can't wash clothes or dishes. This device is easy for anyone to use. You remove the P-trap beneath the sink that that won't drain (or remove the overflow on your tube and use that hole) and push the coil through. Also known as a pipe-snake, the auger will slide through the pipe and break up any regular clog. This is always the first thing to try (after blocking any overflow or double sink drain and trying a good old plunger) before you call that expensive plumber. Most of the time, the clog's close enough that a drum auger will bore it out and you save yourself a lot of money and inconvenience.

6-in-1 Screwdriver Set - Along with something like a drum auger, this is a good item to keep around the house. The screwdriver comes with 6 removable tips that let you use it for flat and Phillips head screws of different sizes. And instead of needing a whole drawer for 6 screwdrivers, it can be stored in the space of just one screwdriver, making it a great space saver as well as a handy tool.

Kaito KA404 Emergency Hand Crank Dynamo 5-LED Flashlight with AM/FM radio - How many times have you needed a flashlight only to find that the batteries were dead because it was left on? Those batteries are expensive, and it's aggravating not to have what you need when you thought you did. Never be stuck without a flashlight again, and never buy batteries again with this hand crank LED flashlight. Crank it for light and to hear the radio, which is handy during storms and emergency situations. Keep one in your junk drawer, your boat, your garage and your car so you'll always have a light handy when you need it, and you can forget about spending $$ on those batteries that just go dead in storage.

Wall Mount Key Hook - An attractive wire wall mount key hook looks nice on your wall, it's true. But it will save you countless hours over the years. Stop digging in the bottom of your purse for your keys, or wondering where you left them this time. Get in the easy habit of always hanging your keys on the wall on your key hook, and you'll be able to find them every single time. Hang other things to keep them handy like a dog leash or umbrella, too.

EZ-FIND! 25 Item Wireless Electronic Locator- How often do you lose your keys, your cell phone or the remote control? Anything you lose can be saved with the EZ-find system. It comes with several tags and more can be purchased separately so you can track up to 25 personal items that you tend to misplace. Attach the tag to the item you often lose and next time you can't find it, use the remote control to help you find it. We lose hours every month looking for things we misplace. Save time by finding them quickly.

Totes Key Finder Whistle Ring - If it's just your keys that give you fits and you want a quick solution a whistle key ring is ideal. You'll save tons of time looking for keys every day. If you misplace them, just whistle and the key ring beeps to tell you where they are. It's also built with an LED light to light-up those keyholes in the dark.

UNKN Slim Charging Valet - With cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras and iPods all part of our daily routines, finding a place to charge them all can be a challenge. This valet looks nice on a counter or desktop without taking up much space, and contains a 4-outlet power strip that lets you charge up to 4 devices at once. They sit neatly on top, and there's a drawer where you can put keys, change and other small items. Unload your pockets at the end of the day and let your valet charge your gadgets overnight while keeping them neatly corralled.

Charge4ALL Portable Charging Mat - This is the perfect solution when you need a place to charge up to 4 devices at once, but you need to be able to move it around, and it needs to be a space saver. This is a silicone mat to protect your devices with an AC Adaptor that plugs in and a stick that allows up to 4 devices to charge at once. But it's portable and easy to move wherever you need it.

Charge4All Travel Charging Folio - This charging solution by the same company is designed for travel.  Charge up to 4 devices at once, with a selection of 5 adapters so you can charge everything you need to with no compatibility problems. It folds up into a zippered case that's small enough to easily toss in a bag. This is a space-saving solution for travel so that your camera, cell phone and other devices are always at the ready.

Lasko 5365 30-Inch Digital Space-Saving Ceramic Pedestal Heater with Remote Control - Do you have that one spot in your home where you spend a lot of time, but it seems the heater never quite reaches it? Or do you want to be able to turn the thermostat down but stay comfy at your desk or another nook or cranny? This heater is small and compact so it will fit in a minimal amount of space, but it works well enough to keep you toasty. Lowering your thermostat even 1 degree can make a difference in your heating bill, so it saves you money by warming the spot where you are rather than your entire house.

