That Ikea frother is a winner. I have bought several so all the kids have one, we have one at home, one at the cottage, a couple extras…
CVS Sleep Aid (Zquil knockoff) BOGO
From someone who works 3 jobs, one being night shift.
Worth EVERY penny
Not sure if $25 counts as “cheap” for jeans, but compared to the $100+ pairs I had from Athleta, the pairs I got from Old Navy have been great. Love the Athleta jeans but need interim option as I lost and hope to continue to lose weight. May stay with ON and just buy earrings or something with the found money.
A $12 holey pizza pan for the grill form HD. I thought I would use it on the grill and toss, but instead I use it all the time - in the oven with flatbreads and thin crust pizzas!
I like the cheap allergy medicines from Costco and think they work as well as Claritin for $1 pill. I think the Costco ones are 100 for $10 or so.
Not a product, but last time we flew from Europe, I bought tickets to Air Canada Rouge with a layover in Toronto. It’s a low-cost Air Canada subsidiary. There were a lot of terrible reviews of it online, but I figured, what the heck, it was hundreds of dollars cheaper that the alternative even with the hotel price thrown in, I can suffer for a few hours. I was pleasantly surprised - the plane was on time, comfortable, seemed to have slightly more leg room than usual, even the food was good. And catching up on sleep in the airport hotel in Toronto was much better than sitting several hours in JFK.
Yes, I’ve often bought the less expensive Costco allergy meds and steroid cream and ointment. They work fine and are much better for our finances.
I have even bought drugs from India at AllDayChemist dot com. They worked fine and were a small fraction of the prices I could get in the US. Some of my friends have been buying from them regularly for over a decade.
Mad Love sneakers at Target: so comfortable. It’s like walking barefoot but not.
Gotta say, I was one for whom Air Canada Rouge was the worst experience ever. Missed every departure in both directions, spent hours waiting, and if anyone asked a question, it was met with a form of, “How would we know?”
My IKEA mattress.
I had good experiences and insanely cheap on Ryanair and Blue Air within Europe recently. Didn’t expect that.
