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.

    An air fryer. It was a bit of an impulse buy and I didn’t think I would use it very much but as it turns out it’s much more versatile than I initially thought. I’m actually considering getting rid of my regular oven since I’ve rarely used it since I got my airfryer.

      I bought my parents one for Christmas and my mom grumbled that it was a waste. They ended up using it most nights. Their oven broke and they didn’t even bother fixing it for 6 months or so

      My wife was sweet about it but did a slight eye-roll when my Brother In-law got us an air fryer 3 years ago for Christmas. We’ve gotten rid of our toaster and use our oven less often.

      PS - Air fried leftovers are so freaking good.

      I didn’t understand the hype, everyone was saying “it’s just a small convection oven”. Sure it might be, but now I’ve used it, it definitely cooks differently and I much prefer it to my regular convection oven. I have been converted.
