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

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
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.
It’s a bit more than 20 bucks but you can buy a ring of keys to pretty much any piece of heavy equipment you could possibly want.
You never know when say… Let’s pick a random one … A Komatsu D355A could come in handy.
Not Amazon but MercadoLivre, I bought a water bottle that keeps water cold for a very long time (my old one stopped working somehow and the handle was broken). A bit over R$100 which is just under $20.
Ultrasonic cleaner! Really awesome for glasses, jewelry, all kinds of small stuff. I fill it with isopropanol solution and clean my phone case in it.
I love my Glocusent book light.

A cheap Casio watch. Lasts ages and always helpful.
A good sleep mask
THIS THIS THIS
In my case my mom made a sleep mask for me in 11th grade and I’m still using it a bunch of times.

Cheap bluetooth obd2 scanner. But yeah, I’ve been trying to keep my Amazon spending to a minimum. I’ll try to buy from anywhere else first
I had a VeePeak one for a while. It was excellent. Everyone should have one, honestly.
Some chinesium computer mouse. I had low expectations but it worked perfectly for a good 7 years before the mouse wheel died. It even had RGB, removable weights, and variable DPI/pointer speeds!
I had, technically still have, three mice like that. All work fine, but the mouse wheels have given out. Too much hand cruft, dust and crumbs I guess, as well as all the scrolling. That said, I haven’t done anything differently with other, very similar, mice and - touch wood - no others have ever done that. The problem I have with my current mouse is that, paradoxically, it somehow gets more sticky if I clean it.
Apple dongle for 3.5mm headphones
The earbuds that connect to apple’s charging port are under $20 too.
I mean you can connect almost any IEMs or headphones to it. It’s got a really good DAC all things considering.
We don’t have Amazon.
My purse. The kind you would believe is bigger on the inside.
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.
