No matter how broke I am, I will not compromise on

Butter
If I only had a few dollars left, I'd still buy butter.
Not margarine, not 20-80 spread, just real pure butter.

Anything else, I'll do without, or by a substitute, etc

What is your "I'm not going without" thing?

Clipper tea bags.

Make up especially lipstick.

Yorkshire tea bags
I can't stand anything else

Clover spread
Pg tips
Galaxy chocolate
Revitalift day cream
Knickers from marks and Spencers

Nice bacon. I’d rather have no bacon at all than buy the minging cheap bacon that tastes too piggy.

Sorry vegi here but what would you prefer your bacon to taste of? HotChocolateLover??

Also bacon. I don’t buy it often, but I’ll go without rather than buy Danish.

Loo rolls , hate cheap thin loo rolls

Proper coffee
Free range eggs
Real butter
Maldon salt

That's probably about it - I'm not a particularly fussy shopper, but I'd rather go without than buy caged eggs.

Ha, I saw your thread title and came in to say butter.

I’d reather have nothing than “spread” of any description

Rather
Wtf is reather

My first thought was butter too

Butter here too!

Also organic eggs, good espresso and bread without all the chemical crap in. I’d rather not have any of those than eat below-par offerings.

Butter! But also Bread, no point in having nice butter if you don't have lovely bread too 😋

My gym membership. It is worth its weight in gold for the physical and mental benefits it gives me.

Good coffee, free-range eggs and high-welfare meat. I eat mostly veggie/vegan as I'd rather do that than buy cheap intensively farmed meat.

Foundation

Toilet tissue

Dark chocolate

And similar to food products listed by pp above. I only get these from a local producer or else I go without:

Butter
Eggs
Cheese
Meat
Honey
Chutney
Spelt flour

Free range eggs, Yorkshire tea bags

Tea bags. Don't you try to tell me those cheap shite ones you've bought are the same as my lovely ones DH!!!! (It's ok, I bought him cheap coffee, and now he 'understands!')

Butter
Decent dark chocolate (not necessarily expensive stuff, I just don't like the crap with lots of sugar & various vegetable fats instead of cocoa mass & cocoa butter)
YY to free range eggs, I'd sooner go without than eat caged eggs

Butter too

Good, real-leather boots. I've bought cheap boots once, and they made my legs sweat.

I'd rather save up for 5 years than go cheap again.

Oh yes I only ever buy Maldon salt too.

Wouldn't ever change despite alternatives being far cheaper!

I have bought loose leaf tea when I have been time rich/cash poor, but it was still Yorkshire!

Good quality pasta my DH would notice if I used a poor quality one, Italian knows his pasta.
