27 Target Products That Will Save You Money Longterm
A 6-cup Brita water filter pitcher, which claims to replace "up to 1,800 16.9 fluid-ounce single-use plastic water bottles a year." That's a whole lotta H2O!
Price: $19.89 (available in five colors)
A magnetic dry-erase whiteboard that won't waste paper and makes it super easy to keep grocery lists, which should cut down on a few extra trips to the supermarket.
Promising review: "We purchased this to put on the fridge for shopping/task lists, and it's perfect. It came with magnets to adhere to the back of the board, and the magnets and adhesive pads are of great quality and adhere well. The marker works great and comes with an eraser on the cap (handy), and the board comes with a bonus magnet." —KateSPrice: $5.49
Or a 32-page eco-friendly smart spiral reusable notebook to send all your handwritten notes to cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, OneNote, Slack, iCloud, email, and more using the Rocketbook app for iOS and Android.
Promising review: "I've really appreciated this notebook so far. My favorite feature is actually getting to wipe it clean, which is a huge help in decluttering and using up other notebooks! I like the functionality of uploading the notes if needed. Sometimes I don't upload at all and just use my hand-written notes to type up notes via email after Zoom meetings. For other projects, I've found it really useful to upload and have a record of my notes!" —meaganwhitPrice: $31.49
Reel Paper bamboo paper towels for all of those times you forgot to go to the store for regular paper towels and you're forced to use fast-food napkins and dish towels to blot out and soak up household messes.
Promising review: "These exceeded my expectations. They obviously won't be as absorbent or soft as Bounty, but for bamboo, they're amazing! Go look at other bamboo paper towel reviews; you'll quickly realize that these exceed the quality of any others. They're strong, lint-free, and clean well. Yes, they're not that soft, but they're not wiping your butt, so you'll be fine." —Summer WilksPrice: $7.39+ (available in packs of two and six)
A gentle-use at-home dry cleaner kit to steam clean, deodorize, and remove wrinkles from more delicate clothes. All it takes is 20 minutes in the dryer, which costs so much less time, money, and effort than going to an actual dry cleaner.
Promising review: "This was my first time purchasing this kit, and it really worked! It refreshed my sweater without spending money at the dry cleaners." —LBPrice: $13.89
An 80-piece Johnson & Johnson first aid kit for any boo-boos that might happen while out and about or indoors. This pack has it all, and the case can be reused and refilled.
What's included: 30 adhesive bandages in assorted sizes, 21 sheer adhesive bandages, hand-cleansing wipes, 10 gauze all-purpose dressings, and one full-sized Neosporin antibiotic ointment.Promising review: "This is the perfect on-the-go first aid kit. It fits great in the glove compartment of my Honda Odyssey and has everything I need. I will definitely be getting this again when I need to get another one. I would recommend this for all parents to keep in their cars." —TinaTargetMamaPrice: $13.79
A 6-quart digital window air fryer because the oven takes too long to warm up and the microwave doesn't always leave food tasting its best. Plus, that window lets you see exactly how everything is cooking.
Promising review: "I wish I had bought one sooner. I love the quick cleanup. And the fact that it has a clear window. It also has a recipe book included. In one week, I have used it several times. I am going to get through the learning curve on this. I love this!" —1MadhatterPrice: $69.99
A set of three reusable canvas tote bags to take grocery shopping (or any shopping for that matter). You can never have too many multi-use bags (just remember to clean them from time to time).
Promising review: "These are beautiful and high quality! Each of my kids has one that they grab before heading out for activities. I love that they have thickly woven straps and ample room!" —ChristinePrice: $15.50 (originally $23.99)
Clorox drain cleaners that'll clear out those clogs and hair monsters without having to employ chemicals that most of the time don't get the job done.
Promising review: "Just used one of these for the first time and I was able to clear two drains (bathroom sink and tub/shower) with many uses of just the one tool. I have long hair, known to be an issue in drains, and I'm pretty sure I pulled out some remnants of past tenants as well. The teeth didn't start significantly bending or threatening to break until I was basically done with the second drain. It was definitely gross but incredibly effective." —EmiPrice: $6.29 for three
A 12-pack of 32-ounce wide-mouth Mason jars with lids — they have countless applications. I, for one, use them to extend the lives of certain fruits and veggies. No more throwing away half a carton of strawberries after two days!
