Pro tip: A $12 can of spray foam fixed my drafty basement door in a weekend

I had a cold spot near my basement door for years, and last month I finally bought a can of Great Stuff gap filler after seeing it at the hardware store. I sprayed it into the gaps around the door frame, let it cure for a day, and now that whole corner is noticeably warmer. Has anyone else found a cheap fix that made a big difference like this?

Feel your pain with that basement door draft. Mine was so bad it made the whole laundry area freezing. Grabbed some cheap weather stripping tape from the dollar store as a test, and it actually worked way better than I expected. Now I don't need a sweater just to switch the laundry over.
