Clean Up With These Five Editors' Choice Deals on Home Necessities

Let's face it: There's nothing all that glamorous about combing the aisles for trash cans, trowels, and wrenches. But these are the things we need, and so long as they're on the shopping list, why not save huge? Our roundup of home and garden deals includes five awesome Editors' Choice deals, including a Rubbermaid trash can, Glad kitchen trash bags, and an 8-piece wrench set. So are you ready to clean up? It's a savings sweep, just for you.

1. Rubbermaid Roughneck 32-Gallon Trash Can
   Store: Home Depot
   Price: $9.97 with in-store pickup
   Lowest By: $15

   Is It Worth It?: Before your sanitation professional picks up the garbage, go to Home Depot and pick up this trash can, thus dodging the $10 shipping charge. And a sturdy garbage can this is, too, with features that include a snap-fit lid and easy-grip handles. But perhaps the best feature of all is the bag cinch, which holds the can liner in place. Think of it: No more diving into a smelly can to retrieve a half-crumpled bag that's slipped off the lip.

2. Ultrafire CREE XML-T6 1,600-Lumen 5-Mode LED Flashlight bundled with a Carrying Holster
   Store: UltraOK via eBay
   Price: $9.78 with $1 s&h
   Lowest By: $2

   Is It Worth It?: Have you seen the light? Let's put it this way: This deal comes in at $2 under the best price we could find for a comparable flashlight and holster purchased separately elsewhere. The light is equipped with a Cree XM-L T6 LED bulb and features an aluminum alloy body, a tail-cap on-off switch, and waterproof construction. It runs on an 18650 Li-ion rechargeable battery or three AAA batteries, but no batteries are included. Note that this product has an estimated delivery date of 2 to 3 weeks.

3. Fiskars Composite Trowel
   Store: Amazon
   Price: 97 cents with orders of $25 or more with free shipping
   Lowest By: $6

   Is It Worth It?: Hey gardeners: Why throw in the towel when you can pick up the trowel, and salvage what's left of the growing season? Amazon offers this deal with orders of $25 or more as part of their new "Add-on Program." (It can only be purchased with an order of $25 or more.) The trowel features nylon/fiberglass composite construction, so you spend less than a buck for a bit of bliss in your bower. What could be better?

4. Glad 13-Gallon Tall Kitchen Trash Bags 100-Pack
   Store: Staples
   Price: $8.99 with free shipping
   Lowest By: $20
   Expires: September 7

   Is It Worth It?: As the old ad slogan goes, "Don't get mad, get Glad." But make sure you get hooked up as a Staples Rewards member first to snag this deal. (It's free to join.) The cost breaks down to 9 cents a bag, and that's the lowest total price we've seen for this quantity of bags. And the last time we checked, you didn't want to throw your money away, right?

5. GearWrench 8-Piece Reversible Ratcheting Combination Wrench Set
   Store: Advance Auto Parts
   Price: $29.99 with in-store pickup
   Lowest By: $40

   Is It Worth It?: Are you ready to ratchet up the savings? The price here is $7 under a similar April mention and tied with a Black Friday mention as the lowest price we've seen. Choose from Standard or Metric, and be sure to choose in-store pickup to avoid the $10.99 shipping fee. These wrenches include a 15-degree offset for increased clearance and compact reversing lever. They're also designed to meet federal torque specifications for standard professional combination wrenches, which means they're plenty strong.
