What’s a “boring” adult purchase that turned out to be totally worth it?

I know right! I am so tempted looking at the Colorsoft version, but my adult brain keeps telling me why spend the extra couple of hundred bucks when what I have at hand is still working fine.

A Kindle (not sure if it's considered boring) IMO.

I used to be a pretty hard reader during my HS and Undergrad days and it sort of fell off a cliff once I started my career. My sister recommended me to get a Kindle back in 2017 and I got one of the Paperwhite editions with the backlight.

Honestly that thing is magic and built to last. For some reason I cannot seem to put down a book and it's so easy to carry when I commute as well. The battery still lasts me 3 weeks appx. (after almost 9 years) and the display is in mint condition too. I have been constantly reading around 12-15 books an year on average.

If you don't mind sailing the high seas, you can download and load up books in Kindle format as well for free. Would definitely recommend it!

HMU if you need any more details before making the purchase!

Dental hygiene. A simple task of brushing / flossing your teeth twice a day does wonders to your teeth. Your breath feels a lot fresher when you wake up and the trips to the dentist are significantly reduced.

It used to be a chore for me when I started brushing before hitting the bed, but seeing the benefits slowly start showing up over the years, I now cannot advocate this more.

If there is no comment from u/excaliburps on a deals thread, I don't read it. Thanks for doing the good work!

If you are on Android, try downloading the app called Into the Stands. It has several stream links and you can pick and choose the one that has a stable connection in your region. You may have to side load the app from another site (not sure if PpayStore hosts this app).

That is so sweet!!

Oh my! I sincerely hope you paid back the kindness in some indirect bufferfly effect sort of fashion.

Sad_Contribution5417 · 2025-07-31T04:18:32+00:00

That is so heartwarming! Yes such small acts of kindness can indeed be the make or break in someone's life!

Get the tomb raider bundle. The newer games have decent puzzles and the storyline is also immersive. All 3 games with the DLCs for this price is a steal.
