What’s something you own that has truly paid for itself? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

My sous vide, 100% I have never gotten a steak from a restaurant that was better than what I make at home with my sous vide and a good thick iron pan. It cost $100 and it probably paid for itself with one package of steaks from Costco.

    Agreed! Sous vide has turned me into a steak snob! I'm looking at $50-$60 steakhouse steaks to get close to how mine come out. And my circulator is just a cheapo $25 Aldi model. Still going strong even after 12 years.
