Here is a dollar store item I found today that I am surprised is not on the list:
Essentials mesh laundry bag,
It comes in white , patriot blue , and several other colors such as red for those who like to match their equipment and PVC colors. It is 36 x24 inches so cut the seam and you have 72x48. The mesh is 1/4 inch same mesh that cost $6-8 per square foot on many reef supply sites and add shipping to that. For $1.06 with tax, I have enough mesh to rescreen my tank top 4 times! Can also sew a small piece of it to make a feeder bag for seaweed or macro algae.
$1.06 to prevent carpet surfing

$1 glass bowls (like large wine glass with no stem) for putting anemones in the frag tank so they don't re-attach before selling them.

Betty Crocker kitchen scissors are the best. Also BC plastic strainer for tank transfers.

Squeegees come in handy when doing a water change or some sort of maintenance and you get SW all over your glass. We all know the pain it is to leave the glass/acrylic clean. I was amazed at how well the squeegee worked! Lol

99 cent stores here have little buckets for the beach (the sand castle pales) and they run specials on them. I use them to dip corals. I also buy sponges (like 20 pack) for a buck. I go through sponges like no tomorrow.
