Why does nobody talk about the $12 oven thermometer being the only baking money that matters

I spent $12 on a plain oven thermometer from a hardware shop in Cleveland and it changed every single thing I bake. My oven runs 40 degrees hot, so every cake I made for two years came out dry and I blamed my flour and my pans. The thermometer sits on the rack now and my banana bread went from sad brick to actually good on the first try after I adjusted. Meanwhile I dropped $60 on a fancy nonstick bundt pan that sticks worse than my old thrift store one. Honestly, gear marketing is mostly noise and one cheap dial beats all of it. What's the cheapest tool in your kitchen that does more than the expensive stuff?
