30 Practical Walmart Items Adults Will Inevitably Need
An outlet-concealing extension cord, so you don't have to crawl behind the furniture every time you need to plug in your phone. This cleverly designed gadget will put three outlets within arm's reach and eliminate the eyesore of having a bunch of cords lying around. I've got these in my apartment, and they make it look so much tidier.
Promising review: "Great slim outlet to put behind my bed for the table lamp. Works great." —MosesPrice: $21.95+ (available in two lengths)
A spin scrubber that'll help you clean the house from top to bottom without giving yourself tennis elbow trying to get out stubborn stains. From the stove to the shower, this gadget is about to make cleaning a breeze. It comes with nine different cleaning heads so that you can match the right tool to the task at hand — and avoid any cross-contamination issues. After all, you aren't going to want to use the same pad you use on your sneakers to wash the stove.
Promising review: "I just took this home today and cleaned my shower with it. GAME CHANGER! I dread cleaning the shower but this made it a lot easier." —NicolePrice: $29.98
A cutting board prep station so genius, it'll have you channeling your inner Gordon Ramsay (minus the yelling, hopefully). With four insertable trays, it'll be a breeze to chop and organize your veggies like a pro. Oh, and the real MVP? One tray doubles as both a strainer and a grater, depending on how you flip it.
This is part of BuzzFeed's Tasty collection, at Walmart. Promising review: "I love my new Tasty cutting board prep station. The originality, the thoughtfulness, and all the extras that come with it are awesome. So, if you desire a cutting board that is a cut above (no pun intended) the other standard cutting boards out there, this is the one I would recommend." —BarbaraPrice: $8.88
An over-the-sink strainer for anyone whose current straining method feels like a high-stakes balancing act involving a scalding pot, a too-small strainer, and the ever-present risk of losing half your pasta to the sink. This expandable stainless steel colander rests securely over your sink, so you can confidently pour without the stress (or the accidental noodle casualties). Dinner just got way easier — and way less dramatic.
Promising review: "If you do a lot of cooking that requires any straining, this item is just what you need. It leaves your hands free from everything else that you have to do. It fits perfectly over most sinks, and the liquid goes right down the drain." —LauraSPrice: $16.99 (originally $18.99)
A filtered showerhead to help filter out the chemicals, minerals, and heavy metals in your water that might be drying out your hair and skin. Plus, having a handheld head means you can clean your shower without the hassle of trying to throw buckets of water at the tile without getting it all over the bathroom.
Promising review: "Nice amount of settings, great pressure, and softer water." —MaryPrice: $38
Pantene Pro-V Volume and Body Shampoo, because everyone and their mother seems to be raving about its deep-cleaning abilities on socials. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Lindsey Marie Zubritsky favors this shampoo for its ability to break down oils, sebum, and dirt. "It's a superior product for those with oily or fine hair looking to reduce grease and add some lift and volume," she explains.
Btw, Dr. Zubritsky advises that people with dry hair or scalp steer clear of this product, as it may cause further drying and irritation. Promising review: "This is the only one I've tried that actually works. My hair looks fluffier and the thinning areas are not as obvious." —RobertaPrice: $5.97 (originally $29.99)
A laundry cart for anyone who waits until they're down to their last pair of socks before tackling laundry day. Skip the chaos of deciphering 50 clothing tags at once — this cart lets you sort your laundry as you go. Separate your delicates, normal garments, and linens into their own bins so that when it's finally time to wash, you're already halfway done.
Promising review: "This has got to be the very best laundry sorter I have ever purchased. Size and color were great. All in all, it's the absolute best." —kennethPrice: $42.99 (available in two colors)
A stud finder, because you'll use it more often than you think. This model is nothing more than a heavy-duty magnet, making it much more accurate — and a whole lot less annoying — than sensor-based models. Just drag it over the wall until the magnet attaches to one of the screws or nails in the stud. And it stays on your wall while you hang your item which means no drawing on the wall.
