I thought those cheap solar string lights were a total waste of money.
Bought a $15 set from the hardware store last spring just to test them, and they've lit up my patio every single night for 8 months now. Has anyone else had a cheap backyard buy that actually lasted way longer than expected?

Oh man, I had the same thought about those little solar path lights. Grabbed a box of six for maybe ten bucks, fully expecting them to die in a month. They're still going strong two summers later, a bit dimmer but still lighting up the walkway. It's the best kind of surprise when the cheap stuff works out.

Yeah, that "best kind of surprise" feeling is the best. It's like beating the system. I had a cheap plastic fan from a drugstore that I swore would overheat and die. That thing ran nonstop in my college dorm for four years. Makes you wonder how much we overpay for the fancy brand names, you know?
