Take a look around any brick-and-mortar store, and it probably won’t be too hard to find empty shelves. Retail shops have a limited amount of space available — so once an item is out of stock, it likely won’t be back until the next delivery arrives. Amazon, however, has tons of distribution centers that are filled with clever products — so if Amazon has trouble keeping some of these items in stock, you know they’re absolutely worth the money.

With that in mind, I’ve made sure to select only the most clever, useful products to feature in this list — like containers specially made for bacon grease and mineral oils to help keep your cutting boards from splitting. The only downside? You’ll have to act fast — because, like I said, Amazon is having trouble keeping these items in stock.

1
