Oakland, was a long-known mar-

Want cheapskates
to spend? Hawk
gizmos that save
By Anne D’Innocenzio
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — How do you get penny pinchers to spend


these days? Pitch products that promise to save them money.
Demand is rising for kitchen and bath gadgets that squeeze
out that last blob of toothpaste and help get the suds out of tiny
slivers of soap.
Marketers of these gizmos tout how the pennies they save
by reducing waste can add up. Retailers are stocking up.
During the Great Recession, penny pinchers got even cheap-
er, while showing the newly frugal how it’s done. Cheapskate
gadgets may be a sign of the times, but they’re also a sign of
how product makers and retailers are trying to get people back
in the spending habit.
Big companies like Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and The Container
Store and a longtime “As Seen on TV” pitchman are stocking
up on items claiming to help people save a buck, such as:
• Caps that keep the fizz in opened soda cans.
• Digital day counters: Gizmos that count the days and hours
food has been in the refrigerator, to help keep track of when
that milk might be in danger of going bad.
• New, stylish versions of pants extenders that let people
wear their clothes even when they gain or lose weight.
A.J. Khubani, the man behind many “As Seen on TV” gadg-
ets such as the PedEgg foot scraper, is making cheapskate
gimmicks a priority at his company Telebrands, one of the
nation’s top direct-response TV marketing companies.
More than half of Telebrands’ gadgets, sold online and at
90,000 stores, are now focused on helping shoppers be cheap.
Khubani, who has been traveling around the country to meet
inventors, is speeding up the number of new products he’s
launching to every 30 days from every 60 days.
