I bought cast iron pan which I think is the best ever purchase I made.

without a ton of thought, and other than my current house:

  • travel, in general. recently a trip to sail out of svalbard down to norway. it's another world up there

  • an inexpensive handtruck is one of the most useful tools i have

  • a 'prosumer' grade espresso machine and a grinder is used and loved every single day

I can't take credit for this, as I found it in a comment in a similar post and want to give that guy his props. It's a microwave sandwich grill press. It's inexpensive, and I use it all the time, especially when I want something, but I don't want anything big or heavy. I microwave grill a sandwich, and it's fantastic!

I was skeptical about how it would work, but it does. This is the Amazon link to it.

One of those nice traveling Bluetooth speakers about half the size of a brick. Whenever I travel I bring it and it is a huge improvement having music that sounds good everywhere.

It was more than I wanted to spend but it was money well spent these many years later.

Kuru brand shoes. I'm on my feet for 12 hours shifts and I actually have zero foot pain, they're amazing. Also I have extremely high arches, and the Kuru Quantums are the first shoes I've ever owned in my entire life that I don't have to add orthotic arch supports.

I buy a new pair twice a year.

Electrostatic capacitive rubber dome keyboard. …Such a pillowy, smooth travel compared to every mechanical keyboard. I wish there were higher demand so I could get an ergonomic one instead of basically being limited to what Topre or NiZ release.

Satellite water pump.

Initial investment is huge bill, but it pays itself off than monthly water bill.

Also, the water is clean.

Proper leather boots. I got the red wing irons rangers. Took 3 months of to break them in but it was worth it. Now I have boots that will last me half my life if I take good care of them, plus they fit like a glove!

High end PC I built. Players every game I'd wanna play super well and is far more reliable than any other PC I've owned

I bought the Rockwell 6S razor a few years ago and it's one of the best purchases i've ever made.
