Earlier this week, we asked you about your best $100-or-less purchase ever. And by golly, you delivered.
Across 100s of responses, the average price per item was $46.
Some themes emerged, including:
10 water bottles, 9 air fryers, 8 instant pots, 7 massagers, 5 Yeti tumblers, 4 egg cookers, 4 blenders, 3 dogs, 3 bidets, 3 TSA PreChecks, and 2 fly swatters.
Here are a few answers that caught our eye:

- A $25 olive tree: “I purchased it ~20 years ago and it’s now a part of our landscape and our lives and will hopefully be around forever.” — Sally (San Diego)

- An $80 workout trampoline: “Fun low impact way to lose weight, relieve stress, and throw adult tantrums.” — LaShonda (Charleston)
- A $40 bidet toilet attachment: “Can you really put a price on a clean tush?” — Brian (Seattle)
