The $15 oven thermometer that made me stop guessing

I used to set my oven to 350 and just trust it, but my cookies kept coming out flat and pale. After 4 failed batches last month, I grabbed a cheap Taylor thermometer from the Ace in Wichita and found my oven runs 40 degrees cold. Dialed it up and now my shortbread actually browns on the bottom... has anyone else checked their real temp or is my old gas range just weird?

I get that your cookies were off, but a cheap thermometer isn't always the truth, your gas oven's just gotta breathe.
