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 got a really girly looking beanie (I’m a guy) at a white elephant gift exchange and it became my favorite beanie. It got stolen and I’m sad that I can’t find it again.

      Had a totally custom beanie made at Etsy. See if you can find something similar. They can usually customize it to get a close match to the old one.
