On my radar: A best-selling callus remover for $8, a $9 sweater saver and a mega-popular mascara that's somehow just $5.

I'm a professional deal hunter and I'm adding these 12 under-$25 Amazon buys to my cart (3)

Prior to making a big purchase, I spend hours doing market research, poring over reviews and asking for input from friends, family or experts. However, many of of my favorite purchases were things that I picked up without much thought at all, like a car cleaning gel while I was in a checkout line, or a shockingly flattering under-$10 lipstick I added to my cart to hit a shipping minimum. Sure, impulse shopping might get a bad rap, but sometimes, that's also how you find treasures — or at least the stuff you didn't know existed, especially on Amazon.

Of course, Amazon doesn't make it easy to find the real gems. Some of the best finds are sitting in secret sections and hidden behind filters — and who has time to do all that digging, except your friendly neighborhood professional deal hunter? After combing through thousands of Amazon shopper-fave impulse buys, I put together the 12 you can't miss out on, like a beloved cleaning paste, a fabric shaver that'll make your linty old sweaters look brand new and a gel callus remover that'll get your tootsies sandal season-ready. The best part? They're all under $25.

Stardrops The Pink Stuff Cleaning Paste

$6

This all-purpose paste gets rid of stains on just about anything: walls, countertops, cookware, even your white sneakers.

Shared one cleaning professional: "I am a professional house cleaner and I don’t think I’ll ever want to go without this product again! Nothing else has gotten my oven door clean ... this worked with a little elbow grease. It is completely clean now! It got a pot I have had for 15 years looking new. I cannot wait to use this in my clients' houses.

Lee Beauty Professional Callus Remover for Feet

$8$15Save $7with coupon and code

If your feet are looking anything but ready for sandal season, this No. 1 bestseller might help. After soaking your feet in water, apply the gel formula on your calluses. Wait five minutes, then gently slough off any rough bits with a scraper.

This 5-star reviewer declared: "This works awesome! I used it the first time and my feet are at least 50% better than 10 minutes prior to using it. A couple more times doing it and I am convinced my feet will be like they were 25 years ago. It works well and I'm glad I tried it. Definitely use the scraper after you rinse your feet off. You will be amazed."

Essence Lash Princess Sculpted Volume Mascara

$5

You might've heard of the brand's wildly popular False Lash Effect mascara (also $5), but this iteration is also quickly scaling the bestseller charts. The formula promises to deliver voluminous, va-va-voom lashes — minus the clumps. Amazon shoppers love it so much, over 10,000 tubes were sold in the last month, plus it's amassed over 25,000 5-star reviews.

"This is a fantastic little gem," raved a shopper. "And for the price you can not beat it ... does just as well as $18 brands."

Nexxus Root Lift Thickening Spray

$13$16Save $3

Thanks to a blend of biotin, collagen and keratin, this spray promises to help you achieve Real Housewife-worthy hair minus the sticker shock. Look for no further proof than Kyle Richards herself, who shared her love of the spray in a 2023 livestream.

"This works so well!" shared another fan, who rated the spay a perfect five stars. "It makes my hair look so full and feel so soft. I've tried a lot of products, which cost much more than this, and they didn't work. I also like the subtle smell."

TubShroom Tub Hair Catcher

$13$20Save $7

Skip the snake: This gizmo is designed to catch hair before it potentially clogs your drain. It's covered in holes, so water will still flow freely.

"Ew," declared one grossed-out shopper. "Just... ew. I knew we were washing a lot of hair down the drain, but this thing proved it. After snaking the drain on a whim, I was shocked at how much hair I pulled out... . We bought this, and wow — it's full after every shower. It's gross but effective, grabbing hair filled with soap scum. It has managed to get my husband to clean up his hair instead of sticking it to the shower walls, so that's a plus."

Hanes EcoSmart Full-Zip Hoodie

$18$24Save $6

With the quality stamp of Hanes and made with a cotton blend (that includes 5% recycled plastic bottles), this hoodie is built to last.

"I'm a night nurse and it gets freezing in the hospital at 3 to 5 am," shared a happy customer. "I needed something lightweight that wasn't bulky to keep me warm. The best thing I purchased. It's soft, even after many washings, and warm."

Conair Fabric Shaver and Lint Remover

$9$15Save $6

If the last few months left your sweaters looking a little worse for wear, this compact fabric shaver will quickly get them into fresh-off-the-rack shape. Just gently glide it on particularly linty spots. Bobbles, begone!

"Got a new-to-me couch and the stitching was pilling," divulged one of over 90,000 5-star reviewers. "This shaver made it look so much better with no damage to the leather. This would have taken me twice as long with a pair of scissors."

Mr. Coffee Mug Warmer

$20with Prime

Slow sipper? This genius gizmo keeps your morning joe (or tea, if you prefer) perfectly toasty for as long as you need. No more sad, fresh-out-the-microwave coffee.

One happy reviewer (out of over 35,000) sang its praises: "I'm known to get distracted and take awhile to drink my coffee in the morning. Now, sitting my mug on this after making a cup, it stays warm and ready, no matter how long it takes me to drink it. Such a simple thing, but so great to have on hand."

Purriko Refrigerator Deodorizer

Smelly fridge? This cylindrical gizmo can keep unpleasant (or just particularly potent) odors away.

"Having boiled eggs and onions in the refrigerator at the same time can be horrific," said one fan. "Baking soda cannot mask the smells, so I bought this to try, and to my surprise, it actually does make the refrigerator smell fresh. ... I would give it 10 stars if I could."
