mine).” –DrunkElves

<$10. Before, I had to peel and mince garlic, get my fingers all
sticky… now the garlic press does it in 3 seconds. It even
simultaneously peels it. 10/10 it’s basically black magic.” –dingusreviews

“I bought an actual Roomba and immediately had buyers remorse – except that now I don’t. It’s the best thing I’ve ever “wasted” money on. I’m lazy as hell and I have long long hair. The Roomba sweeps my floors every other day and has lasted over 6 years now. I would have a floor layered with hair and dust without it.” –raininginsf

“There is absolutely no going back after you have a 10 foot cord. After my first one finally crapped out, I had to use a 3 foot cord for the night until I could run to the store to get a new one, and I wanted to die because I kept almost ripping it out of the wall by accident.” –Anything4MyPrincess

“My Leatherman Supertool 300. Had it about 5 years now, and I use it often at work. It’s already paid for itself. But honestly, my proudest moment came when someone at work sadly realized they needed a can opener for their lunch, and there were none to be had. Lo and behold, guess what’s in my pocket…” –moronicuniform

“My best friend has been late to work EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. for the past 6 years. The last time I was at his house, he was so excited because he got one of these sunrise alarm clocks, and he mounted it above the head of his bed. On Monday, for the first time in my friendship with this guy, he beat me to work. I don’t know how he still has a job after being late for so long, but I’m proud of him. 5 stars.” –Mc_High_Ver

“Years ago my dad bought a plastic severed hand
as a Halloween prop. Every year we stick that hand in different places,
hanging from the stove, the trunk of our car, under the front porch,
basically anywhere we wanted. I even tossed it at him once or twice when
he asked for a hand (just like Buzz did to Woody in Toy Story).

“Best ROI: a $30 Aeropress.
I was terrible at making coffee, would
spend upwards of $10/day on Americanos and drip coffee (Starbucks and
hipster places). Now I make better coffee at home and I don’t have to go
anywhere.

I’ve never seen him love something so
much. He spends probably twelve hours a day in it. Also when he gets
agitated over something weird you put him in it and he almost
immediately calms down.” –lalaen
