Shoutout to the $50 sourdough starter kit I never needed

So I got sucked into buying a fancy sourdough starter kit from some online shop for 50 bucks last month. It came with a cute glass jar, a linen cover, and a little wooden spoon. Two weeks later I realized my regular mason jar, a coffee filter, and a rubber band work exactly the same. The starter I grew from plain flour and water is just as active as the one from their special 'heritage' grains. I basically paid 50 bucks for a jar I could have grabbed at the thrift store for a dollar. Now I'm trying to convince my buddy not to fall for the same trap. Anyone else get tricked into buying unnecessary bread gear when you first started?

That 50 bucks bought you a pretty jar that makes you look like you have your life together.
