Meal Ticket

Meal Ticket is a common relic that heals 5 HP every time you enter a shop. Shops appear regularly on the act map (typically one per act, plus additional ones from events), so this relic provides a handful of free healing opportunities over the course of a run. The heal triggers on entering the shop, not on purchasing anything.

The relic's total healing impact is modest — usually 15 to 25 HP across a full run depending on how many shops you visit. Its value is highest in runs where you visit multiple shops and when those 5 HP heals bridge a gap between surviving and dying before a rest site. Meal Ticket is fairly weak as a standalone relic, but it has no downside and the healing is entirely free. It pairs well with other healing relics and with The Courier or Smiling Mask if you frequent the shop.
