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.

This post has me very intrigued

You can buy a DIY kit for ~$20. Mine work great, though I’ve never gotten professional ones so I can’t compare.

I use IEM's constantly and usually use a silicone tip, but honestly it's time to get molded. You just have to be disciplined enough not to lose them.
