    Quick Release garden hose fittings.

    You can get them for about $8 at harbor freight and it makes switching hose attachments easy!

    Cheap plastic bowl scrapers. Like these:

    I use these every time I cook. I use them every time I clean the kitchen.

    Baby wipes are really useful to just have sitting in your car, and next to your bed for those lucky enough to have nocturnal company.

      Just don’t flush them. Even if they say they’re “flushable”, they most certainly are not.

      Learned this shortly after our first kid. Baby wipes have a million uses. For generic cleaning, cheaper is better, as they won’t cover your car in lotion.

      Just make sure they’re disposed of properly.

        Yea, I get the fragrance and extra bullshit free ones. Just something simple to wipe up a mess.

        and 100% straight to the garbage.

      Yep. I’m never going back to balancing on one foot while I awkwardly smush my foot past the back of my shoe.

    An oil sprayer. I was looking for gift ideas and came across a “misto” brand oil sprayer and now I use it all the time! No more spray cans of oil and God knows what else, you just fill it half way with whatever oil you want (except coconut oil for some reason) and you pump it to pressurize the oil so you can spray whatever you want.

    This one is way below $100, but about ten years ago I bought a roll of twist tie wire at a dollar store. It’s fifty or a hundred feet, with a little guillotine cutter. It’s still just a bunch of twist tie, but it punches WAY above its weight with quality of life improvement. No more hunting for the one you dropped, or wondering how you’ll close up a veggie bag. Also good for (fairly light) pictures that use wire instead of sawtooth hardware, and I’ve used it in a pinch when I didn’t have cable ties. I dunno. It’s just an oddly useful substance to have lying in your junk drawer.

    Glass Tupperware, if you look all your plastic ones I bet they are scratched - melted or otherwise damaged. All those missing parts end up in the food.
