This palm-sized Ecoegg is blowing the minds of over 9,000 reviewers and saving tons of plastic from landfills and oceans! The tiny round pellets completely replace normal detergent and fabric softener to lift away dirt, grime, and condition fabrics, and it works for up to 720 washes, which is three years’ worth of washing for the average family, at just five cents per load.

Rechargeable batteries

Once you switch to rechargeable batteries you’ll never look back — I promise. These can be recharged up to 1,000 times, saving you cash and the environment from toxic materials that pollute soil and water. I dig this particular charger because it allows you to charge both AA and AAA batteries and has a shut-off feature to prevent overcharging.

Reusable produce bags

Reusable produce bags are nearly a necessity now, since many stores are phasing out plastic bags. This 12-pack with 5-star reviews can replace thousands of single-use bags, and because the cotton mesh wicks away moisture, your fruits and veggies last longer too!

Reusable Zip Top Bags

I can’t tell you how much money, disposable plastic bags, and extra dirty dishes I’ve saved with these silicone storage bags — they’re genius! Their standing design is so smart for ladling in leftovers; you can even eat lunch right out of them. The reinforced seal is thick, and they travel from the fridge and freezer to the microwave and dishwasher without warping.

Reusable Baking Mat

The most underrated purchase on this list has to be this reusable baking mat! It’s convenient and super eco-friendly since it replaces butter and oils as well as parchment paper and foil, and wipes clean easily. Use it for baking, one-sheet dinners, crafting — I even let my kids use it with paints and Play-Doh. This is an all-around win, guys!
