There aren’t enough hours in the day, which is why smart retailers sell us back our time. Time can be purchased in five- and ten-minute intervals or by the second. It takes the form of kitchen gadgets that can cut down meal prep, storage solutions that put the contents of every cabinet at arm’s length. Time-saving is money-saving is mind-saving, but many products billed as solutions provide limited chronological relief.

We’ve done the hard work for you and compiled a list of 35 Amazon buys too practical to pass up.
