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

I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. 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.

    I must drink my morning tea out of a HotJo Travel Mug. This is non-negotiable. I had a beautiful black one which I dropped and smashed and now the only one available is white. Or I can get it with some crappy logo on it from eBay. So I drink out of a white one. It’s less enjoyable somehow, but still more enjoyable than not drinking from a HotJo Travel Mug.

    (Incidentally, if it looks familiar to you, it was used on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, but that’s not why it’s my mug of choice.)
