Psst: Amazon has a secret home goods outlet packed with deals up to 65% off

Big swaths of the country are experiencing freezing temperatures, and in frigid times like these, you'll be glad you thought to protect your outdoor spigots ahead of time. These winter essentials are like socks for your faucets, acting as insulators to help prevent your pipes from freezing — every homeowner's nightmare. This is as low as we've ever seen these for; to install them, just slip the opening over your faucet, twist the drawstring around the cover a few times and pull to tighten.

"[I] bought these because I was tired of replacing the foam ones every year or sooner because of the wind," explained a shopper. "These work great! They take a little time to get adjusted up against the wall, but once on there, they will conform. Nice to be able to reuse them each year."

When it comes to portioning out ingredients, there's no method more accurate than weighing. Scooping, say, flour into a measuring cup can yield wildly different results depending on how loosely or tightly it's packed in there, which is why having a food scale on hand helps ensure consistent results every time. This is one's a fab deal at 50% off, and our price trackers tell us it's never been lower. 

"I love this scale," raved a home cook. "[It's] easy to use and has made using recipes calling for grams, etc. so so easy. ... Size is good; not too big, thin enough to store in a drawer. Very nice."

Unwinding with a hot shower at the end of a long day is one of life's small pleasures — but when the water pressure's wimpy? Yeah, not fun. This rainfall-style shower head can fix that; it has eight spray modes so you can adjust the flow to your liking and even comes with a handheld head to provide a massage-like effect. In short, it's a bit of luxury without the high price tag — in fact, it's never been on sale for less than it is now.

"I'm absolutely in love with this shower!" exclaimed an enthusiast. "It was so easy to install and I love the way it drastically changed the smell and taste of the water in the shower. My hair is growing so much thicker now that the chlorine is being eliminated from my shower water! The water pressure is freaking amazing on the shower head, and I love all of the different settings."

Every kitchen needs a set of knives, and this colorful set is sure to make the process of slicing and dicing a lot more fun. The nonstick blades allow food to slide right off, and each one comes with a protective sheath. You'll get an 8-inch chef's knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch slice knife, 5.5-inch utility knife and 3.5-inch paring knife; in short, just about every type of knife a home cook would use. All that for just 10 bucks, which is as low as this set has ever been marked down to. 

"These knives are my favorite set," gushed a reviewer. "I have had them over a year and they are still just as sharp as when I first bought them. The design hasn't faded or chipped."

Portable? Check. Cordless? Check. Powerful? Check. This small yet mighty handheld meets all of our requirements and then some, thanks to its versatility (as in, sucking up both wet and dry messes), compact size (just 8 pounds) and three-year warranty. Just note that you'll need to purchase batteries separately, but they're compatible with all products in the brand's 12V, 20V and 60V Max line. 

"I mainly use this around my garage; typically to clean out my vehicles," shared a fan. "It's awesome! Great power, small enough to get in and out of small spaces ... and lightweight. Would recommend. Would buy again."

For many of us, the area under our sink is like a black hole filled with countless cleaning products, trash bags, sponges ... and who knows what else. So when we go to retrieve a sponge or bottle of wood cleaner, it takes forever to actually find what we're looking for. No more! These handy organizers help keep things tidy, with different tiers for holding items large and small. The bottom trays also slide out, so you won't have to reach into the depths of your cabinet to grab anything. Oh, and they're currently within a dollar of their lowest price on record. 

"This is a perfect fit for under my sink," said a fan. "It was easy to assemble. Seems pretty sturdy. Only the bottom trays slide out, the top tray is stationary. It comes with adhesive stickers to affix to your cabinet to prevent sliding around. Great way to store your cleaning products or toiletries."

The only thing worse than a morning without coffee? A morning with lukewarm coffee. No thanks. That's why we're so glad this gizmo was invented. It was designed to fit under most cups and mugs and has two temperature settings to choose from. Know someone who loves cozy beverages as much as you? It would make a sweet Valentine's Day gift, just sayin' ... and we've yet to see it dip lower than it is now. 

"Works like a charm," raved a reviewer. "Keeps my coffee warm for hours. Easy to use and does not take up much space on my desk. Sleek and modern-looking."

Is there any type of clutter as aggravating as shoe clutter? Give your doormat a break by storing footwear on this double-decker rack. It'll keep everything orderly and off the floor, and you can even use it to display decorative items (if there's any extra room!). It's made of 100% bamboo and can hold up to 40 pounds, and it's stackable, so you can buy a few while they're down to this low price. 

"My 5-year-old helped me assemble two of these racks, so anyone can do it!" wrote a fan. "Each rack fits nine pairs of adult shoes, and we slide slippers and sandals underneath. We've owned them for a few months and they have held up well and look great!"

Dry those greens in no time, thanks to this highly rated kitchen essential. It's got a large 5-quart capacity (that's a lotta lettuce) and can be used with practically any type of produce. The clear bowl also functions as a serving vessel and has a nonslip bottom to keep it from flying off the counter while in use. Grab it while it's over 40% off — it comes with a lifetime warranty!

"Why have I never had one of these before?!" mused a shopper. "It works so well. I used to use way too many paper towels. This gets herbs and lettuce so dry! Holds up in [the] dishwasher."

Who says breaking down boxes can't be fun? These adorable cloud-shaped cutters make everything from opening packages to letters a breeze, and they automatically retract when not in use for added safety. They can be worn on your keyring so you'll always have one handy, and our price trackers tell us they're down to an all-time low.

"I work in a place where we have to open MANY boxes a day, and of course we have box cutters, but they're clunky and heavy (plus there is never enough for everyone)," explained a buyer. "I decided to take one of these to work with me, and it is so fast with cutting down boxes. Not even just through the tape, but the cardboard itself. It packs a punch for such a little box cutter. Everyone at work was so impressed and ended up getting some for themselves. ... I have been using it nonstop at work for three-plus months now and it's still as sharp as ever. Also love that it can go on a keyring."
