PSA: My $12 headlamp beat my $90 one on a 3 night trip in the Ozarks

Everyone keeps saying you need a fancy headlamp with 800 lumens and a rechargeable battery, but I used a cheap $12 one from a hardware store bin on a 3 night trip in the Ozarks back in April and it did everything my $90 light does. The expensive one died on night two because I forgot the charging cable, while the cheap one just took AAA batteries I grabbed at a gas station. I get why people like the fancy ones, but for car camping and short hikes I don't see the point of paying that much. What's your setup for backup batteries when you're out for a few nights?
