'The squatty potty truly changed my life': 30+ must-have purchases under $150 that are worth the hype

What would we do without the wisdom of Reddit? I recently stumbled upon this post on r/askreddit where the OP asks fellow Redditors, "What can you buy for less than $150 that will change your life?" Please, say less. This thread is all about budget-friendly items that have the power to seriously upgrade your life. 

From nifty mattress toppers that make your back rejoice to fancy espresso machines turning regular joe into a barista's paradise, people shared some real game-changers. Want to turn your daily commute into an oasis of tranquility? Noise-canceling headphones FTW. Or perhaps you're dreaming of a home theater experience? Just get yourself a portable projector.

Or maybe all you need is a dog. Yeah, that's probably it. 

What's so cool about this thread is that it's a digital democracy in action. It's like everyone's best-kept secrets for a better life, served up with a lil' friendly internet banter. Keep scrolling to read 30 of the top answers.