Under-Sink Storage Shelf - Sometimes saving space isn't about finding the smallest or most compact item, but using your available space as well as possible. That's what this under-sink storage shelf helps you do. Deep lower cabinets are full of space but it's not good space. It goes too far back and makes things hard to reach, and it's just one big open area with lots of wasted space. And right under the sink, the pipes are in the way. This under-sink storage shelf has snap-on adjust able shelves that go around your under sink pipes and give you an extra shelf for storage for cleaning supplies or whatever else is handiest to keep in that wasted space beneath your sink. This is perfect for inside your bathroom vanity cabinet, too.

Clothing and Closet Savers:

Purseket Purse Organizer - The Purseket is an ingenious purse organizer unlike any other. It's the original purse organizer that can make it easy for you to keep a bag organized no matter how small or large it is. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns, too. Each Purseket has several pockets for things like a cell phone, wallet, checkbook, glasses and whatever else you regularly carry. Fill the pockets, then fold the Purseket into a tiny "o." Drop it into the bag and it expands to ring the outside walls, leaving an empty space in the middle for larger items. There's even a handy rod on the Purseket so when you're on the go, you can hang your keys there and never fish around for them in the bottom of your bag again. The small Purseket fits in a compact handbag and the largest one is great for a hobo bag or tote, with a few sizes that fit in-between.

Bra Wash Bag - Bras are expensive, and the washer and dryer are their number one enemies. Putting them into a bra wash bag helps keep the hooks from catching on other clothes and bending (as well as tearing up other items) and it can help keep the elastic from being stretched out. Wash in the bag (and dry in it if you must, but hanging to dry will save you money as they'll last longer) and keep your bras in good shape, longer.

Spacebags - Spacebags can help you save so much space by letting you store big, bulky items in a fraction of the space they'd take up otherwise. You put the items you want to store in the Spacebag, like comforters, blankets, stuffed animals and pillows. Seal the bag, and use your vacuum hose to suck the air out of the bag through the special one-way opening. This flattens the bag to a fraction of its former size, meaning you can store many more things in the same amount space. These are perfect for storing extra pillows and bedding, as well as off-season clothes and other textiles.

Closet Doubler - Need more room in your closet, but you want to save money over one of those closet systems that cost several hundred dollars? A closet doubler is simply another bar you hang from the clothes bar that instantly gives you twice as much clothes hanging room. Hang shirts from the top and slacks from the bottom and double your hanging space. It's a money-saving, space-saving solution for small or hard to organize closets.

Slim Velvet Hangers - Tired of spending money getting wrinkles out of clothes at the dry cleaners, or spending time washing, ironing and steaming them at home to get them wrinkle-free because they're crammed in your closet, or they fell to the bottom? These velvet-covered hangers are thin and take up little space, and they're coated so that clothes grip them. No more shirts sliding off and ending up crumpled on the closet floor. The velvety covering also helps prevent creases in the shoulders of clothing from hanging. Switch to these hangers and you'll never have to worry about snagging your clothes on those metal hangers again, either.

Twirl-a-Tie - The Twirl-a-Tie is a great space-saving and time-saving solution for anyone who needs to store ties. You'll save a lot of money over an electric tie rotating machine that just takes up space and is needlessly gadgety. Instead, this device hangs on your closet rod like a hanger, and holds 20 to 25 ties in a very small amount of space. You don't need electricity or batteries--it just spins so you can grab the tie you want. Ties are kept crisp and wrinkle-free and you don't have to search for one in the morning.

Honey Can-Do Over the Door Shoe Organizer - This soft panel organizer easily hangs over a door or from a closet rod, if you prefer. For the over the door installation, you'll have up to 12 pairs of shoes up off the ground and easy to choose from, as well as hidden behind your door. Hang it in a roomy closet for easy morning shoe selection. You'll save time looking in the dark recesses of the bottom of your closet, or digging through shoeboxes stacked on a shelf. And you'll save space. You can do much more than just store shoes with this organizer. It's great for the back or the door of a busy bathroom. Soaps, shampoos, body washes, accessories and a variety of other hygiene and personal items can be stored behind the door to keep countertops and shelves clear and neat. It's great for craft supplies, wrapping supplies and even in a child's room. Put it on the back of the door to hold toys, dolls, blocks and anything that needs to get up off the floor.

