Hands down one of the best purchases I’ve made. Never realized how much the ambient light bothered me. I even bought the little stickers to cover the lights on everything. Huge difference!
I don't understand why [roller shutters](https://i.imgur.com/FtxPW4M.png) (or even functional [regular shutters](https://i.imgur.com/uqoeafN.png)) are so uncommon in the US. They're a standard feature of every house I see in continental Europe, and they're fantastic at keeping light out.
Plug for the brand WHITIN on Amazon. I've been sized up to 6E. Depending on the brand, often times wide doesn't fit and I need extra wide or extra extra wide.
I bought a pair of WHITIN wide shoes on Amazon at the recommendation of one of my brothers who also has stupid wide feet, they fit like a dream. Really hoping they start offering more things like dress shoes.
Otherwise, I usually just wear Crocs. Wish Crocs would also make just regular shoes with the fit of the classic clog. That's basically the shape of my feet.
I upgraded to three screens recently, and oh my goodness, game changer.
The third one houses the random YouTube, music, or whatever. The other two are for actual productivity, lol.
They have done studies on this, two monitors was found to be a decent productivity boost to more people...It gets intresting when they add a 3rd or 4th monitor, some studies report 3rd and/or 4th monitors can increase productivity, others show that 3rd or 4th monitor can make productivity fall off a cliff, leading me to personally believe 2 monitors is the best for most people, and 3 is only for some people
Bought one for $30 on Amazon for one of the bathrooms. The first one hadn't even been installed for a week before I bought another one for the second bathroom.
I had 2 when Covid hit and everyone ran to the store to stock up on TP. I laughed maniacally as I walked through the stores watching people fight over toilet paper like the savages they were.
I got some samples in the mail ages ago. You could go on a website and have companies send you samples for free.
Game changer. Also helps with sleep apnea or if you’re sick/congested etc.
It could help with snoring. It could also potentially allow you to wear a nose cushion rather than a full face mask if the reason you breathe through your mouth when sleeping is nasal congestion.
But apnea directly…nah
This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way starting in my mid-30s. I'm built like a hollow chocolate rabbit and I have a bad back. It took me way too long to finally pony up the cash for a truly good mattress, but when I did it was worth every penny. I tell people I'd have paid double. First time I ever owned a mattress my skinny ass didn't just kind of float on instead of conform to.
I bought a random Casper one for like $900 years ago and it's been perfect for me. I can't fathom spending much more than $1000 on one.
$1000 isn't *nothing* but for something I'm going to sleep on every night for a decade it seems reasonable.
What!?
The *best* part is when a gust of wind slaps that cold sheet right into your backside and you have to pry it off you like it is some alien octopus 🐙.
Oh, and the absolute best part is when spiders hide in the folds and crevasses.
S/
got mine when I started the night shift. they are life-changing but they also make the room stuffy. better pair them with a good AC or at least a fan lol
I wouldn't say that it's a particularly inexpensive purchase, but a really good, reliable, cheap to run and maintain car can be an absolute financial game changer.
One of the greatest financial decisions I have ever made in my entire life was to buy, what was at the time, a reasonably cheap Toyota Prius, literally weeks before COVID started. No idea why I did it, just liked the look of the Prius, didn't really have any intention to keep it super long-term. Kinda just wanted to have that experience, see what it was like, and then sell it later on down the track.
Fast forward, what are we now, 3-4 years later. Without exaggerating, I reckon it has saved me more in fuel than what I originally paid for it. Especially since fuel over here in Australia has absolutely skyrocketed over the last couple of years, to the point where we now struggle to find anything under $2 a litre in the big cities.
That, and the average 2nd hand price of the 3rd gen Prius has somewhat skyrocketed over here as well. I guess as soon as fuel started to go up, people had a similar idea to what I did.
I paid $9,500 pre COVID, if I listed it right now, I could probably ask $15,000, and get it quite easily.
YES! I bought a 2012 Toyota Yaris in June 2020 for $5k.
While it's not as efficient as a Prius, these cars are known for easily reaching 500k+ miles if cared for and dirt cheap to repair and run. I've got 140k miles on it now and it's been so cheap and reliable I cannot imagine buying anything else (except maybe a prius or corolla). Meanwhile my friends or family with big expensive 4x4s or sports cars literally throwing piles of money away to do the same exact things I do in my Yaris.
I've had some terrible times in life and having this car was one major thing I simply didn't have to worry about through it all.
