USB-C are more like adapters that let you plug in anything that isn't USB-C. There still does not exist a device for under 100 USD that will let you plug in the MBP's USB-C power, a USB-C (over thunderbolt 3) monitor, and also a USB-C to Lightning cable. I hope you didn't have a wired keyboard, too.

There does exist a hub that has 2 USB-As and 2 USB-Cs for 50 USD, but it does not pass through video or power.
