For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

A MMO mouse. All the keybinds allow me to have an incredible workflow with everything I do on my PC including browsing.

  1. Atolla 5v 4a usb hub ($30.00) power really helped with my cable management problems and power up my PI from there

  2. LS 50x headset ($250.00) mainly cause it's triple connectivity ( Wired , BT , 2.4Ghz )

A Leatherman Squirt PS4 (keychain multitool). I think I only paid about £20 for it back around 2010 (give or take a couple of years). Endlessly useful & still fully functional.

Scarpa Hiking boots. 24 years old, 20,000km walked and still worn every week.

Good hiking boots can be incredible. My repairable Alfa boots are still relatively new (by comparison), but I couldn't be happier with them.

Cross-body bags. Uniform black handkerchiefs. Good charging cables.

Diva Swan speakers - they were one of the early internet speaker companies. They had a deal if you bought 2 floorstanding and 2 bookshelf speakers they threw in the $500 center channel for free. I've upgraded receivers with newer surround processing over the years, but the the core 5.1 holds up great for 20+ years now. https://hometheaterhifi.com/volume_8_2/diva-swans-41-speakers-5-2001.html

ProTeam ProForce 1500XP vacuum. It's an actual commercial grade vacuum. True HEPA filters. Very user serviceable, replaceable parts available. Costs about $500-600 but totally worth it.

An ereader that supports the epub format. Getting all my books from Anna’s Archive saves me hundreds of dollars each year. If I absolutely loved the book, I buy the ebook to support the author after all.
