It’s a fact of life: Having a place of your own comes with a slew of home improvements. And, technically, there’s always more you can do.

While it’s fun to have projects on your to-do list, it can also add up fast. Luckily, Amazon has the tools you need to help you work your way down your list without blowing your budget — and it’s all thanks to the mega-retailer’s secret overstock outlet. You can peruse through the massive hush-hush outlet for tons of must-haves to help you fix up your home just the way you like it.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more.)

The Shark just could not handle this and the regular household dirt,” a five-star fan said. “Works like a champ, my wife loves it, and so do I when she lets me take it out to the garage. 2″ hose never clogs and there’s a variety of attachments that come with it.”
