Rechargable hand warmers, pack of two, 10000mah
Oh my God yes, I bought one of these about 10 years ago it’s still going strong and whenever I get a little cold I just turn it on and it’s so nice.
Another thing that I found is amazing is putting them in your shoes are slippers for about 5-10 minutes before you use them, because it means when you put your shoes on they’re not super cold so it feels like you’re putting them in hot water instead of cold slippers
Nothing, amazon is a leech. Don’t use amazon.
Agreed. Fuck amazon.
A good sleep mask
We don’t have Amazon.
A basic stainless steel mate kit. I wasn’t a mate drinker before, now I occasionally do.
I just make it in my aeropress with a metal filter, does a perfect cup with hardly any powder in the bottom
But that would make a mate cocido, which has a very different taste.
I’m pretty unsophisticated with it, I admit. I’ve had it the traditional way with the calabash and all, but I made up a way I like. Yerba is my go-to when coffee would be too jittery and black tea ain’t cutting it.
Haha, yeah, drink it however you want it, I find it absurd that people think there’s a right way to enjoy food/drinks. I drink Mate in the exact same circumstances, tea is not enough but I don’t feel like coffee. I’m just letting you know that the name of what you’re drinking is Mate cocido, which has very different taste from what most people are thinking when they talk about mate, it’s still a very popular drink too.
I’m Argentinian, so I do enjoy mate almost daily. However I find that it’s a lot of yerba used for just me drinking, so I have a Ceba Solo (not my picture, but that’s exactly the same model I have). It’s easy to serve, afterwards you only have to drink because it essentially makes the water go through the yerba automatically and uses way less yerba. The only downside is that I have never seen these for sale outside of Argentina, I have moved mine through 3 countries already, but if you ever find one it makes drinking mate by yourself a whole easier and cheaper.
Basically every usb cable i have bought. If you try it locally, there are like two bigger chains in every city who sell those at ridiculous costs. To get them at a reasonable price you’d have to drive to a specialised vendor available only in the biggest cities (conrad, elv) or at very remote places (e.g. pollin).
Oh, not to forget about filament for the 3d printer. My favourite brands (sunlu, esun) are only available though amazon.
A cheap Casio watch. Lasts ages and always helpful.

I try to use Amazon less and less these days, but there are still some things worth getting for cheap.
A whole category for me is small kitchen items. Mixing bowls, bench scraper, oil bottles, squeeze bottles, etc. You can get good brands too, you just have to look a little harder these days.
If you’re in the US, check out webstaurantstore for those items. Way better pricing than Amazon, so you can have a whole stack of every size mixing bowl, sheet pans, glassware, etc, for what you’d pay on Amazon for one.
I love my Glocusent book light.

FYI, neither of your links are working for me on voyager iOS or on the web
EDIT:
I think you were trying to link to websites and not communities
Thank you for having this comment, since the second link was only a period for me I didn’t even realize there was a second link there.
Oh wow, I hadn’t realized it was necessary to take the fully qualified approach when linking on Lemmy, Thanks for teaching me something. Fixed.
I had some Amazon Basics blackout curtains that were well worth the $18 it cost. Compared to similar priced “blackout” curtains from Walmart and other physical retailers, they actually worked for their intended purpose and blocked all light.
This right here, blackout curtains are a must for any person that has a job or sleep schedule that requires them to be up that night and asleep during the day
Also if you’re a vampire and just hate sunlight.
USB extension cable
Not USB-C, I hope.
(USB-C cables are smart cables with chips in, and the standard does not allow for extensions of any sort, intelligent or otherwise.)
My purse. The kind you would believe is bigger on the inside.
48 pack of Amazon basic AA batteries for my trail cams. For years I was feeding my kids saw dust thickened stew to afford the 8 lithium batteries per camera for all 7-12 cameras we have between the property my father and I share. (His 150 acres and my 150 are connected) for comparison 48 Amazon basic batteries are $14. 48 energizer lithiums is a cunt hair under $100. It wasn’t until I looked into the reason for the cameras calling out lithium only batteries was because alkaline batteries have a lower output of charge when they are running low but lithium batteries don’t. The company said the lower power creates issues with the camera if it loses power mid cellular transfer of images. They made it sound like what happens if you lose power updating firmware on something. So I even question they’re reasoning cuz I feel like wort case scenario is you lose the image it was transferring but other than that, why would losing power on something ruin it? Either way the change happened when I realized the app showed how much batter is remaining for each camera and just started changing them out between half empty and 3/4 empty. Haven’t had a single problem in the 2 and half years since the change.
Why not go with solar powered cameras?
