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.

I'm looking at getting some at the moment. Do you mind sharing which ones you have? Prices where I'm at seem to be all over the shop.

Shokz "OpenRun Pro"

I did zero research on them, so I have no idea how they compare to other options out there. I bought them after losing my 3rd set of in ear buds...

Sweet, I have those on the way right now. Or maybe, they are called shokz openrun pro mini and I'm not entirely clear if they are the same thing or different models.
