For me, it was a pair of merrell shoes on sale. They have lasted 3+ years, have great grip in the snow and ice, and so comfortable, my feet don’t hurt after wearing all day.

Never cheap out on anything that comes between you and the ground; shoes, tires, a bed.

What have been some of your good purchases under $100?

    Here are a few things I haven’t seen mentioned but have a significant quality of life improvement for me:

    • High quality LED flashlight that can also double as a power bank (e.g. Sofirn BLF SP36, BLF LT1, or Q8 Pro)
    • Curved shower bar – no more fighting or getting stuck on the shower curtain/liner
    • Padded mat for in front of the sink, placement depends on where you spent the most time (handwashing dishes, food prep/cooking, etc)
    • Over the sink dish rack – Frees up a ton of counter space if you hand wash
    • “Cloud” foam slippers
