3 Signs You Should Check In On Your Neighbor

Maybe you hear seemingly constant fighting and crying through the walls. Or someone is hollering upstairs for a concerningly long time.

If You See This Mark on Your Favorite Costco Item, Stock Up

Costco is like a magical fantasyland full of oversized surprises. A lot of the time, you don’t know what you will find there. Sure, there are some classics. Kirkland-brand olive oil and apple pies are beloved standards that you can count on seeing virtually every time you walk through those warehouse doors. Not everything at Costco sticks around, however, and a great deal found one day might be gone the next.

8 Bulk Buys to Buy on Amazon Prime Day

There are few things as satisfying to me as shopping in bulk. There’s just something about looking at a fully stocked pantry or storage closet that makes me feel prepared for anything. Not to mention the savings! Unfortunately my car-less life in New York City means I can’t just drive over to Costco or Sam’s Club to load up on giant boxes of paper towels and freezer bags. So lately I’ve been using Amazon for all my bulk needs.

I asked them what they’re buying during Prime Day, and this is what they recommend. For beauty fans on a budget, Amazon is offering up to 30% off select luxury beauty brands during Prime Day, including makeup, skincare, hair products and tools, as well as fragrance.

This Ultimate Small Space Storage Hack Only Takes $10

Whether you’re eking out more storage with your closet walls or taking advantage of tight corners, every inch counts in a small place. One DIY friendly item that can help? Hinges. Well-placed hinges allow you to use your small space to its fullest potential. Consider a ‘ship-style’ desk instead of a regular fold-down table, like the IKEA NORBERG seen above, which has a little ledge so when the tabletop is folded down, you still have a usable narrow shelf.

3 Prime Day Deals That Cost Less Than 2 Starbucks Lattes

The clock is ticking on Prime Day, with less than a day left to shop all of Amazon’s deals. Even if you’re not ready to spring for a new vacuum, there are still lots of bargains to be found that won’t break the bank.

Looking For A Prime Day Splurge? Our Favorite Vacuum Is On Sale For A Few More Hours

What is it about good vacuums get people all starry-eyed? There’s just something about really clean floors that make every home a bit better. And appliances that make it easier (even, dare we say, exciting) to get the job done tend to get people fired up. People can argue til the cows come home about their favorite vacuum, but it can be hard to beat Dyson for the power and maneuverability. Take, for example, the V8 Absolute Cordless stick vacuum, currently on sale for Prime Day.
