What was something you bought really cheap, but it turned out to be a best buy in the long run?

Asked by Chikipi (1843points) January 6th, 2010 from iPhone

About four years ago I was sick and wanted to watch DVDs, but my DVD player broke. I went up to my local store and bought a Magnavox DVD player for $25 or $30. I thought to myself it might fail quickly, but it will get me through the time while I was sick or maybe a couple of months. Yesterday, this DVD player finally broke, but instead of being upset I was amazed at how long it actually lasted.

My question to you is what was something you bought really cheap, but it turned out to be a best buy in the long run? What was the brand and how much did it cost?
