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.

    Rechargeable AA and AAA batteries. I really didn’t think much of it at the time but I have been very happy to have them at hand especially once I made a system to keep track of the ones that needed recharging and the ones that were fully charged.

      I’m curious, what’s your system. I need something. I also have a problem where I’ll put rechargeable batteries in a device, and then not use the device for months to years, where the batteries sit there unused.

      For @Bazoogle & other battery nerds interested in SAFE & CONVENIENT battery storage, I humbly submit Storacell.

      I’ve been using them at home for bulk AA & AAA battery storage & smaller on-the-go packs. Love them. Very straightforward design.

      as long as the capacity is good… i accidentally bought 500 mAh batteries recently and they’re completely useless… I can use them just for the clock… luckily i have 2000 mAh ones, which I use a lot.

      Agreed! Just beware that the Amazon Basics ones used to be awesome (black or grey ones) but the new ones (green) are garbage. I have some of the older ones that are 8 years old and still going strong, where as the new ones wouldn’t hold a charge after about a year of use.

      I recently bought some Panasonic eneloop ones and although they are more expensive they seem to be much higher quality.