Whitney Jewelry Organizer - If you don't want an entire piece of furniture just for your jewelry but would rather have an inexpensive and space-saving solution for keeping your necklaces untangled and your jewelry all on display so you can easily choose what to wear, then this jewelry organizer is perfect. It hangs from your closet rod and doesn't take up any more room than an item of clothing. It's made of cotton canvas, and has 40 pockets on each side. That's 80 pockets for rings, earrings, bracelets, necklaces and other jewelry. And the pockets are see-through, so you don't have to rummage to find just the right piece of jewelry. You can also use this for craft supplies like beads, buttons, sewing notions and any other small items you need to keep separate and organized.

Home Office and Workplace Savers:

Magnetic Dry-Erase Calendar - Paper calendars can only get you so far. Usually they're small and with little space to write appointments. And if your plans change, they look sloppy fast. With a magnetic dry-erase calendar you can write things down and change them quickly by erasing the old. Write a school appointment and use a magnet to put the report card you'll need on that date. Schedule your shopping and make sure you have the receipt you need thanks to the handy magnet. Never worry about buying a new calendar or coordinating family events when you can have it all in one place each and every month. You'll save time by being so organized and having everything in one location. It's so easy to use, you'll be in the habit in no time and you'll be painlessly organized and using your time as wisely as possible. When a new month comes, just jot the dates into the appropriate boxes and you're ready to go again. Get in the habit of marking birthdays, appointments and special occasions on your calendar each month and you'll never forget a date or wonder where you can fit something into your week.

Aurora Cross-Cut Shredder - Shredding documents and unused credit cards is a necessity in today's age of identity theft and fraud. So you need a shredder that helps you save time by getting the job done fast. This cross-cut shredder can handle a credit card or up to 8 sheets of paper at once, which is over twice what some other shredders can handle. If you know your shredding task isn't going to take as long or be as tedious, you're more likely to shred on a regular basis instead of shrugging and throwing those documents away whole, so you're information will be much more secure if you use a better shredder. This shredder comes with its own trash can for easy emptying and no mess.

Brother PC-Connectable Label Maker - For professional and easy to read labels to help you get organized and save time, choose the Brother PC-Connectable Label Maker that helps you save space. The size of a can of soda, this quality Brother product can make customized labels so you know what you've put where. Use labels for a variety of applications to help you organize your home office or workspace.

Corner Chrome Waste Basket - Sometimes we set up a room so efficiently that we get the maximum use of space but there's just no room for anything else, not even a waste-basket. Or at least you thought there wasn't room for a waste-basket. If you've got a free corner you can get a corner waste basket and never have to run into another room to throw something away again.

TurboTax - If you struggle to do your own taxes every year, you're wasting time needlessly. Turbo Tax software can help you do your taxes in record time. The software leads you through the process with questions to make it foolproof. If you pay someone a lot of money to do your taxes each year because it seems too complicated for you but you'd like to save money and do them yourself, invest in Turbo Tax. It doesn't matter whether you're single with no complex tax needs or you run your own business and have tons of deductions, Turbo Tax software will help you get everything right. File online and save time, too.

Greeting Card Planner and Organizer - If you have trouble getting organized for holidays and birthdays then the Greeting Card Planner and Organizer can save you time and money. You won't be buying cards that never get sent, and you won't have to wrack your brain each month trying to remember who gets a card. You can buy all your cards at once or a month at a time, once you write down the occasions on a handy list you'll keep inside the organizer. Then file the new greeting cards by month. Once a month, have a look at what needs to go out and you're organized and ready to go. Keep your address book nearby and stick some stamps in the organizer, and you'll have a foolproof way of never sending that late birthday card again. If you send a ton of cards and want to keep all your Christmas cards and blank cards stored for December and various occasions, you can opt for the bigger Greeting Card Box Keeper and stay even more organized.

