$90 8qt Instant Pot
It's dramatically reduced the number of times I eat out for convenience rather than enjoyment. It's larger than I need but perfect for bulk cooking/meal prep.

#23$20 foam roller. As someone who lifts weights, runs long distance, but also sits at a desk for 8+ hours a day, my body gets so incredibly tight by the end of the day. As soon as I get home I spend 20-30 minutes working on mobility from my neck down to my ankles. The foam roller helps a lot with that. It's painful but I feel so much better after.

A chest freezer costs more than $100, but is a great way to build on top of this strategy.

I think my purchase would be a $20 yellow led light that does not have blue light. I use it for reading before bed.

What mobility program (if any) do you follow? Definitely been feeling a lot of tightness lately, but not sure where to begin with the foam roller.
