For me, it was a pair of merrell shoes on sale. They have lasted 3+ years, have great grip in the snow and ice, and so comfortable, my feet don’t hurt after wearing all day.
Never cheap out on anything that comes between you and the ground; shoes, tires, a bed.
What have been some of your good purchases under $100?
For me it was an air purifier. The smoke from the Canadian wildfires has been really bad where I live so coming home to clean air in the house is amazing.
What purifier did you pick up? We got one that was well recommended, and our Air Quality Monitor has basically said it’s doing nothing. It’s been pretty frustrating.
I got a Winix A230. There’s a program in my state that offers discounted products if they’re energy effecient, save water etc., so I got it for $79. I was pretty skeptical about air purifiers in general, but this thing will ramp up if I fart from across the room, so it’s doing something. And it’s helped a ton with my allergies.
This is going to sound silly but I’ve heard some people aren’t aware you need to open it and take the plastic off the internal diluted before first use. Did you do that?
