For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

A $50 calf stretcher from Amazon. Rounded bottom, you stand on it and it flexes your feet while extending your heels.

Cured my plantar fasciitis and allowed me to run again.

Seki Edge fingernail clippers were the first thing that came to my mind.

Recently got a bidet, it was a cheap one to see if I'd like it. Now I'm thinking of getting a better one.

This is a little more niche, but as a hobbyist guitar player, I've wasted a ton of money on gear that had some use, but was mostly redundant or not all that necessary.

But the best purchase I ever made for guitar gear was a Digitech Trio pedal. There was a blow out sale with one of the major music vendors and they were just giving them away for $50. I don't get a chance to play with other folks all that often, and especially over the whole Covid lockdowns, this thing made at-home play/practice just the most fun thing ever. The pedal generates drum and bass parts that will fit whatever chord progression you feed it, so it just fills in the whole rhythm section and you can do whatever you need on top of that.

It gets more use than any other piece of gear I've ever had.
