What cheap tool/gadget do you use that greatly improves your daily life?
Just went down the aliexpress rabbit hole again. Theres really everythinf for some of really niche things that i wouldnt ever buy, but some things really do look appealing. I wonder what do you guys use daily thats worth lets say under $20

Good quality kitchen knives. Makes cooking a much better experience.
what's a cheap quality kitchen knife.
Victorinox chef's knife 8" or 10"
edit: didn't see the under $20 qualifier. looks like ~$45 on amazon currently. well worth that price imo
+1 for victorinox, until I got my current knife, I exclusively used these
On the same note, Victorinox peelers are fucking great and, at least in here, they cost like 14€ or so.
Nice. I need a new peeler soon and most of my best knives are Victorinox. Their paring knives are pretty well made as well.
Literally the top choice for beater chefs knife in kits around the world. My Henkles and Globals are nice knives but if Im splitting up a partly frozen whole chicken Im using the victorinox because it is made to be abused
If you've got an Asian market, look for "Kiwi" brand knives there. Usually sold in big bins without packaging (maybe a plastic sleeve if you're lucky). They're sharp, but they do wear so also grab a cheap pull-through sharpener
I personally really love my Babish Chef's knife. I generally avoid buying content creator merch, but all the reviews I read for the knife seemed overwhelming positive for the price point
