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.

Magnet tape. Made hella magnets out of stickers

That sounds awesome! My spouse and I regularly get vinyl stickers when visiting places and we're definitely running our of places to put them!

$10 for the tape and make sure you have an exact knife and a steady hand. Super worth it

I do this all time! The powder coating on my toolbox causes nearly every sticker to not adhere correctly, the magnetic tape solves that problem every time. It's great stuff.
