What have you bought for €100 or less that has been the biggest "game changer" for you, or has just made your life easier*?

For me it was the Balto speed reading app for my tablet. It only cost €2.22 but it has completely changed my reading experience.

*Let's keep this one non-sex related. We can always have a separate one which is strictly sex related

A weighted blanket. It wasn't an expensive one but its been fantastic. Also bands on amazon, great for rehab stretches.

So when you walk into a club with a pillow under your arm everyone knows you're not going home

Swiss army pocket knife at £65. Basically a small pocket toolbox. It's about 18 years old and all that its needed is a light sharpening ever so often on a wet stone. If I lost tomorrow I'd not hesitate to replace it.

"Google chromecast"

They are definitely handy.

If you're looking to add more functionality to the TV, check out the Xiaomi Mi-box. It's one of those android TV "dodgy" boxes. It basically turns your TV into a smart TV (or gives it more functionality of it's already smart).

It's got Chromecast built in.

I agree! They are brilliant, and are no more expensive nowadays that any standard energy saving bulb! You could probably put a smart light in every room of the house for 100 quid

"Balto speed reading app for my tablet. It only cost €2.22 but it has completely changed my reading experience.

What is this?"

It's an android app (not sure if it's available for iPhone) that uses Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP). It's probably easier to check out "Balto speed reader" on YouTube than for me to try and explain how it works.

My mind used to wander something terrible when I read and I'd always have to re-read multiple pages. But I don't find that happening with the app.

It's also allowed me to increase the speed at which I read, so I've been reading a lot more books.

I find it very handy for reading pdf documents for work as well.

There are add-ons for Chrome, which allow you to read websites using RSVP as well.

Nice.
