What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected? - Lemmy.world

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bet. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver. Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam! It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.

Years ago, I drunk purchased a microwavable sandwich press off Amazon… it was a genuine surprise when it showed up and I considered returning it, but didn’t. Brought it to work and now I use it three to five times a week; I genuinely recommend this thing to other people. It’s so convenient and works really well.

I hope you get commission for the sale, because I just bought one!

You really can’t believe you can put it in a microwave while holding it , but it is genuinely great. A bit long to heat up, but I can’t complain when you get a nice toasted sandwich in exchange.
