What items have you discovered are a true value in price for what you get?

I’m talking about the inexpensive products that everyone should already know about, Like Fenix Flashlights, or Kirkland Booze. What unique items do you know of that are a steal?

Zebra F-701 Pens.

Walmart's Ozark Trail knock off Yeti products like their tumblers, roto-molded coolers, and stainless vacuum insulated coozies.

PROTO-1 and the stainless slide P228. They are true value in price, as far as I'm concerned.

Brooks Brothers non-iron dress shirts.
Honda small engines.
Suncloud sunglasses.
Ryobi Li-Ion power tools.

Duke's mayonnaise.

Kirkland Signature brand stuff at Costco.

They don't hide the 41% glyphosphate like HD and push the more expensive Roundup (18% glyphosphate)

They have a ton of organic gardening products that HD doesn't carry and competitive with Amazon price wise.

Most of the ones around here are authorized BGE dealers so they have lots of accessories and replacement parts.

I think you went a different way with this thread

^^ Oops ^^

I was thinking about True Value Hardware which is located between my home and Deep Homo and Lowlife's.

You want references?

Maybe Jim's not...But Dave Truong is


I'll add Smartwool socks...I wear them at work year-round, and any other time I'm doing anything like hiking, etc. An $18 pair lasts for a loooong time, and my feet feel happy in them. And don't stink.

Another, which I think I bought after a discussion here, is Exofficio sport mesh underwear.

My Nike Special Field Boots (Fancy jungle boots) have been a fantastic value. I bought them in 2012 and still wear them at work, though they are in need of replacement.

Nah you are good to go.

I forgot SigForum itself! Truly a value.

SigForum is not free. It costs you your time and energy, you have to follow the rules that become more apparent as time goes by, and you must get the nod from the mods to join/stay here.

But for that cost, you get unlimited Edutainment, no ads, and real life invisible friends.

I am, but nowhere as much as Dave is. Good call chongo.

For me it's my Unicorn Keytop pepper mill:

http://www.unicornmills.com/KeyTop-0/

It produces more ground pepper for a given amount of effort than any pepper mill I've ever used. Good control of grind fineness too. Ugly as sin, but works beautifully.

I buy peppercorns by the pound, and go through a pound in about the same time that the average American goes through an ounce.

Thermal Cell. It's a mosquito repellent device. Having used one for a few years I would pay3 times the going rate for a replacement.

Walmart's Great Value Crushed Tomatoes in 28 oz. can are pretty darn good for $0.93 or whatever, for making pizza and spaghetti sauces, and I've tried a few. No, they don't compare to San Marzano at $4 a can.