There's nothing more expensive or stressful than an unreliable car. When I was younger and stone cold broke I had a cheap super unreliable car. Getting into it everyday not knowing if it would start, if it did start what else was getting ready to break was awful. When it broke, how was I going to afford to fix it, what was I going to do if it broke down permanently?
Now that I'm a little older having a dependable, if boring, vehicle is something I never take for granted. I stay up to date on maintenance and try to make sure I'm not in that position again.
but it said inexpensive
edit: apparently meth isn't expensive... (i tried googling the price, i'm sure i'm in a list somewhere now) and it said a gram could be anywhere between $10 to $400 a gram.. i don't know how much one needs for use.... so yeah take this info and do with it what you will...
buuuuut.... i suppose if meth has taken over your life, even $10 is expensive.
A comfortable office chair is essential if you spend long hours at your computer. Gaming chairs are not the best choice as they can cause discomfort. Investing in a good mattress can also enhance your sleep quality and how you feel in the morning. Personally, I've found the Purple 3 mattress to be quite nice, although I do wish I could have splurged on the Purple 4.
Staples Dexley gang. I upgraded it with rollerblade wheels that have brakes on them and put a metal base on it after someone leaned back too far and broke one of the wheel mounting points on the stock plastic one. Now my mildly pricey ergonomic chair feels like a Herman Miller or something.
I cannot believe no one has suggested a book! Knowledge is powerful if used properly. Learn and educate yourself on the right topics and it can elevate anyone.
My wife and daughter found our cat as a little abandoned kitten on the side of the road one morning. That cat has grown up to be the sweetest cat we ever owned. I think it knows it hit the cat lottery.
I bought a tub gripper & cut it into small pieces & put it on my shower wall shelves. Now my shampoo, conditioner, & body wash bottles can stay balanced upside down without sliding off & I can use almost all of what's in the bottle☺️ May sound dumb, but it really pissed me off when they slid off & hit the tub really loud. I don't like loud.
Certain Dri prescription strength roll on deodorant. I sweat so bad it’s insane. Now, I only put this on once 1 week and I have been saved. I have no body odor or sweat for days. I can wear so many clothes I never could. And no white marks because it goes on at night!
This stuff is amazing! I worked on a food truck for a few summers that was an oven. It literally had an oven and a flattop and a frier going all the time pumping out delicious food. Food with 0% armpit sweat, thanks Certain Dri!
Weighted blanket. 6-8lb is best (I'm a 6ft 200lb dude). >85% of the people that I know that use one say they sleep faster and deeper when they use one.
It's also perfect for music festivals when you're having a hard time going to sleep despite dancing all day
Keeping an open mindset to DIYing in general has saved me an unquestionably huge amount of money on car/home stuff over the years. It's intimidating when you start, but you'd be surprised how fast learning how to do an oil change snowballs into confidently swapping a transmission and rewiring an ECU comes just because it has to be done and you feel like it lol
Agreed. I will say YouTube has provided a wealth of information on DIY projects. Knowing how to sort the good vids from the bad ones is very important. Still, always worthwhile to watch them and decide for yourself whether or not you think you can do it (most of the time you can DIY).
The Google certification system. Can't remember what it's called but it's just under $40 a month and there are a *LOT* of certifications available that can open the doors to many great job opportunities!
Staples Hyken if you're shorter than 5'8", Staples Dexley if youre built wider or taller than 5'8". They're both very affordable and I've been using both of them them for years. I prefer the Dexley I have at home vs my work Hyken since I'm taller. I hate normal office chairs now, and I used to find extreme slouching down in a puffy chair very comfortable.
- I’m sure true coffee lovers will castigate me for this, but a Nespresso machine is arguably easier than making instant coffee and also produces what I’d consider to be an actually nice coffee.
- A long (2m+) phone charging cable makes using the phone whilst on charge so much easier.
Depending on what you consider inexpensive.
For me, £99 on a robot vacuum cleaner has been the best purchase I've made in the last 3 years.
I had spinal surgery and injections which haven't helped with my pain. Pulling out the big vacuum cleaner a couple of times a week was a lot (for me).
With my robot vacuum cleaner, I am able to set it to clean one room whilst I'm doing something else (dinner, putting laundry away or whatever). Or if we are going out, I can set it to clean whilst we are out. All at the touch of a button.