Pet Savers:

Good Stuff Pet Hidden Litter Box - If you're short on space to put a litter box, and you really don't want a litter box sticking out as the focal point of a room, this Hidden Litter Box is a great space saver. Disguised in the potted part of a fake potted plant, you can angle it just so and no one need know that it's really where kitty does her business.

ScoopFree Anti Tracking Carpet- Cats can be wonderful companions, but their litter boxes are no fun. You can save time on clean-up, though, with an anti-tracking carpet outside your cat's litter box. Using good scoopable litter will make a huge difference with or without the carpet, but for best results, use clumping litter and the anti-tracking carpet to keep the litter where it should be--in the box. The carpet helps to pull litter off your kitty's paws to keep it off your carpets or hard floors, or even your furniture. This can save you a lot of vacuuming and sweeping time each day. If you find yourself constantly cleaning up cat litter, this is a small investment that can make a huge difference in your day.

ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box - If the idea of less litter mess really appeals to you (and why wouldn't it?) then why not go all the way and get a ScoopFree Self-Cleaning Litter Box? You'll save time because you can set it and forget it for over 3 weeks, and you'll never have to worry about scooping litter again. This is ideal for the person who'd like to keep the litter box clean constantly but just can't scoop several times a day. It gives your cat a healthier and more hygienic litter box, and eliminates the need for you to do much of anything. The litter box does the work for you. Twenty minutes after the cat leaves the box, the ScoopFree rakes through the litter and pushes the solid waste into a receptacle, cleaning the litter and keeping odor away. The box uses FreshStep disposable litter trays that are pre-filled with special litter. Just replace that box every 3 weeks or so, and you'll never have to think about cleaning a litter box again.

Furminator Deshedding Tool for Cats - Saving time getting rid of those loose bits of fur that your cat will eventually cough up in a hairball is great, but you'll save time cleaning your house too, because you won't be struggling to suck up all that shed hair. This tool is used just like a brush or a comb and can reduce your cat's shedding by up to 90%. It's safe, as no blades ever touch your cat's skin, and it's much easier to use on a cat than some other popular deshedding methods. You don't have to try to struggle to give your cat a bath, or to get your cat to sit still for the vacuum. Both those methods waste time because you have to struggle to do them with an unwilling feline, and then you probably have to patch yourself up afterwards! The Furminator is an easy solution for less mess and happier pets. There's also a Furminator for dogs and one for horses, as well as several other models with different features like a double edge or a "Furejector" that makes cleaning the device quick and easy.

PediPaws - This handy nail trimmer makes nail trimming faster and easier than ever before. This tool is especially handy if your pet doesn't mind the slight hum, and has black or dark nails that make it difficult to see the pink quick. If you're worried about cutting your dog's nails too far back, then this device grinds the nail down rather than chops it off, so you have less worry about going too far and hurting your pet. If your pet tends to squirm making it hard to cut right where you want, this device might be a good solution, too.

Kid Savers:

My Chores Chore Chart- This one can save any parent time and a lot of aggravation. The chores are listed on the eye-catching colorful chart, and the reward stickers are waiting for the chores to be complete. This is great whether you have one child or several and helps give the kids incentive to get things done. Never need to nag again, just point at the chore chart and help the kids accept responsibility. The chart is a great learning tool that makes a parent's job a little bit easier.

Whitney Kids Weekly Closet Organizer - This colorful closet accessory for kids can help them learn to be more organized. And it can save you tons of time in the morning. The organizer doesn't take up much space in the closet and hangs from the rod just like the clothes. There are shelves marked for each day of the week where the child can put their clothes and shoes for that day. Get them in the massive time-saving habit of laying their clothes out the night before by using this weekly closet organizer.

Whitmor 12-Bin Organizer in Primary Colors or in Pastels - This is a great time and space-saving accessory for a child's room. It's child-sized, so it makes it easy for them to put their toys away--no high shelves or difficult places to reach to put things away. It's colorful, in your choice of primary colors or pastels, and it gives the child a definite and easy place to put things which means that toys will get put away more often. You'll be able to clean their room faster and it will teach valuable habits about picking up after oneself.