Promising review: "I bought this due to a recommendation online when I was frustrated with a Franklin stud finder. Most stud finders don't really work. The idea of this thing is simple: studs on walls are used to hold up drywall and other stuff, so there must be nails and screws. This is a powerful magnet that finds those nails and screws. No more worrying about getting a false positive! No more guessing why the finder is positive in one area but not another you thought was right! Best purchase ever for DIY work." —YoshiPrice: $9.97
A portable water flosser, if having the dentist scold you again for not having flossed, makes you feel like a child. Spraying your teeth with a strong but gentle stream of water is so much less painful and gross than shoving a string into your gums — you can even fill it with mouthwash to tackle two dental hygiene tasks at once.
Promising review: "Was recommended by my dentist. I've seen major improvement days later with the brightness of my teeth and my gums. For a person like me who does not like to floss often, this is amazing, and I'm very, very impressed. Please talk to your dentist first about this product or other water floss products so you know what is best for your teeth and gums, because everyone is different." —ShaleekaJayPrice: $19.47
A damp duster that actually picks up and holds dust instead of just flinging it into the air like other dusting tools. Seeing them in action in TikTok demos is W-I-L-D. You really can swipe even the thickest of grime off your sinks, baseboards, mirrors, you name it.
Promising review: "Are you kidding me? The BEST way to dust. I just use this for the first time last night, and I could not stop dusting everything. This is the only way to dust. I've used sprays, paper towels, and dusting wands for years, and all that does is throw dust back up into the air, aggravating my allergies. This is an absolute game-changer, and I will never use another product for dusting every single surface in my house." —LaurenPrice: $3.98
A vanity organizer if you've basically got enough products to open up a Sephora and are sick of turning your bathroom drawers into an excavation site every time you can't find your go-to foundation. With compartments for all your must-haves, this organizer keeps everything neat, visible, and ready to grab.
Promising review: "Very cute. Can't wait to see it with all the brushes I bought." —Walmart customerPrice: $16.95+ (available in two shapes)
A 2025 planner to finally get your year together. It not only has plenty of space for planning and task prioritization — it also grounds you with journaling prompts and guided activities. The included stickers keep things fun, and the internal pocket is perfect for stashing all those random scraps of paper you can't deal with right now but definitely need to handle later.
Promising review: "The layout is beautiful and allows me to be creative and interactive with the pages. The stickers add even more fun to the planner." —anonymousPrice: $16.82
A dip powder nail kit if you hate having naked nails but also hate spending hundreds of dollars per month at the salon. The kit costs less than a polish change and yet, reviewers say their DIY manis last weeks.
This set comes with brush-on gel, a nail file, a manicure stick, an activator, a dip powder, 20 white tips, 20 natural tips, a dip tray, and a sponge. Promising review: "This really was so easy! Stayed on perfect, just like the nail salon, I swear. I was at a wedding and didn't want to pay tons of money for nails, and these really worked perfectly. Stayed on for almost two weeks, just like the salon nails! DEFINITELY will purchase it again! And I still have some left to do more nails!" —TaylorPrice: $12.97
A dishwasher cleaner, because as much as we'd like to live in the delusion that we don't need to clean something that itself cleans, it's time to face the fact that dishwashers need to be cleaned at least once a month for hard-water spots, buildup, food, and even mold to keep it working well. These packets make doing so as easy as pouring one into your empty dishwasher and running a normal cycle.
Promising review: "I was close to calling a dishwasher-repair company or getting a new one because the dishes were coming out spotty and a little dirty no matter what I did. I found this product online and bought it; after ONE use, the dishwasher is working again! I love it. There is no strong chlorine smell or anything, either. Great product! Try it!" —MjPrice: $7.97 for a 4-pack
And, on the same note, a four-pack of washing machine cleaner packets if your laundry hasn't been smelling all that great as of late. Pour one of these into the detergent drawer once a month, then run a hot-water cycle to get rid of residue, grime, and buildup that keep your machine from working to its full potential.