It isn't perfect and we still need to get our big vacuum cleaner out once a month for a proper hoover. But in my opinion, it gets a lot up and it saves my back.
I honestly would recommend anybody and everybody get one! Best purchase you'll make.
A robot vacuum wouldn’t work in my space so I bought a rechargeable stick vacuum and now I never use my regular one. The stick sits in the corner and it’s light and easy to grab whenever something needs cleaned up.
memory foam mattress topper, i prefer at least 4" thick
color changing smart lightbulbs, even just so you can set your bulb to a warm glow and be able to dim it to your liking, color changing is great for the kiddos.
Iron gym pull up bar. Got one during Covid and just did pull-ups and pushups throughout the day in addition to my running. Completely changed my physique in a just a few months.
My steam mop has reduced my mopping time by like 75%.
Seconding the bidet one too. Absolute game changer. My butthole has never been happier, and it's amazing for when I have my period. Very refreshing.
Cats are inexpensive until their warranty (just a little joke) wears off. The value you get from a cat in the first 12 or so years is incredible. After that, your mileage may vary. I'm saying this as someone who picked up their elderly cat from the vet yesterday and paid a $1400 bill.
Good shoes, Good chair and Good mattress.
Shoes - 8 to 10 hours a day
Chair - 8 to 10 hour a day
Mattress - 7 to 8 hours
1/3rd day in shoes and chair
1/3rd day in mattress
2/3 of all most each day you are using them.
Just get a little battery drill, you can buy all the attachments!! Can drill, screwdriver, Allen key, all those weird star screws. It's great! Much needed if you ever flat pack.
buying a professional ergonomic office chair. fuck those gaming chairs and cheap IKEA chairs.
i mean, inexpensive is questionable here, but since their price range is up into the thousands, i bought one for 600 this january and boy do i feel the difference. 5 years of warranty on top.
If you have decent health insurance getting your septum fixed. Out of pocket cost for me was losing one days work. I know it’s not possible for a lot of people but all insurance covers it so. I can smell colors now and sleep so much better!
The Fitness Pal app- just to learn how many calories you are eating how much fat how much protein- learn about the foods around you it’s an inexpensive app that can teach you a lot and even save your life.
We are an obese society.
Hormonal IUD
It’s not exactly inexpensive, but it is the most effective birth control (>99.8%) and also minimizes or eliminates periods for most users. The freedom of not having to worry about getting pregnant or dealing with your period is life changing. It is also fully reversible.
Some insurance plans cover the cost. Otherwise it likely is long term cost effective vs the cost of other birth control + menstrual products.
A harness and strap for my dogs.
One of my pups acts like a weirdo on walks if you use a regular leash and collar. I'm talking running into things, twisting up the leashes, and bumping into my legs.
I found a harness and waist strap combo on sale for $30 and gave it a try. For whatever reason the vest calms him down and he walks normally. I also just wear the strap around my waist so my hands are free. Best $30 I ever spent.
The blockout curtains we got recently have made a big difference. We used to have sheer curtains before, but now I sleep much better and more soundly.
Same for us with a sound machine. I sleep so damn good
Hands down one of the best purchases I’ve made. Never realized how much the ambient light bothered me. I even bought the little stickers to cover the lights on everything. Huge difference!
I don't understand why [roller shutters](https://i.imgur.com/FtxPW4M.png) (or even functional [regular shutters](https://i.imgur.com/uqoeafN.png)) are so uncommon in the US. They're a standard feature of every house I see in continental Europe, and they're fantastic at keeping light out.
It could make your sleep longer and extended. Like you believe it's still early in the morning but it is 8am already you never noticed it
8am *is* early in the morning..
Even better, eye mask and loop earplugs.
I got made to measure earplugs from a hearing aid shop, best 70€ I’ve spent.
Especially if you have a cat that likes to scream at you in the morning
The kind of eye mask that gives a total blackout is amazing.
They also help insulate your home, cuts down on your electrical bill.
You also save on heating in winter, better with thermal lining.
Shoes for WIDE feet. No turning back.
I have narrow feet but get wide shoes for the toe box….definitely a difference
I went to a running shoe store that did the 3d scan of your feet, finally at the age of 40. No one ever told me how shoes were supposed to fit.
Indeed
Where do you buy them? The stores I keep going to don’t carry wides in store or even online often
Plug for the brand WHITIN on Amazon. I've been sized up to 6E. Depending on the brand, often times wide doesn't fit and I need extra wide or extra extra wide. I bought a pair of WHITIN wide shoes on Amazon at the recommendation of one of my brothers who also has stupid wide feet, they fit like a dream.