KidPack.pad- Save time and frustration with this pad of checklists to help your kid remember what to pack for every situation-game day, school day and other events. A handy checklist written in a kid-friendly easy-to-scan way will help your child become more independent and end packing-to-go stress.

Homework.pad- This pad will help you have more stress-free evenings when the kids write down the homework and learn to keep it organized to get everything done. The pads have several sheets with clear places to list what needs to be taken to school and which homework assignments need to be completed. You'll save tons of time and nagging once the kids start using these fun pads.

Health and Beauty Savers:

Turboion Croc Pro450 Titanium WET TO DRY 1.5-inch Flat Iron - If you already spend time every day straightening your hair to get your preferred style, why not save time and skip a step? Stop blow drying your hair only to have to turn around and straighten it. Towel dry it just a touch, then use this amazing wet-to-dry straightening iron. It dries hair as it straightens, so you don't waste time blow-drying. It has holes for steam release and heats fast to save you even more time.

Conair Babyliss Pro Ceramic Hair Setter- Who wants to sleep in uncomfortable curlers and miss out on precious sleep? Now you can heat your curlers fast, get them in and get them out so you can get where you need to go. These hot curlers heat quick and curl like a pro, so you don't waste time getting out the door in the morning, or the evening.

Jack Black All Over Wash for Face, Hair and Body - There's no need for guys to forego good grooming just because they're in hurry. Now guys can get in and out of the shower fast but still be polished and well-groomed. Jack Black's All Over Wash means that no longer should you feel you need to use one soap on your face, another on your body and a third shampoo product on your hair. This wash is meant for all of you. One squirt and you're good to go, and it has a pleasant, masculine scent that guys (and their ladies) love. Carve minutes out of your grooming in the mornings with this wash you can use on your face, body and hair.

Aier Gently Gone- This product is an all in one cosmetic groomer. It contains an eyebrow shaper, nail buffer and a manicure set. But if you choose it for nothing else, choose it for the eyebrow shaper. You can save a lot of money over having your eyebrows professionally done if you'd like by using the handy shaper. It uses 1 AAA battery and is safe to use not just on eyebrows but on any facial hair. The blade never touches your skin because of its design, and it's small enough to throw in any bag. Trim sideburns, or trim those pesky hairs that pop up where you don't want them such as the chin or upper lip. It comes with an eyebrow shaping guide for women and thorough instructions. It costs less than having your eyebrows done just once.

REM Spring Facial Hair Remover- This is one of those nifty little devices that make you wonder why you didn't think of it. Anyone who's ever gotten arm hair caught in a watchband or hair caught in a piece of jewelry understands the principle. This spring is tiny and inexpensive, and easy to carry right in a purse. You won't need hair removal cream, hot wax, tweezers or razors to remove that pesky facial hair. Just bend the spring, roll it over your skin and twirl the ends as you do. It catches the hairs and removes them with minimal discomfort. The second time you use it, it'll be practically pain-free, but might feel about like tweezing the first time. Once you get the technique down, you can use the REM in just seconds and be done, so it saves you money and time. Stop burning yourself with wax and getting rashes from depilatory cream. And you know you don't want to actually shave your face. So try the money-saving, long-lasting REM Spring today.

Braun 5270 Silk-épil X'elle Body System Epilator - Tired of shaving your legs several times a week? Tired of using smelly, chemical-laden depilatory creams? You can stop buying creams, shaving foam and razors and stop spending so much time shaving thanks to the Braun Epilator. This new design makes hair removal faster, easier and less painful than with other devices. And because you're pulling the hair out from the root, just as if you were tweezing, it takes much longer for it to come back. Because the hair is pulled out and not cut, it grows back natural and you'll lose that rough stubble feel when it does appear. Cut hair has a blunt edge that helps give stubble its rough texture. Naturally tipped hair is tapered and softer. The longer you use an epilator, the slower your hair will grow back, and you'll never have to feel that rough stubble again as you did when you shaved. No more nicks and cuts, either. And you'll have smoother legs because the Epilator's 40 tweezers pick up even the softest, thinnest hairs that you'd miss with a razor. A built in light helps you see the hair, so you're sure not to miss any. And massage rollers that roll over your skin as you move the epilator help keep you from feeling the discomfort of the hair removal. It's the best design yet from the company that knows this type of hair removal.

