25 Target Products You'll Use All The Time
A four-pack of reusable microfiber cleaning cloths, because cleaning everything around the house with paper towels is more than just bad for your wallet and the environment — it's also incredibly annoying when you run out. With these handy-dandy cloths around, you'll never board that particular struggle bus, because they can be used and washed up to 300 (!) times. Pack contains a wood cleaning cloth, a glass cleaning cloth, a bathroom cleaning cloth and a kitchen cleaning review: "Excellent cloths! I was hesitant to buy these because I usually get the large, cheaper pack of microfiber cloths that are all the same. First impression is that these cloths are higher quality, and the designations do make a difference. Our mirrors and counters are cleaner than ever. I used the same diluted vinegar cleaner that I always use. I'm even back to buy another pack, but they are sold out. Hope they restock." —MrsMRobinson16Price: $13.97 A FoodSaver vacuum sealer for anyone who feels like their food seems to go bad almost instantly. (Like, maybe on the way home from the grocery store?) You can use this sealer's custom settings to seal any type of food to keep it around longer. Not just meat — try it with fruit and vegetables, bites?? The options are limitless (and delish)!

Would love to buy more if came in more colors." —Ab28Price: $35 (available in sizes XS—4X and three colors; all sizes not available in all colors) A Keurig hot/iced coffee maker that has single-serve and carafe options, and will actually probably save you its complete price within months once you start skipping your daily coffee shop coffee. I know, I know, your barista will miss you. I'm sure they'll figure out how to carry on, somehow. Promising review: "I love this coffee duo. It's wonderful to have the option of a cup or pot of coffee. I highly recommend this item." —MaryPrice: $199.99 A portable media projector, because you have a conundrum: you love watching movies on the big screen. Yet, you hate the movie theater, because it's filled with sticky floors, long bathroom lines, exorbitantly expensive snack foods, and people who are just, like, having a casual conversation about work in the middle of the movie's big climax. Solution? This wonderful machine and a bare wall. Turn your home into your perfect theater — now, only YOU get to decide if you're going to have a conversation about Teri from Accounting in the middle of a film! Plus, it has built-in speakers, so you don't even need a separate sound bar (unless you want one).Promising review: "By far the best purchase ever. What can I say. Picture quality is amazing. Sound quality is great. Very well made with high-quality materials. Very simple to use. Exactly as described. Nothing more to say other than if you are looking for an amazing projector at an amazing price…. Look no further." —SI440Price: $99.99 An odor and stain eliminator that I actually hope you won't have to use very often at all.

Promising review: "This is a really great purchase because it's color safe, which means my rugs and furniture remain vibrant even after use. Not only that, but it's safe for pets and kids too, giving me much-needed peace of mind. It totally eliminates stains, which is fantastic for a house full of pets. Love that it's certified gentle and safe, yet super effective. Highly recommended!" —Tt99Price: $29.49 A two-tier vinyl storage stand, because did you know that if you store your vinyl improperly (i.e. stacked up in a big, teetering pile next to your turntable), they can become warped Unplayable! Is that the fate you want for your special purple vinyl version of Midnights?? I didn't think so! This stand stores your records in a correct upright position, so you can finally take proper care of all your most amazing used record store finds. Promising review: "My collection has gotten big enough that I had been looking for a better storage option for a while when I got these. I like that they're sturdy, metal versus mdf, and that they act as a display as well. I also love that they are easily movable and small enough that I can rearrange them as needed in the future." —AMPrice: $69.99 A 7.5-quart Instant Pot that basically does it all: It's a pressure cooker, rice cooker, slow cooker, steamer, and sautér, and you can find a literally infinite number of amazing recipes online. It's kind of like having your own tiny assistant chef who tackles the nitty-gritty details of the meal, so you can be free to handle some real "big picture" stuff (i.e. getting sucked into some eye makeup tutorials on TikTok until dinner time). Promising review: "Life changing! I use this bad boy a few times a week and it's fantastic!! Definitely a nice upgrade from our older model!" —NChristinePrice: $119.99 (originally $129.99) A bottle of E.l.f.

