What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?

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.

A long shoe horn.
I got it cause my formal shoes are a tight fight. It has been a game changer, it is a whole new experience wearing shoes, even the normal ones.
Gotta endorse the long shoe horn. Look for the longest one you can find -- even longer than that, if possible. Being able to put on shoes while standing without bending over is the goal here, and trust me, it'll revolutionilize your shoe wearing.
I stayed at a hotel that had one and tried it out. Just out of curiosity.
I bought one immediately after coming back home.
I picked one up a few years ago at Ikea, not the cheap plastic one they sell, but the super long steel one. Putting on shoes is like sliding into a comfy bed. My wife has been ridiculing me since, until recently when she tried it out.
Makes a great back scratcher, too
