If you don’t want to spend all of you hard-earned cash at the dentist, we don’t blame you. We would love to have teeth as white as snow, but we would much rather blow our life-savings on the important things in life, like clothes, shoes, and handbags. Duh! So how is a shopoholic supposed to get a perfect smile and afford the season’s latest trends? Easy. Try these at-home teeth whitening hacks.

Bleaching trays, laser treatments, drugstore strips, and all the other ridiculously expensive whitening methods are great, but they can be awfully pricey and time consuming. They also aren’t totally necessary, when you have the right tricks.

We’ve been pretty envious of all the gals out there with pearly white teeth, so we went on a mission to find ways to get the same bright smile at a lower price point. When paired with good hygiene, floss, and a little bit of whitening toothpaste, these hacks will do the trick, so you can afford the more fun things in life. Who likes going to the dentist anyways? Click through our slideshow and find a hack that works for your chompers. Your wallet (and closet) will thank you.
