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.

Automatic/electric egg boiler. I use it almost every morning or at least once a week. It was like 10 euros at Lidl.

Out if interest, do you really have eggs for breakfast that often and if so, did you before you purchased it? Or can you do something else with it too?

I did eat eggs before but mostly fried on a pan. Now I usually eat them boiled and then use an egg slicer to slice the egg to thin slices and put them on a sandwich.

Sadly no you can't really use it to make anything else. Just regular chicken eggs. Here is a similar product. (In finnish sorry).
