Like I've said before, with the prices of everything going up over the last few years, most people are thinking about how to save money! However, there are also circumstances where you can justify spending more on something. For example, whenever I make pasta, I usually spend a little more to get a jar of Rao's marinara sauce because I truly think it's the best sauce I've ever tasted.
Recently, Reddit user redmambo_no6 was curious to know what people don't mind splurging on when they asked: "What will you never buy cheap?"
The thread got over 4.5K responses from people sharing what is WORTH the money. Below are the top and best comments:
1."Safety boots — or any safety gear, TBH. But especially boots. If I'm walking 8-plus hours a day on them, they better be good and comfortable."
2."A winter jacket and a good pair of snow boots."
3."Headphones. There's no way back for me."
4."Running shoes."
5."A phone charger. I can’t stand the cheap ones that charge at the pace of a tortoise."
6."Cheese and tea. Because you can see, smell, and taste the difference."
7."Power tools. There's a big difference between cheap power tools and expensive power tools."
8."Kitchen knives."
9."Cologne. It just smells toxic if you buy it cheaply."
10."Desk chair. I work from home and bought a Steelcase. It was $900 but worth it! My back is thankful."
11."A mattress."
12."Some things are just worth splurging on, you know? For me, it's definitely tech stuff. Like, I'd rather save up for a quality laptop than deal with constant glitches on a cheap one. Plus, good gear lasts longer, so it's a win-win."
13."Bed sheets. Next to a comfortable mattress and a good pillow, soft, cooling sheets are the key to a good night's sleep, I've found."
14."Cleaning supplies! My office switched from a brand-name orange cleaner to a no-name brand. You can literally see that the no-name brand didn't cut through grease."
15."Butter for baking. Brown butter cookies are elite and margarine just doesn’t cut it 😅🍪."
16."Floss."
17."Bras. Finding the right style and size can be hard enough, but every time I've decided to just pick up a cheap one at Walmart, I've instantly regretted it. They last two seconds, have no support, and are the only bras I've ever had an underwire snap in half. They're definitely not worth the hassle."
18."Never get yourself a cheap lawyer. If you ever go through a divorce or child stuff, get a lawyer that costs a bit more because generally they're worth it."
19.And lastly, "Toilet paper. I did that thin stuff just *once.* The stuff practically fell apart in my hands."
On the same day Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning in Flint, Michigan, Michael Moore is warning of a fatal “mistake that could be made in these final 4-5 weeks” until Election Day.“If Harris is advised by her wealthy donors to shun the left and drop her more progressive positions in favor of a ‘move to the center,’” Moore, who grew up in the suburbs of the Midwestern city he made famous in his debut documentary Roger & Me (but has since moved away), writes in a new Substack post, it cou
Donald Trump was reportedly caught on tape turning the grieving widow of a man who died at one of his rallies into a source of amusement for his uber-wealthy dinner guests.The recording, obtained by The Guardian, apparently comes from a private meal Trump held Aug. 10 in Aspen, Colorado. In it, the Republican presidential nominee reportedly recalled a meeting with the wife of Corey Comperatore, the man who was killed by shots fired at Trump by Thomas Crooks at a Pennsylvania rally in July.“So th
Over the past months the former president has seemingly become more and more obsessed with attendance – amid claims that his fans are leaving early ‘out of frustration and boredom’
A London, Ont., man., who posted a selfie online showing him with a dying man in a Windsor hospital last year has received two months of jail time. Bubba Pollock is an activist who's protested against drag queens and drag storytimes. He was sentenced in a Windsor courtroom on Friday for his actions against Britt Leroux and the Windsor woman's terminally ill father."I'm happy that he's gonna be held responsible," Leroux said outside court. "I'm fearful that he's not going to learn anything in jai
Donald Trump launched into an unhinged attack on Liz Cheney after the former Republican congresswoman denounced him in a speech at a Kamala Harris campaign event on Thursday afternoon.“Liz Cheney lost her Congressional Seat by the largest margin in the history of Congress for a sitting Representative,” he fumed in a Truth Social post after the former Wyoming rep’s remarks. “The people of Wyoming are really smart! She is a low IQ War Hawk that, as a member of the J6 Unselect Committee of Politica
A Colorado judge threw the book at a MAGA folk hero on Thursday after bizarre scenes in court that included “magnetic mattresses” and courtroom outbursts. Tina Peters, the infamous election-denying Colorado clerk who tried to help Donald Trump overturn 2020 election results, was sentenced to nine years in prison—a far cry from probation, as her attorneys had asked for. Peters, 68, was found guilty last month of allowing a man associated with MyPillow’s Mike Lindell to enter the Mesa County elect
CNN data reporter Harry Enten says that one key statistic may spell serious trouble for Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign just one month out from the election—so much so that a win would be, in his words, “historically unprecedented.”In a segment with host John Berman, Enten analyzed the polling data around the question, “Do you think the country is on the right track?” Apparently, just 28 percent of Americans think that the United States is currently headed in the right direct