Promising review: "I tried all the other brands with no luck. Then, I tried Tide and followed their instructions instead of Electrolux's. Package says use longest cycle and hottest water. It worked great! Even the Electrolux repair man was shocked. You won't regret using this product." —LoyalcustomerPrice: $7.92
A two-pack of cereal keepers because, well, if you insist on eating Froot Loops for breakfast every morning, you might as well eat fresh Froot Loops. Reviewers also use these containers for storing rice, pasta, snacks, and more.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these 24-cup cereal keepers — I have six of them! They are perfect for storing just about any food item, not just cereal. The size is ideal for keeping large quantities fresh, and the airtight seal ensures everything stays crisp and dry. I also appreciate how easy they are to stack, which helps save space in my pantry. These containers are sturdy, versatile, and a great addition to any kitchen. Highly recommend." —TdubPrice: $10.97
An 8-cup cold brew maker for anyone who can't finish a cup of drip before it's too tepid to be tasty. With this, you can brew enough coffee for the entire week simply by steeping coarsely ground beans overnight. Say goodbye to wasted coffee, that counter-space-hogging coffee machine, and, most importantly, subpar coffee.
Price: $14.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors)
A 45-piece tool set, so you don't have to call Dad whenever you want to hang something on the walls. This set has everything you need to keep your home in good shape, including a cordless screwdriver, a hammer, a measuring tape, and an assorted fastener kit.
Promising review: "This is a great gift to give newlyweds, a college student, or anyone else starting out. These tools cover the basic tasks needed around the home: hanging pictures, measuring, etc. The case makes it easy to organize and store the tools. No more rummaging through a kitchen drawer to find what you need!" —RebeccaPrice: $29.88
A power bank for those of us who can't for the life of us keep our phone charged. Honestly, if I don't take mine when I leave the house, I'm just asking for trouble. This one holds about three full smartphone charges, so you don't even need to remember to charge it every time you use it.
Promising review: "Its 3A output can charge most portable electronic devices from dead to full in 30 minutes or less — phones, earbuds, small speakers, etc. I work in a factory with loud volumes that drain my speaker's battery quickly, so I needed something to recharge my portable speaker fast during my 15-minute meal breaks. The Belkin does exactly that! Plus, it holds several charge cycles, so you don't have to recharge the Belkin after every few uses like most portable power packs." —MauricePrice: $22.99 (originally $29.95)
A 50-pack of hook-and-loop cable ties to get your desk in order. There's nothing more aggravating than having to untangle a nest of wires just to realize that the one you're looking for isn't even in that drawer. Even if you think you've got a smart hack for tying cords, this is undoubtedly neater and less likely to result in a knot that bends the wires.
Promising review: "These are a great value. I've been using my first set of 50 for several months without any problems with fraying loops or edges or with damage to the hooks. Having a mix of short and medium-length cable ties helps for different situations. I no longer have a tangled mess of cables in my computer bag." —Mr361Price: $5.47 for a 50-pack
A silk pillowcase, because less friction means better-looking hair and skin. The zip enclosure on this one is super convenient if your pillow always ends up half-nude when you wake up.
Promising review: "Upon first use, I could see an improvement in my hair and skin. I no longer look like a disheveled MESS when I wake up! I think the silk helps me sleep better, too!" —JGreyPrice: $24.97+ (available in two colors and also in two packs)
A lap desk because it's time to give up on trying to get yourself to sit at your actual desk — we both know you're gonna end up working from the couch anyway.
Promising review: "I love this desk. Everything fits perfectly on it." —DianaPrice: $34.99+ (originally $39.99; available in nine colors)
A three-pack of dryer balls, because fabric softener is low-key ruining your stuff. The soft feeling is actually just a coating that degrades fabric over time. Dryer balls, on the other hand, gently rub and fluff fabric to loosen up stiff fibers. That fluffing action also allows for better air circulation, ensuring even, faster drying and way less static.
