When it comes to products that are awesome and affordable, word gets out fast. I know I’ve perpetuated some of this rapid information spread, because when I whip out something cool and someone says, “Oh, I love your wallet!” or, “Where did you get that slick kitchen tool?” I usually brag about the great deal I got on it. This probably wouldn’t fly if I was one of the denizens of The Gilded Age, but, fortunately for my mostly-sweatpants wardrobe, I’m not. So I’m free to brag on my own deal-finding skills. And that kind of bragging works. Sometimes people pull out their phones and buy the thing, right then and there. Somehow, even though I know this, I still find it amazing how wildly popular things like these 45 cheap products can become by word of mouth.
