00:00So here's a weird question, where do you actually hide your emergency cash?
00:04Under the mattress? In a sock drawer? Yeah, that's the first place anybody looks.
00:11I went down a rabbit hole this week testing diversion safes, you know, everyday objects
00:16that secretly unscrew and hide your stuff in plain sight, and honestly, some of these are
00:20shockingly convincing. These are the top 5 I'd actually keep in my house, and I track down the
00:25best prices on every single one. Starting with number 5, and this one made me laugh out loud,
00:31it's an Aquafina water bottle. Except the bottom twists off and there's a hidden compartment inside.
00:38It even comes with a food-grade smell-proof bag, so whatever your stashing stays sealed and scent-free.
00:44Leave it in the fridge, toss it in a gym bag, put it in your car cup holder, nobody gives
00:48a water
00:49bottle a second glance. It's $10.26, over 3600 sold, and a 4.9 rating. For 10 bucks,
00:58that's a really clever little hiding spot. Number 4 is for the people who want something
01:03with a bit more class. It's a hidden book safe, heavy metal construction, made to look like a
01:09classic hardcover, and it comes with both a key and a combination lock. This isn't a flimsy cardboard
01:15thing, it's got real weight to it, so it actually feels like a safe. Slide it onto a bookshelf
01:20between your other books and it just vanishes. At $28.87 it's the priciest pick here, but it's also
01:28the most secure. 4.9 stars, nearly 4,000 sold, it earns that price tag.
01:35Coming in at number 3, the Fruit Jar Diversion Safe.
01:38This one lives in your pantry, looks exactly like a jar of preserves, and unscrews to reveal a
01:44genuinely roomy compartment, big enough for keys, a stack of cash, jewelry, whatever.
01:49It also ships with a food-grade smell-proof bag, which is a nice touch. It's $11.55,
01:564,000 sold, sitting at 4.7 stars. If you want the biggest interior space of anything on this list,
02:03this is your pick. Number 2 is the one that genuinely fooled me, a lightbulb diversion safe.
02:10The base unscrews and there's a hollow compartment inside, and here's the thing,
02:14who searches a lightbulb? Toss it in a garage drawer, a utility closet, a box of spare bulbs,
02:20and it's basically invisible. It's the cheapest thing on this list at $5.54, with over 4,600 sold
02:28and a 4.9 rating. At that price I'd honestly buy 2 or 3 and spread them around.
02:34And my number 1 pick is the food can diversion safe, because it's the perfect blend of price,
02:39believability, and space. It looks like a regular can sitting in your kitchen cupboard,
02:44the bottom unscrews smoothly, and the inside holds a surprising amount of cash or small valuables.
02:50The whole trick is that it's boring, and boring is exactly what you want.
02:55$7.12, nearly 5,000 sold, 4.9 stars. It's the highest-rated, best-selling one here for a
03:03reason, this is the one I'd buy first. I've dropped links to all five of these down in
03:07the description, so grab whichever one fits your place best. If this gave you a better
03:12hiding spot than your sock drawer, hit that like button and subscribe, I test stuff like
03:16this every week.
03:18Thanks for watching, and I'll catch you in the next one.