Promising review: "These are amazing! Good price, and they have noticeably reduced the amount of dry time needed for each load (the total reduction seems to depend on the fabric). There is no smell and I have never seen any fuzz left on my clothes or linens (even dark loads). After two weeks of daily use, they continue to work as well as day one." —GerardoPrice: $9.98
A setting spray to lock in your look for your long night out. While a lot of setting sprays can be drying, this one has glycerin to help your skin stay hydrated.
Promising review: "I love this setting spray. It's perfect for the summer or honestly any season. My makeup looks fresh and stays in place all day. It has a natural skin like look to it. I always get compliments on my makeup and that's because it's all drugstore products! I highly recommend. Give it a try! I switched from the Elf Micro Mist Matte Setting Spray to this Milani Setting Spray, and I don't regret it." —BiancaPrice: $15.97
A laundry and carpet stain remover because sometimes saving money is as simple as keeping your stuff in good shape for as long as possible.
Promising review: "As a mom of four kiddos six years old and under, I've used this stain remover on everything from newborn poop blowouts, blackberries, blood, grass, and dirt stains. There have been very few stains that could not get out with Tide rescue! It's the only stain remover I use because it beats everything else out there!" —RebekahPrice: $4.97
A Wi-Fi range extender to stretch your network across your entire house. Plug it into a wall socket in the area that's getting spotty coverage, and you'll have a much better connection.
A dental water additive for dogs because you barely take care of your own teeth, so there's no way you're brushing your dog's as often as you should. Just add a splash to their water bowl and boom — fresher breath, cleaner teeth, and less guilt every time they yawn in your face. It's basically mouthwash for dogs, minus the minty sting and the need to explain what fluoride is to a very confused golden retriever.
Promising review: "Our Dachshund's breath had begun to stink terribly as she matured from a puppy. I asked her veterinarian what to do about it and after a thorough teeth and mouth exam revealed no reason for the problem she recommended this product. After the first day using this in Dixie's water dish, I could tell a big difference and she has had fresh breath ever since! 😁" —Medic236Price: $6.58+ (available in two sizes)
A microwave pasta cooker that understands you don't have the bandwidth to boil water after a long day. This thing lets you cook, strain, and serve all in one container without making you worry that you'll fall asleep with the burner on.
Promising review: "I wasn't expecting this thing to be as amazing as it is, it makes super good noodles super fast, and I never have to worry about the water hurting me when I strain, cuz it doesn't happen! Super tough, works like a charm!" —AveryPrice: $14.97
A dinnerware set because, sweetie, it's time to stop eating off cutting boards and paper towels. No need for anything fancy — just a nice and extensive enough set that you don't need to sprint out to buy paper plates 10 minutes before your dinner guests come over.
Promising review: "I love this set of dishes. Such a great deal for the price! The quality completely surpasses the price point. They are super sturdy. I love the matte finish. It makes them look so beautifully rustic. I'll probably be ordering another set." —ElainaPrice: $29.76+ (available in two colors and a three-pack)
A clothing steamer if you quite simply do not have space for an ironing board, nor the patience for the aggravating (and slightly stressful) process of ironing.