Dyna-Band Resistant Band - You could spend hundreds of dollars on home gym equipment, but you don't have to. Even if you did already spend a bundle, your gym isn't complete until have an assortment of different types of resistance bands. These are just like huge rubber bands, usually in different colors that signify different amounts of resistance, that can be used with a variety of exercises to make them more efficient and effective. Sit-ups done with a resistance band are both easier and better for the abdominal muscles. Leg lifts with a resistance band will get your legs in shape faster. And almost any exercise you do with weights can be done with a resistance band instead. Just sitting in a chair and playing with the band while watching television can work your muscles and help you boost your metabolism. These are inexpensive pieces of equipment that also save space over a huge weight set. They're easy to carry with you and easy to use, which means you'll use them more often and get in shape faster.

Wii Fit - If you already have or plan to purchase a Wii (as listed above), then do yourself a favor and invest in a Wii Fit. If you're considering spending hundreds of dollars a year on a gym membership because you need to get in shape, but you're not sure if you'll like it, spend less than $100 on a Wii Fit and work out in the privacy of your own home for a while. You may still want that membership, but if you're looking to save money and the time it takes to run back and forth to the gym, the Wii Fit is just the thing. It tracks your weight and BMI and lets you set goals. Then you can do a variety of exercises from stepping to jogging to yoga, and the better you do, the more activities are available to you. You're taught proper form, and you get great exercise while having fun doing things like hula-hooping and trying to walk across a tightrope. Fun for kids and adults, it can also be an effective and inexpensive fitness tool.

Holiday Savers:

Jokari Gift Wrap Organizer - How often have you bought Christmas wrapping paper and accessories on sale after the holidays only to have to purchase more the following year because you can't find your stash? Spent far too long looking for that roll of birthday wrapping paper or bag of bows only to find them after you've already ran out and purchased more? Avoid these money-wasters by keeping your wrapping paper neat and organized, and most importantly easy to find! The Jokari Gift Wrap Organizer can hang right in a hall closet or even your clothes closet. It takes up no more room than a thick suit or coat and keeps everything you need handy. It holds rolls of paper, folded paper, gift bags, ribbons, tape, scissors, tags, bows and anything else you use to make your gifts special.

Plastic Christmas Ornament Storage Box - If you want to know how other people keep their Christmas ornaments looking great from year to year without breaking them or having the ribbon unwrap from around bulbs, try this handy solution. Each ball or ornament fits into a separate compartment to keep them from clinking together. You can fit up to 48 ornaments in one box, and the hard sides prevent crushing. It's square for easy storage and to save space.

Solar Powered LED Outdoor Holiday Lights - Save money on electricity and the need to constantly replace those holiday lights by choosing solar-powered LED lights that don't burn out every year. These last up to 20 times longer than regular Christmas lights. They come in 23-foot lengths and you get a choice of white or multi-colored, as well as continued burn or blinking. Let the sun power your lights this Christmas and save on energy bills and the cost of decorations for years to come.

Breath Alcohol Analyzer AlcoHAWK® Slim- Not only is this personal blood alcohol breath analyzer slim and space saving, it can save you thousands of dollars and as many headaches by showing you in hard-to-argue-with numbers that it's NOT okay to go ahead and drive. This device is well-worth the very modest cost if it's what's standing between you and a DUI, or even worse, a costly and potentially fatal accident. If you like to drink (or like to go with people who do) then you owe it to yourself to carry this handy device with you. You'll save space, because it's smaller than other models, and you'll save money on legal fees and/or hospital bills by stopping yourself before you start the car. You may even save a life.
