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.

Hmm you know what, better just get the impact driver and hammer drill set. You know, in case that screw on the light switch plate is sticking and then I need to drill a hole through concrete after removing the light switch plate just for the fuck of it and then breaking it when replacing it because the torque of the impact driver was set too high.
And then when buying a new switch plate, I should get a bandsaw because they probably won't be 25% off if I find myself in a situation where I need to make a precision cut on a piece of wood, so I'm really saving a bunch of money by getting it now. And I'll need a shop vac for the sawdust.
Oh, and a screw driver is probably a good idea so that I don't break this new plate. Now should I get the set of 50 or will the set of 20 be good enough?
Oh shit, I wonder if my landlord will let me pay next month's rent in drilled holes or wood cuts. I have an extra broken light switch plate if he needs one, but somehow my money has gone missing.