Promising review: "I use these as often as possible instead of plastic containers for food storage as these do not stain, don't get distorted in the dishwasher, and can be reused for years." —HatLadyNCPrice: $13.19 (originally $16.49)
An airtight, water-resistant Vaultek LifePod X Rugged Electronic Lockbox with a keypad lock to keep your valuables — like smartphones, cash, passports, or medicine — safe while you're at the beach, pool, or anywhere that allows you to concentrate on fun instead of potential theft.
Price: $84.99
A pack of dishwasher-safe stainless-steel and silicone straws that'll cut down on single-use plastics and work way better than paper straws.
Promising review: "Love these straws! Easy to clean as they come with a cleaning brush, and the silicone tops are removable. Definitely would recommend :)" —bklovestargetrunsPrice: $4.24 (originally $4.99)
A three-pack of Tide To Go stain remover pens for those trips where you're packing light and there's no washing machine. Kiddo clothes will most likely get stained, so you'll be glad you have this on hand for sauce and juice spills.
Promising review: "Handy and easy to use to remove stains on the go or to spot treat stains at home." —Target GirlPrice: $8.99
A pack of three size-assorted biodegradable, washable, and reusable beeswax food wraps to tear plastic wrap use out of your life for good.
Promising review: "I love these! Better option than plastic. I like to use them to wrap sandwiches so I can wipe them clean after and reuse them." —Mamax4 Price: $15.89
A fast-charging, long-running portable wet/dry vacuum cleaner ideal for keeping in your car and saving you some money on springing for the Executive Gold Package at the carwash.
Promising review: "I initially bought this for my car, but now I use it around the house too. It's powerful and easy to clean — great value for the price!" —MyraPrice: $59.99 (originally $199.99).
An Energizer charger for NiMH rechargeable AA and AAA batteries, so you'll never run out of juice again.
Promising review: "I decided to get this battery charger because I play video games and have spent quite a bit on batteries. Purchasing this was the best decision. It's worth it. Charging time is perfect. I charge the batteries at the same time, use two, and have two to spare, and continue playing when the previous batteries need to be charged. Good investment." —NAFPrice: $15.99
A spray bottle of water-based Folex instant carpet spot remover because if you've got a carpet or rug (that you care about), you best believe it's gonna get stained. Take a look right now; there's probably a new stain already waiting for you!
Promising review: "I've been using Folex for many years. This is the only thing that can get stains out of my carpet pretty fast. Sometimes, they do return, but if you just want something that's quick and you don't have to scrub so hard, then this is going to be the thing for you." —VmurphyPrice: $8.59
A Lego Botanicals mini orchid building set that'll add a never-need-to-water-or-worry-about-dying floral touch to any room, all for the cost of one actual bouquet of flowers.
Promising reviews: "A really fun build. It didn't take very long. A great set for anyone that won't take hours or days to put together." —Baxterdad"Looks life-like from across the room!" —OtherPrice: $23.99
An easy-to-clean, dishwasher-safe, odor-containing, and pest-reducing plastic OXO compost bin, so now you have no excuse not to compost on the reg.
Promising review: "I originally had a one-gallon metal can-style compost bin with charcoal filters in the lid. It worked for a while, but just got sooo gross, and was hard to clean. Switching to this one has been great. Things I love…. 1) The bag stays in place with the rim to hold it. 2) The lid is attached. No more gross lid sitting on the counter while you're peeling potatoes. 3) The lid also detaches for easy cleaning. 4) The lid is not deep. Our old one had a deep, rimmed lid that resulted in it pressing into the nasty compost and getting stuff stuck all over the edges. 5) Comfortable carry handle. 6) EASY to clean. 7) Somehow, despite no filter, it hasn't gotten stinky." —Ticky85Price: $32.99
A set of silicone baking mats that eliminate the need for butter, grease, oils, sprays, parchment paper, or disposable foil.
Promising review: "No complaints. Very slight staining after running them through the dishwasher. I should have checked the dimensions so they match my baking sheets exactly, but no biggie." —CHPrice: $13.19
A portable clothesline, because the sun's rays are always the most cost-effective way to dry your wet laundry. Attach it anywhere from a balcony to a tree, on an RV, or even in a hotel room.
