I bought a piece of 1.5 inch stiff foam to try to fix a sag in a bed. It didn’t work but having that thick piece of solid foam around has been a life saver.
Need something flat to put a laptop on? Throw it on the foam. Going to be doing something that requires you to be on your knees for a while? Get the foam!
It went from stupid purchase to something I’d gladly replace if it broke.
Reverse also works. Wife bought a slow cooker and we’re giving it (so we can get a bigger one) to my daughter and she is using it to make rice.
She’s working on a recipe that will make rice that isn’t too mushy, but she likes soft rice.
