Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

Steaks. But still in a cheapish way. I was thoroughly disappointed in a ribeye I ordered at a restaurant once. Since then I wouldn't order one of those in a restaurant, but I will buy my own. Ribeye is my go to. Sous vide is the cooking method. Cannot be beat.

So, don't trust Dollar General steaks then?

A good hair shampoo

HOTAS for flight simulators. I had a few cheap ones, but getting a quality one is simply worth the extra 50-100$.

Tools. Life's too short to work with shit. Knifes. Bikes. Shoes. Same reason.

Degree is what works for me

Butter. Quality butter is maybe 2 bucks more than the cheap stuff, and absolutely worth it

We have good butter and cheap ass store brand butter and I alternate depending on how much you will be able to taste the butter in the recipe

Boots. I bought a pair of good leather boots after trying multiple cheaper brands- 4 years and they're still going strong.

Everything that is used daily and has a big workload like fridge, dishwasher, washing machine, vacuum.... Car parts... As mentioned before: computer parts.

Also cosmetics: find out what your skin needs, which products are the right ones for you. Don't clutter when it comes to cosmetics. Buy only what you need but good stuff.

Oreos.

Sorry Hydrox.

[–] Nemo@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Shoes, underwear, haircuts, chairs, and very recently, mobile phones