Price: $11.49+ (available in three sizes and seven colors)
A travel container set for all of the lotions and potions that you require on your journey. No need to spend money on travel-size versions or packing full-size bottles, taking up extra space and weight in your luggage.
Price: $15.39
A Bialetti Moka 6-cup espresso maker to make a strong, rich brew and save you some cash since you won't need to make any more daily trips to over-priced Starbucks. Niiiice! (Read in Sabrina Carpenter's voice).
Promising review: "We love our Moka pot! We bought this six years ago now, and it's still holding strong. We've had three other coffee makers (pour over, French press, etc.) over this same time period that have since broken, but not this Moka pot! We've been using it daily for the last two years because it's the most convenient way to make coffee in the morning. And it tastes great!" —JenPrice: $39.99 (originally $44.99).
And if you're a Keurig-user, a four-pack of reusable K Cups that'll cut down on plastic waste and give you more options to drink your favorite flavors of brew.
Promising review: "Works perfectly in our Keurig. How nice to choose your favorite blend of coffee and not have to use just what's offered in the disposable plastic pods. Note: The manufacturer suggests a coarse grind as the finer grind clogs up. I especially like that it's BPA-free and easy to clean after each use. The price for four is reasonable compared to some of the others that are not as easy to use and have questionable manufacturing." —FlamingoPinksPrice: $11.99 (originally $18.99).
A battery-operated LED toilet bowl nightlight, because in the middle of the night, one's aim is not always true, and the last thing you want to spend any time or money on is cleaning up floor pee.
Promising review: "Works well and very well made. Love having this! No need to turn on the light each time through the night." —Love this rugPrice: $10.39
A two-pack of Stasher reusable food bags that not only help to phase out non-recyclable single-use plastics, but can be used to keep almost anything from snacks and toys to medicine and changing supplies contained.
Price: $29.49
A 3-in-1 multi-charging cable so you can cut down on having/buying an excessive amount of cords, always have the right plug, and be able to juice up several devices at once.
Promising review: "We live in an Apple /Android home, so we need all three types of plugs. I was concerned that the two adaptors would break off or the connections would become useless, but four and a half months later, they're as good as new. It might be nice if they offered a bit longer version, but that is not a real issue for us." —ArbyPrice: $16.08 (originally $27.28)

Clorox Stock: Is CLX Underperforming the Consumer Staples Sector?
Valued at a market cap of $14.9 billion, The Clorox Company (CLX) manufactures and markets consumer and professional products. The Oakland, California-based company's offerings span cleaning and disinfecting products, bags and wraps, grilling supplies, natural personal care, food dressings, and water-filtration systems. Companies valued at $10 billion or more are typically classified as 'large-cap stocks,' and Clorox fits the label perfectly, with its market cap exceeding this threshold, underscoring its size, influence, and dominance within the household & personal products industry. The company's strengths lie in its diverse and well-recognized brand portfolio, including Clorox, Brita, Burt's Bees, Glad, and Kingsford among others, with many of its products holding leading market shares in their categories. Its broad distribution network, spanning mass retailers, grocery chains, e-commerce platforms, and professional channels, ensures wide market reach both domestically and internationally. 2 Outstanding Stocks Under $50 to Buy and Hold Now 3 ETFs with Dividend Yields of 12% or Higher for Your Income Portfolio Nvidia's Bringing Sovereign AI to Germany. Should You Buy NVDA Stock Here? Tired of missing midday reversals? The FREE Barchart Brief newsletter keeps you in the know. Sign up now! This household & personal care products company has dipped 29.4% from its 52-week high of $171.37, reached on Dec. 6, 2024. Moreover, shares of CLX have declined 16.5% over the past three months, considerably lagging behind the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund's (XLP) marginal uptick during the same time frame. In the longer term, CLX has fallen 12.8% over the past 52 weeks, underperforming XLP's 3.4% rise over the same time frame. Moreover, on a YTD basis, shares of Clorox are down 25.5%, compared to XLP's 2.3% return. To confirm its bearish trend, CLX has been trading below its 200-day moving average since early February, with minor fluctuations, and has remained below its 50-day moving average since mid-December, 2024. On May 5, Clorox released weaker-than-expected Q3 results, prompting its share price to fall 2.4% in the following trading session. A consumption slowdown across most of its reportable segments, along with the divestitures of its VMS and Argentina operations, led to an 8% year-over-year decline in its overall revenue to $1.7 billion, which fell short of the consensus estimates by 2.3%. Moreover, its adjusted EPS of $1.45 dropped 15.2% from the year-ago quarter and missed Wall Street expectations by 7.6%. However, despite a challenging and volatile consumer and geopolitical environment, Clorox achieved a 240 basis-point expansion in gross margin, driven by cost-saving initiatives and benefits from divestitures. Moreover, its adjusted EBIT improved 2.3% from the same period last year to $266 million. Looking ahead to fiscal 2025, CLX updated its outlook, now expecting net sales to be down 1% to flat, and adjusted EPS in the range of $6.95 to $7.35. Clorox's underperformance looks pronounced when compared to its rival, Kimberly-Clark Corporation (KMB), which declined 9.7% over the past 52 weeks and 2.4% on a YTD basis. Looking at CLX's recent underperformance, analysts remain cautious about its prospects. The stock has a consensus rating of "Hold' from the 18 analysts covering it, and the mean price target of $142.75 suggests an 18% premium to its current price levels.