Promising review: "This simple, low-cost device works amazingly well. I bought a sport coat from amazon that arrived very wrinkled and had Walmart deliver me the steamer on the same day. By evening, I was able to wear the sport coat, and it looked like it was professionally done!" —JamesPrice: $22.24

People Who Grew Up Wealthy Are Sharing The Moment When They Realized They Were Privileged, And It's Eye-Opening
The lifestyle you grow up in is often the one you become accustomed to, and for those who grew up wealthy, sometimes it's the one you assume everyone has as well. Recently, BuzzFeed Community members who grew up rich shared the "epiphany" moments when they realized they were privileged, and it's incredibly insightful: 1."I was leaving work (a job I did because I was bored), and a coworker asked why I was changing clothes. I said, 'Oh, we're buying another home and signing paperwork.' He looked at me and said that he and his mom have never lived in a house. I didn't tell him that we owned five houses at the time. I didn't learn my lesson, though. Years later, at a new job, I rented an apartment nearby so that I didn't have to commute every day. When speaking to a coworker, I said I was shocked that three beds could fit in 1,000 square feet. He looked at me and said that his family lived in an 850-square-foot home. Then, he said very kindly, 'You were raised a little differently than most people, weren't you?' Humbled. I was completely humbled." —shaysmith3 2."I grew up solidly upper-middle class. I remember going to my friend's home, and she had to sleep in the same room as her mom. I found that so weird." —kmpbnjelly 3."When the guy I was interested in said he finally owned his car. I knew he'd had the car for 8–10 years. I didn't realize that not everyone went into the dealership and paid for a new car in full." —Anonymous 4."When I was a kid, I thought we were poor because our maid only came over three times a week, and I had friends who had live-in staff." —Joe, 68, New York 5."I can't pinpoint when in my adult life I realized I was privileged growing up, but I remember as a child, I'd innocently asked my grandparents, 'Which family is that?' whenever I saw airplanes with names on them. I thought all families had private jets." —Anonymous 6."I had a private garage with all the high-end tools to fix my hot rods when I was 14." —Anonymous 7."I was going to have a sleepover at my friend's house, but I didn't have any clothes or things, so her mom drove us to my home to go pick some things up. My friend came in with me and loudly exclaimed, 'Wow! Your house is so big! That TV is so big! You guys are rich!' I'd never once considered that we were upper-middle class before that moment. I'd always just thought we were in the solid middle. It really opened my eyes to how privileged we were growing up. I still don't feel like our house was wildly fancy or anything big, but it was definitely nicer and newer than many of my friends' houses at the time." —Anonymous 8."When I was in college, we were visiting Florida as part of our swim team winter training. A friend of mine invited me over to visit an aunt who lived nearby. We went out for a boat ride, and I mentioned in passing, 'Oh, this reminds me of Puerto Rico, when my family went there on vacation.' They gave me a surprised look and made a comment that I must be wealthy to have been able to go to Puerto Rico as a kid (this would've been in the '80s). Up until that point, it never occurred to me that people didn't just go on vacation to warm places during the winter. My friend had never even seen a real palm tree in her life." —Anonymous 9."My public elementary and middle schools in the San Francisco Bay Area offered a winter break that was officially called 'Ski Week.' During that week, all of our families would take us skiing or on other vacations during the week of President's Day. Many of us had second homes in Lake Tahoe or other resort towns. The lore was that the school district started offering it because so many parents were taking their kids out during that time. It was kind of an 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em' situation. It wasn't until I got to college that I learned that nobody else got Ski Week growing up. Now, in my 40s, I mention Ski Week sometimes, and nobody who didn't grow up in Marin County knows what I'm talking about!" —jennerator 10."My dad would take his plane and fly my mom and some friends to El Paso from our West Texas town to go out to eat." —Anonymous 11."I always knew that our family had enough money, and I am so grateful for the home that I've grown up in. The first time I realized our family was well-off was when we bought a nice house during the pandemic. It really sank in that I was very privileged when I was talking to a friend, and she told me that her family would be rich when her brother joined the army." —Anonymous, Oklahoma 12."We live in a nice 2,500 square-foot home that we built 27 years ago. I still remember the first Halloween we lived there. One trick-or-treater asked how many people lived here. I told him it was my husband, our daughter, and me. He said, 'Wow, you must be rich.' Now, mind you, I grew up lower-middle class. We didn't take big, fancy vacations or anything. However, it struck me when this kid said that." —blissbednar 13."I thought it was normal that my family went on vacation four times a year, but many of