My wife and I shop quite often from an app called Wish. You can also access them from their website Wish.com. They sell a lot of stuff direct out of China for prices that are stupid cheap and the shipping is unbelievably cheap. When shopping on the site I don't purchase things that I need a quality item. For example, if I need a quality screwdriver that isn't going to bend I buy from Craftsman, Snap-on, etc... But if I need a simple crescent wrench then I will buy the off brand. This same logic applies to Wish.
With that out of the way, let me tell you what you NEED as a photographer. On wish, link below, they sell a complete set of step up and step down filter rings from 82mm through 37mm for the cost of $16. At my local store one ring is about $10. I ordered two sets and they are now less in quality than the $10 per ring adapters.

I use constant light sometimes. They have this dual light adapter to go on a light stand. Inexpensive and works. $11

Used these reflectors on my flash primarily as a shield to block light but can be used as a reflector as intended. The stretchy band will not have a long life, but is nice to keep in my flash bag when needed. Used it recently on my night snowboarding jump shots to stop the fill flash from lighting up the launch hill. $3

This portable flash softbox was better constructed than I expected and came with a grid. Have not used the grid, it's pretty flimsy, but the rest was pretty good. $21

I have paid big money for some of my muslin backdrops. I bought the black and green as a pair, but they offer black, green, and white for $23.

I hope this helps some of you out that are working on an extremely tight budget. Shipping has been as fast as 3 day up to 6 weeks. It is what it is, but for the price I regularly use Wish.
We have been shopping with them for over 6 months and have been very happy.
