Best low cost purchases you now can't live without
What are some purchases you've made that were relatively cheap that you can't believe you lived without before?
Mine has to be the Shark steam mop. This thing has seriously been the best purchase I've ever made for under $110. It cleans like no other mop ever invented.

My CP membership was pretty cheap. I'm not sure how I would live without it anymore

Something really simple. Hair scrunchies.
Always have one either in my hair or on my wrist.

Not super cheap but my robot vacuum makes me feel like a kid on Christmas.
I have dark flooring and a dog which translates to every hair being seen. Having the robot cruise around while I sleep and wake up to freshly vacuumed bath mats and a spotless floor gives a sense of that first accomplishment when I wake up without actually doing anything.
Emptying the canister is also rewarding as you get to see how much work that thing really is doing! (

My humble brag machine. I can now make a humble brag for the 'pocket-change' cost of only $110 dollars.

Agreed - I have a Roomba and not having to vacuum is incredible. Not cheap but totally worth it.

I bought a sub-$200 charcoal BBQ this summer and have only used my really expensive NG BBQ three times since.