I've used high end products and none of them compare to this affordable amazing primer! If you're hesitant, just try it and you'll be impressed!" —AngelaPrice: $10 An easy-to-clean menstrual cup to avoid the monthly tampon tax. The cup is designed for normal to heavy flows, and can fit as much period blood as 3–4 tampons. It also lasts up to 10 years, so you'll definitely get your money's worth. Promising review: "I've been wanting to give this cup a try and this was my first time trying it. Let's just say I FREAKING LOVE IT! Please understand you have to be patient when inserting it (it has that in the directions too). There are three different ways of inserting it so you have to figure out what works best for you. I was skeptical because of some of the reviews but by getting the right size and taking my time (she's delicate ya know :-) ) I can't even tell that it's in there! A proper seal will guarantee no leaks. Trust me." —KP KP KPPrice: $29 A 12-pack of stain remover wipes to keep in your purse, so spilling tomato sauce on your nice shirt when you're out at dinner no longer involves a race to the bathroom, and then walking around all night with a soaked (and possibly still stained!) shirt.

I have tried tons of different patches and to me, Hero is hands-down most effective at pulling the most gunk out of open zits. After years of blowing money on creams and washes that basically did nothing, I am glad to finally have these patches to count on. Promising review: "Hero is the only brand of pimple patches that actually work for me. These pimple patches are part of my necessity items in my bathroom drawer and I carry a few with me when I travel. One patch will help dry a pimple up and these patches work fast. No more popping, picking or scarring!" —VolMom2025Price: $9.79+ (available in two sizes) A flying insect trap for anyone who feels like fruit flies are basically your eternally uninvited roommates. Give them their walking papers with this trap, which uses a light and a sticky pad to eliminate them without using any harsh sprays. Promising review: "I was going to return this because I hadn't seen any bugs in it in after several days. Checked it after a month and it was full of tiny gnats and a fly. So glad I didn't give up.

We pack them when we travel, and it's usually first on my packing list. During the summer, we sleep with windows open, so it helps block out the sounds of crickets.

Applied comm rules roost, Sci dips in first list cutoffs
M umbai: The first merit list cutoffs for this year's UG admissions, released Tuesday, saw professional commerce courses retaining their high ground in colleges across Mumbai. At the same time, basic science courses in some colleges saw a downturn compared to last year's benchmarks. The preference for career-based courses, which colleges have rolled out in recent years, is seeing a rising trend too. "There's a clear shift toward professional programmes," said Vijay Dabholkar, principal, Jai Hind College. "Science courses have seen declining interest across MU." He said students prefer shorter instruction hours and quicker career pathways offered by BMS and BBA, which allow time for internships, part-time jobs, or even entrepreneurial ventures. Vijay Dabholkar, principal, Jai Hind College, said over 40% of applicants this year came from outside Mumbai, pushing up self-financed and entrance-based courses' cutoffs. R A Podar College saw minor increases in most cutoffs, with accounting and finance receiving over 800 applications for 60 seats. "More parents are inquiring about pairing professional courses like CA or ACCA with degree programmes," said Dr Vinita Pimpale. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Dark Truth Nobody Talks About! Expertinspector Click Here Undo Electives such as behavioural economics are also seeing higher uptake, she said. Mithibai College which introduced a BSc in Health Sciences this year has received around 250 applications for 60 seats, said principal Krutika Desai. K P B Hinduja College academic advisor Minu Madlani highlighted a rising trend in students seeking real-world application and skill-based education. "The 90% cutoff reflects this demand," she said. Parag Ajagaonkar, principal of N M College, noted a rise in demand for all commerce-related programmes including BAF, management and finance. Science cutoffs were spread across newly-minted programmes. At Ramnarain Ruia College, biochemistry cutoff, for instance, closed at 64%, down from 74.3% last year. Principal Anushree Lokur said science cutoffs, especially for courses such as biochemistry and computer science, have dropped. "Science students focus on entrance exams like JEE and NEET, so their board marks aren't always high." New-age programmes at Jai Hind College such as Bachelor in Digital Strategy (BDS) and International Accounting (BIA) saw high competition, with over 400-600 applications for just 60 seats. However, biotechnology continued to attract top scorers, with the first list closing at 94.6% at Ruia college. Psychology, microbiology, and statistics were popular too. "Students are increasingly moving away from traditional courses to self-financed programmes," said St Xavier's College principal Dr Rajendra Shinde. He pointed out the BA cutoff dipped from 92.33% to 90% while BA in Psychology-English rose from 91.83% to 93.33%.
