pH Test Strips (Vial of 100)
The $8 alternative to a digital meter. Less precise, still useful.

≈ $8–$10price range
Dip a strip in a sample, compare to the color chart. You'll get pH within about ±0.3 — not great for wine, but enough to catch a batch that's drifting into trouble.
Todd keeps a vial in the kitchen drawer for quick checks between proper tests.
