I have a little fold-out rack with (I think) 24 individual clips on that hold socks and other small items. It can then be attached to the washing line, taking up a lot less space than hanging things along the length of it.

It was £3.99 and it makes putting the washing out so much easier. I much prefer to line dry things outside than using the dryer when I can.

A pry bar. I use it to open cat food tins because my fingernails are not up to the task.

A mini pen I keep on my lanyard.

Cost me like $2.50, I thought it was too expensive for what I was getting but it works. Now when those bitches lose the pens, I can still write instead of dancing a pat-everything-pat-myself-look-for-pen-everywhere

I've got a lot of use out of a 1000ml water bottle I got at college. Originally got it because the club I'm a part of was making food and I needed a container to take some with me. Since then I have used it a lot. Same with a discounted $1USD aluminum bottle I got because I forgot my water bottle at home and needed something so I wouldn't be getting up every few seconds to get water while working on something in the library.

A dry erase notebook. $2. The marker that came with it is crap so that was another $12 for a pack of 4.

A pencil (edit: less than 1 dollar most of the time)
