I dropped $180 on a label maker and my pantry has never been more organized, but my bank account is crying

Everyone says you should save your money and not buy dumb gadgets, but I disagree. I spent $180 on a label maker a few months ago and it has been a game changer. I used to waste so much food because I couldn't tell what was in the containers, but now everything is labeled with dates. I even labeled the shelves so my roommate knows where things go. The downside is that I've become that person who labels everything, including the remote controls. My friends think I'm nuts, but I haven't thrown out a single expired item since I got it. It burned a hole in my wallet at first, but it's saved me at least that much in groceries. What's the dumbest thing you've bought that actually turned out to be useful?
