Quick reminder that Prime Big Deal Days ends tonight, October 7.

Yesterday I sent a list of my top picks for gardening and home-keeping products that make things easier on your hands and back. (You can see that list here if you missed my email.)

Today, I'm sharing 5 items I just bought. I'm a big bargain hunter, so I add products to my cart throughout the year and jump on them when they're at their lowest price. (My "saved" cart is kinda ridiculous.) Here's what just went on sale and YES, these are the lowest prices so far this season!

1. ​Arber organic insecticide - I've tried a few different insecticides for my houseplants and landed on this one a couple years ago. It's super effective for controlling gnats, aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, and spider mites, and there's no harm in using it as a preventative in winter. A single small bottle makes 16 gallons and lasts at least a year. (36% off)
2. ​Big Green Leaves indoor plant food - I've been using this all year and really like it. I rescued a houseplant from the clearance shelf that was super pale and sparse, fed it this fertilizer, and within weeks it started growing lots of big, dark green leaves! For houseplants I prefer granular plant food because they're less messy, and this organic sea kelp-enhanced fertilizer is easy to mix into a watering can. (20% off)
3. ​Plastic spring clamps - I use the 4.5- and 6-inch clamps to clip frost and shade cloth to my low tunnels and attach covers to my raised beds. In a pinch I also use them to seal bags of potting soil. They are very strong and very sturdy! The price is at a 90-day low right now. (15% off)
4. ​Swedish dish cloths - I use these all over the house and like them way more than sponges or paper towels. Also: always black. It doesn't show stains, which (if you've used the cute patterned ones before) are nearly impossible to get out. (20% off, lower than Subscribe & Save price)
5. ​Amallow grass-fed tallow - I LOVE this stuff and it's replaced all my lotions. A little goes a long way and moisturizes skin incredibly well. I've always used the orange creamsicle scent (which smells sooo good) but I decided to branch out and try vanilla latte. (There's also an unscented version if you're sensitive.) (40% off)

So, that's the "addendum" to yesterday's list. These are nothing flashy, just simple things I use day to day at home.

Remember, deals end tonight!