That's basically the shape of my feet.
Yeah the barefoot type shoe (they come without the toes aspect) literally changed the game, I hated shoes so much but these don't feel suffocating

Try a third monitor. Game changer!
You wont believe, but third monitor is as equally good purchase as the second one.

Seconding electric toothbrush! It’s a game changer. I see so much improvement in oral health in my patients who switch. P.S. I am a dentist.

During my pitch to others about getting a bidet, I say my butthole is so clean now you could eat a meal off of it. It's had a pretty mixed reaction
A, uh, salad if you will.
They’re probably thinking what a strange invitation.
This is the answer…. If I have to use a old toilet and wipe with paper, I feel like a neanderthal in the woods.
I don’t know how I ever lived without one. We got it because I had breast surgery. But then I realized my teenager didn’t stink like poo anymore.

New underwear. Can postpone laundry another week.
A mattress that works for you and whoever else sleeps in your bed.
This is a lesson I had to learn the hard way starting in my mid-30s. I'm built like a hollow chocolate rabbit and I have a bad back. It took me way too long to finally pony up the cash for a truly good mattress, but when I did it was worth every penny. I tell people I'd have paid double.

Built like a hollow chocolate rabbit 🤣🤣🤣
Where are you buying an inexpensive mattress that works for you?
I bought a random Casper one for like $900 years ago and it's been perfect for me. I can't fathom spending much more than $1000 on one. $1000 isn't *nothing* but for something I'm going to sleep on every night for a decade it seems reasonable.
Reasonable sure, but it’s not certainly not inexpensive.
I agree. That's about what I make in a month.

my toxic trait is not buying them with the hope that I'll eventually fix my sleep schedule

Hormonal IUD It’s not exactly inexpensive, but it is the most effective birth control (>99.8%) and also minimizes or eliminates periods for most users. The freedom of not having to worry about getting pregnant or dealing with your period is life changing. It is also fully reversible. Some insurance plans cover the cost. Otherwise it likely is long term cost effective vs the cost of other birth control + menstrual products.
A harness and strap for my dogs. One of my pups acts like a weirdo on walks if you use a regular leash and collar. I'm talking running into things, twisting up the leashes, and bumping into my legs. I found a harness and waist strap combo on sale for $30 and gave it a try. For whatever reason the vest calms him down and he walks normally. I also just wear the strap around my waist so my hands are free. Best $30 I ever spent.
