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

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.

honestly I’d say a can cooler, it’s like a yeti cup but it goes around a can. Keeps my drinks so much colder, such a surprise tbh

Like a koozie? I don't think I've ever bought a koozie, we've literally got a dozen in a drawer that we have gotten for free from random events/bag freebies over the years.

I think it's actually like a steel insulated thermos sleeve with the double walls and everything, so a yeti cup for around your cups

Basically a koozie made out of a Yeti bottle. Or a Yeti bottle but instead of putting liquid in it you put the whole can and it keeps your can cold.
