We’re curious about which excellent products that cost less than $100 can drastically improve your life.
Another PC Monitor

“Your productivity will increase dramatically.”
“It’s really nice to be able to watch things while doing something else, something that you just can’t properly do without 2 monitors.”
“My workflow is often: things I’m working on in front of me, reference material on the monitor to the side.”
Nasal Irrigation Kit

“Either the electronic pump or simply the squeeze bottles. I started using them both leading up to surgery on my sinuses, and I haven’t stopped using them since.”
“The suction is nice to really clean you out, but the squeeze bottle version works quite well also, and they are about 10 bucks plus the salt packets.”
“I work construction and I get daily doses of horrible dust up my schnozz. Cuts the (dust-related) snoring to a minimum, which helps improve sleep as well!”
Aeropress Coffee Maker

“The thing broke my wife’s $200(?) monthly Starbucks habit.”
“You can make a huge iced americano with it and be good for the day instead of needing multiple cups of weak coffee. They also make laser-cut reusable metal filter disks”
House Plants

“They will make you happy looking after them. I recently bought a Venus fly trap. She caught her first fly today.”
“I started keeping and growing plants and herbs, and just not killing them feels like such a huge accomplishment.”
Rice Cooker

“Takes less than nothing to get some rice in there and flip the switch.”
“Throw coconut and sugar in there. Get some Spanish rice or saffron going on. You can throw tofu in there with it if you need.”
New Socks

“If you’ve been wearing the same pairs forever like I typically do, there’s nothing like putting on a new pair of freshly-bought socks.”
“I never realized until I was an adult, sadly, but I appreciate the feeling of new socks all the time.”
A Good-Quality Alarm Clock

“Completely changed my mornings. Don’t think I could ever go back to using my phone or a simple alarm clock.”
“If you have trouble getting up or functioning in the morning, and like a nice cup of coffee or tea, an electric kettle with a timer can be a real game-changer.”
Vertical Mouse

“$20. Saved my wrist using it at work all day.”
“It looks odd but it feels so much more natural. I even got a bunch of people at my office to buy one after they tried mine.”
“This was a lifesaver for me.”
Knife Care

“Makes chopping stuff up faster, easier & safer.”
“We bought a whetstone and it went unused until last week. Everyone in the household was constantly complaining about dull knives.”
“When I started dating my now-wife, I introduced her to the concept of sharpening knives and she had no idea that it was supposed to be easy to cut veggies and fruit!”
A Glass Breaker

“A glass breaker on a keychain. Push it against the glass of your car window and it shatters immediately, helping you get out of a car underwater, broken door, etc. Super cheap and life-saving.”
Motion Sensor Lights

“Can’t tell you how many stubbed toes or falls they have prevented. Also, a cheap intruder alarm.”
“Get a motion-activated toilet bowl light. They’re amazing. Don’t kill your eyes in the middle of the night when you gotta pee.”
Blackout Curtains

“Changes your life if you want to sleep all day. I refuse to have them in my room after living like a vampire for a few years.”
“Combine it with a wake-up light alarm clock!”
A Good Pillow

“It is amazing the change in body aches and sleep you see when you have a good pillow that fits you.”
“The real-life changer for me was a buckwheat pillow. I have sleep apnea, which allows me to get my head into the perfect position and keep it there comfortably.”
“Oh man, did my life change when I got my buckwheat pillow? I tried using the standard pillows but could never find one that was comfy.”
Sunscreen

“I’ve had multiple skin cancer surgeries. It’s not the scalpel cutting flesh away from your body that hurts the most during the procedure, it’s whatever liquid they inject into you to deaden the nerves around the cancer that hurts.”
“Buy your damn sunscreen.”
Air Compressor

“To air up your tires. Got one off Amazon for 30 bucks.”
“To add to this… a jumper. Basically a battery in a box that has battery clamps. For jump-starting your vehicle. Get one that has a dc/ac outlet so you can use it to power small electronics when you have a power outage at home.”
“I would not recommend combination jumper/air compressor units. WOULD suggest a separate jumper and air compressor.”
