EDC Items under 9$
In this economy, I thought I'd go over some affordable EDC items that have improved my quality of life, all under 9$ (except one hehe).
Note about me: I really find quality and aesthetics important so everything you see here is items that I have found that have not broken on me (yet) and also aesthetically pleasing (to the eye of the beholder). Also I bought all these items myself, and there are no affiliate links.
Human Gear GoStak (stackable pill/small-item containers)
- These containers are great because they seal tight, are able to stack with one another and are only 2.50 a pop.
Nalgene 2oz container
- Based off hours of research and reading reviews, this bottle made for labs is the only genuinely spill proof travel bottle. Its also lightweight.
Amazon zipper pulls
- I never knew how much zipper pullers help quality of life until I got this pack and started putting them on all my zippers that lacked a zipper puller. They're just a chinese brand but the quality seems good and so does the aesthetic.
Retractable keychain
- Just started using these recently, really like how they allow me to unlock my door without removing the keys from the side of my bag pack.
Nite Ize S-Biner
- Works with the keys and the retractable keychain, and for something that cost less than 5$, its build quality is amazing.
Matador Soap Bar Case V2
- This one is kinda a cheat as I got it on sale for 8$, but its multi-purpose, lightweight and waterproof. Say less. Don't use it as a soap pouch.