my friends haven't been on a vacation in years. I'm married now, and my parents take my husband and me on trips with the whole family still. My grandparents did that for them, and they want to pass down the tradition." —heyitsmadsss 14."I grew up in an upper-middle-class family, but I didn't realize we were doing better financially than many people. My brother and I went to private schools, and my mother made it very clear that we weren't 'in the league' of other students, whose families were really wealthy. Still, we had a vacation house in a resort town, went to premier summer camps, took private horseback riding lessons, etc. When I was 10, my parents wanted to get out of the city, so we moved to a farm about an hour out of town. It so happened that this was a couple of miles from the summer camp we'd always attended. I remember telling my new friends about how cool it was that camp was so close now. They looked at me incredulously and said that nobody local could afford to go to camp, but that many parents and siblings worked there. That was a big wake-up call for me. I realized that many people didn't have the privilege I did as a kid." —Anonymous 15."A friend in college told me they'd never flown on an airplane before. I straight-up did not believe her. Another person had to break it to me." —ORD2414 "I went to treatment for my alcoholism more than once. One time, the state didn't pay for it, so my parents did. It was around $6,000. My parents are middle-class but good with money and investments. My entire family is supportive. I've heard stories about other people's parents, and it really put me in my place. Some people were completely abandoned, or had to abandon their parents to be safe and sober. I never went hungry, and I never had to worry about the condition my parents were in when I had my friends over. I had stability, which isn't guaranteed to anyone, no matter their socioeconomic situation. Without my family, I might've been unhoused, dead, or in prison." —princesscansuelabananahammock *Cries in broke.* If you grew up wealthier than most, when did you realize you were privileged?

Things To Keep In Your Bag If You're Schvitzing
I run hot. In the winter, in the summer, doesn't matter, I am experiencing a life-long hot flash that never seems to cease unless I'm standing in the walk-in freezer of a convenience store. I run sweaty too. Which doesn't always come with running hot, but in my case does, because the universe loves me. And now, in the spirit of being a good neighbor, I will share my list with you. A handheld, rechargable fan The top of the list and really, the most game-changing item I can suggest is a modest but mighty handheld fan. When I walk around the city, so many iconic women have them, and now I get to join the club. After 20-ish minutes of "research" (that's what we call indecision and frantic scrolling) I opted for this Honhey guy. I knew I needed something with the blades covered, I didn't want it to be too small and I liked that it came in blue. (It comes in a bunch of other colors, too.) The fan is about the size of a smartphone and can be recharged. It works at three speeds and truly is becoming something of an emotional support it from Amazon for $7.99. Or one with a mister For cool air with a light mist, this fan is still a compact, rechargeable option — only it has a water mist feature. Simply fill the handle part with water and enjoy both fresh air and a fresh spritz to keep cool on a hot it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in eight colors). A pack of toilet wipes There is nothing, I tell you, nothing, like already being sweaty and then needing to use a public bathroom and either not having toilet paper or having bad toilet paper. The women of Philly have taught me the joy, relief and sometimes, necessity of carrying your own toilet wipes around. Especially ones with a durable, reusable, hard plastic opening and not that sad little flap that will betray you and have the entire pack dry out. I especially like this set because it comes with a ton of product and a super cute packaging that doesn't scream "BATHROOM WIPES" and could pass for something else in your a single pack from Walmart for $2.68. A single-pack body wipe I can't tell you the number of times I've seen people in the city whip out body wipes, especially during festivals or ball games or general long, outdoor activities. I've started them myself now, especially if I know I'm going to be out of the house for long and can attest to how helpful they are to feel fresher on the go. These come in citrus, lavender and unscented options. Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $14.95 (also available as a 30-pack). A spray hand sanitizer When I'm out in the city and feeling sweaty, my hands get extra clammy and become magnets for dirt and grossness. Also having a little sani spray just makes you feel instantly more refreshed and put together. I suggest (and often see) a spray hand sanitizer to keep in a summer bag — it's easy to share with kids or others, can be sprayed onto a seat or table and you can easily give a spritz to a kind you're looking for the elite option, Touchland hand sanitizers, cost a slightly shocking $10 but truly are chef's kiss. These sprays are rectangular and thin, so they're super easy to sneak in a bag. They literally smell like perfumes and feel so good on the hands and aren't sticky or wet.