In A World Of AI, A Great Domain Means You're Building For Real
Right now, it feels like there's a new product launch every hour. You can't blame people. The tools are all there. With AI, you can spin up a landing page, write copy, generate a logo, create a promo video, even build a semi-working MVP. You can go from idea to something that looks like a real business in a weekend. That used to take months. But the strange part is, the more polished things look, the less believable they feel. That's the downside of speed and scale. When anyone can create anything, trust becomes the scarce resource. A name might seem like a small detail. A domain might feel like a technicality. But when people are deciding what feels real, what's worth their time, their trust, or their money, your name is often the first and strongest signal they get. We've seen this again and again. And we've felt it ourselves. Logos can be templated. Copy can be AI-generated. Testimonials can be written by ChatGPT. Even team pages can be faked with stock images and made-up bios. But your domain? That's real. You don't accidentally own a strong domain. You don't fake your way into a name like Drift, Loop, Slack or even Atom, which we chose when we rebranded. Great names feel clean and timeless. They carry weight. They tell people: we're serious. We're staying. We rebranded from Squadhelp to not long ago. Squadhelp had served us well. We built a strong business under that name. But over time, we outgrew it. We weren't just helping people come up with names anymore. We were evolving into a full brand platform, with our own marketplace, AI tools, and other building blocks for startups. We needed a name that matched that shift. Something broad, modern, and foundational. When became a possibility, we knew it would be a big investment. But we didn't hesitate. Almost immediately after the switch, we saw the difference. Organic traffic went up. CPCs dropped. And across the board, we saw more trust — from customers, partners, even cold leads. People stayed longer. They took us more seriously. The shift in perception was real. And when perception changes, outcomes follow. A good name reduces friction. You don't have to explain where the hyphen goes. You don't have to clarify the spelling. You don't have to keep reminding people what your company does. The name does some of the work for you. It gets you attention. It earns a second look. And over time, it builds brand memory. The kind that compounds. I've never met a founder who bought a great name early and regretted it. But I've met plenty who waited too long, lost the name they wanted, and now spend every day working around it. At Atom, we're seeing more demand for one-word domains that feel human. Not robotic. Just clean, intuitive words that sound like something people already trust. Names like - all of which recently sold on AI can generate endless combinations. But human language feels rare now, and that rarity makes it valuable. Founders aren't just buying names. They're buying identity. Something to build on, something that lasts. Right now, AI is making it easier than ever to build. But that also means more of the same. The same naming patterns, the same page structures, the same GPT-written headlines. Most startups feel like variations of each other. That's why the ones with strong identity, real voice, real positioning, and real presence stand out even more. A great domain name won't make your company. But it will make people pause. It gives you a shot at being remembered, and that shot is getting harder to come by. AI is going to keep changing how we build. That's not a bad thing. But as creation becomes cheaper and faster, the things that can't be copied — trust, clarity, conviction — become more valuable. Your name sits at the center of all of that. It's not just what people type in their browser. It's what they feel when they hear about you for the first time. It's how they remember you later. It's what gets passed along in conversations you're not in. And in this moment, with more noise and speed than ever, a great name might be the most human thing you have.
