Money saving gizmos that actually work

A praise thread for items that unexpectedly did the job
My first suggestion was a little product Mrs O found. She was forever having to throw out tee-shirts because of little holes towards the bottom at the front (some after only a couple of wears). She came across a little product called hole (with an accent) button covers. I said it was a load of old rubbish but she sent the money off (or rather she borrowed my credit card) and in return for her £10 she got 3 little pieces of silicon that apparently sit over the top of your jeans button.
Much to my surprise the flamin things actually worked. She has not had a single hole in a tee shirt since so overall they have saved money due to not damaging her tee shirts.

I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!
