You are driving down a beautiful and remote highway in Nevada. It does not have any landmarks, and you do not have a destination. Just miles and miles of sand, low growing plants and more sand.

The highway takes a sharp turn, and you enter a little town. You are running low on gas, and it is getting dark, so you decide to drive around to look for a gas station, and perhaps a hotel.

The town appears to be empty, and all the windows are boarded up. At the end of a road find an old house. “What the heck”, you decide to yourself, “I should check it out”.

The house appears to be empty. Dust is the only thing that stayed. All the doors are taken off, except one. Of course, now that your interest is peaking, you decide to enter it. Inside the room is a table with a wallet on it. You open the wallet, and it has a fresh, untouched crispy $5 bill in it, and it looks like it has just been printed.

You turn around, and there is a laptop on the floor, with AliExpress open in the new tab.

“The start have aligned” – you think to yourself, even though you don’t believe in astrology. Now that your balance has a positive $5 on it, you have to spend it.

And here are some sweet product ideas.

5 DOLLAR (and under) ALIEXPRESS FINDS

Food bag clips

Price: $1.70+

A clamp that comes in 2 sizes. Big and small. Small and big.

Small ones can be used for finer stuff, and bigger ones…well for bigger stuff.

Pretty straightforward to use, you cut an end off a bag that you want to clip it on, attach it and use it. Pretty nifty.

The bigger one is almost identical other than the fact that it’s bigger, and that the cap is a twist off compared to the clip on on the smaller one.

EGG OPENER THING (Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher)

Price: $5.50

A thing can only be named if you’re a German linguistics professor and sounds like an ancient Nordic spell, but it actually serves a very simple purpose, and that is to crack soft boiled eggs.

There are cheaper ones, but you actually want ones that look like something you’d find in your single aunt’s nightstand because the tall leg make egg break good.

CABINET LATCH

Price: $2.20

This might look complicated but it really isn’t and it is in fact quite useful for fixing cabinets with doors that won’t stay closed.

It’s a simple ball operated spring loaded door latch that takes 4 screws to install. The tension can be adjusted, but you really don’t need to as long as it locks.

AUTOMATIC DOOR SHUTTER

Price: $4

This handy device attaches to the doorframe, and slowly closes the door after it is opened. The mechanism is mechanical, and does not require the use of batteries.

Because closing the door behind yourself is for peasants.

LACE STOPPER

Price: $2.50 (for a batch of 10)

For people who haven’t learned or don’t want to deal with laces.

This is a listing for a 10 piece lot because I couldn’t find a good one with just 1 piece listed. But you gotta admit that it’s a pretty good deal for just about 20 cents a piece.

Really easy to use, you place the laces in, cut them to desired length and enjoy a 20 seconds saving every time you put your shoes on.

SINGLE-USE SOAP SHEETS

Price: $1.20+ (depending on the amount)

These portable soap sheets isn’t something I thought was valuable until I thought about camping.

They come in a little portable case, and even without accounting for the cost of it, that comes to about 2 cents per one hand washing.

It’s neat because it completely disappears, literally down the drain, after each use.

PRESSURIZED BOTTLE ATTACHMENT

Price: $3

Useful for gardening and whatever else needs to be misted, or if you really miss the aesthetic of the vegetable aisle in a fancy grocery store.

It fits any standard bottle neck, and you create suction by moving the handle with your hand, shout out to my girlfriend.

CENTRIFUGAL FLYING TOY

Price: $5.60

This thing though is like a fidget spinner on steroids.

It’s like a fidget spinner and a boomerang had a baby and this baby was raised by a yoyo, a slinky and a merry go round trouple. Centrifugal force is keeping it afloat, which is kind of cool from a physics perspective.

CORGI DOOR STOPPER

Price: $2

A very thicc corgi.

Some people put them on the back of their phones, but I’m using it as a door stopper.

HARMONICA

$2.75

Hopefully, you will spend your life without going to prison, unless you count buying products at these prices, because it is basically a steal of a deal!

But in case you want to feel what it’s like to live in Southern states in 1930’s, here is a little harmonica.

CRAB PEN HOLDER

Price: $2.50

If they’re not holding anything, it looks like they are worshiping you.

POPSICLE MOULDS

Price: $4.50

Summer is coming! Make your own ice-cream with these food-safe silicone moulds.

Imagine how much money you can save by making your own!

YELLOW TINTED GLASSES

Price: $2

As I mentioned before (and as you probably noticed yourself), the summer is coming!

There are a lot of sunglasses on AliExpress, but these ones have been especially popular in the last quarter.

RETRACTABLE HOLDER

Price: $3

Even if you are not a fisherman or an old-timey motel clerk, you can still make use of this handy retractable holder.

Unleash your inner dad and never lose your keys again!

USB VOLTMETER

Price: $1.50 If you are dying to know how much power your USB devices are emitting or receiving, this voltmeter will help you answer this burning question!
