15 Random (But Useful) Under $20 HomeGoods Finds

You’re searching for a smart way to save more money on practical products like kitchen utensils and soft towels. Department and specialty stores have sales — but you may still pay too much for your favorite brand names.

As the name implies, HomeGoods is known for its stellar selection of home goods. You already know the retailer for its higher-end furnishings and artsy accents. But have you checked out its stock of useful everyday items at affordable prices?

We scoured the store’s aisles for the most budget-friendly buys. And bonus, these helpful homeware finds are all under $20.
