What Item have you purchased for less than $100, that has made a large difference in your life?

For me, it was a pair of merrell shoes on sale. They have lasted 3+ years, have great grip in the snow and ice, and so comfortable, my feet don't hurt after wearing all day.

Never cheap out on anything that comes between you and the ground; shoes, tires, a bed.

What have been some of your good purchases under $100?

Had a baby this year and I have a twofer:

  1. I got a used prefold + covers lot for $100. Cloth diapers seem more comfortable for the baby and they are way easier on the wallet.
  2. Woven wraps can be found used for $20-$80. A woven wrap is a baby wrap you can use from birth till they stop wanting to be held (35+ lbs). They are cheaper and more versatile than many structured carriers.

Go team cloth! We cloth'd both of my kids. Not always fun, but it's better for the environment and a ton cheaper!

Used cloth for my first, but I'm old now, so my second gets disposables.
