In terms of every day living...

Linux. Cost: $0. Value - awesome. I can meet all of my computing needs with it, and I pay nothing.

Coal. I can start this on a gas stove and put it in my homemade heater and it lasts for hours. Next to buying wood, kindling, alcohol to start ect, coal is super cheap for winter heating.

Unrestricted/unlimited broadband. If a bit of an information junkie and save lots of stuff. Buying data blocks was expensive.

Going Vegan. Cost: Nothing but avoiding a few social norms. Savings in terms of groceries=enormous. People often think it's more expensive, requiring supplements. Nothing could be further from the truth. I buy no supplements and do not have issues meeting vitamin/mineral requirements.

I'm sure there's more, but that's off the top of my head.

Portable bidet.

Cost: around $5
Savings over multiple years not buying toilet paper: In the $1000's.

I'm quite sure that compared to TP users, I've got the cleanest exit in town. :p

My electrical continuity tester cost me about $25 and has allowed me to trace just about every single circuit in my house.

I also have an electrical multimeter that is suitable for use on live circuits that has come in handy as well. It was maybe $80 but that was a long time ago.

The ceiling fans I put in my living room and dining room ran about $80 each, with a little more to replace the nasty knob and tube wiring with new wiring, and they circulate the air from a single air conditioner to keep a good chunk of space cool in the summertime.
