What expensive thing is worth the money?

[flipflopfloop]

I’ll start, McCain frozen jacket potatoes. Supermarket own brand never cook through properly and it’s so handy to just have one in the freezer

A good diet with lots of veg

Children's car seats that are tested beyond the absolute minimum safety standards.

And Oatly chocolate milk, so much nicer than supermarket own brand.

Latex pillow and coverless duvet. Feels so good!

A good quality 3/4 length winter coat (mine looks like a sleeping bag and is super warm and cozy).

Proper old fashioned oil based fence paint - means you don't have to repaint it every year (cheap mainstream fence paint washes out in less than a year!)

A comfortable sofa. We bought incliners and can't imagine not having them now.

A good hairdresser.

I'm with you on McCain frozen jacket potatoes! I buy them and consider it a treat to have them ready.

Along with, Lurpak salty butter, expensive but totally worth it.

Yes to this! We tried various alternatives when a tub reached £5 a while back. Even bought a butter dish for packs of butter. It was all for nowt. It wasn't worth the disappointment.

M&S Rotisserie Chicken. Hands down the best one and even though the price has just increased again they are so worth it.

Quality chocolate for baking.

Ditto flour.

McVities Digestives. (OK - so not the most expensive thing in the world, but own brand crap need not apply)

FedEx/UPS when sending parcels to the US - Royal Mail/USPS may be cheaper but it isn’t ever worth the stress of wondering if it will ever get there!

Sofa. Outdoor gear, and I don’t mean The North Face, I mean Arc’teryx. Childcare.

Cats.

3 of the hairy little buggers. Cost a fortune to run but the joy they give outweighs that by a factor of 10000000000000

If you have dogs or cats, a decent robot vacuum (or two). Amazing little buggers.

A decent pillow. I like a nice firm memory foam one.

Proper mature cheddar.

First class air travel.

Agree with a number on here…

my contribution is my bbhugme pregnancy pillow. Flipping amazing and used long after pregnancy

Good food. It buys health

Philips lumea

Mattresses and branded tampons, own brand don't cut it

A decent blender. My Vitamix was worth every penny!

My BMW convertible.
Premium tyres for said BMW.
Business class on long-haul, particularly if it’s an overnight flight.
Apple devices.
Yorkshire tea.

Coffee, chocolate, cheese, tinned tomatoes, sheets, pots & pans, bras, shoes.

Shampoo and conditioner

Pillows

Shoes

Hairdressers

Good quality cookware. I have a few Le Creuset pieces that are older than I am and still perfect. Decent shoes and sturdy well-made bags also last for ages and are more than worth the extra money. The holy grail of an umbrella that won't break or blow inside out (can't bring myself to fork out loads for a brolly though).

Business class flights, Pai skincare, decent thread count sheets, and Heinz mayonnaise.

Spontex washing up sponges !

I have just tried doing the washing up ith a tiddly piffling economy one ..

So not worth trying to save money on !

…and that old adage…shoes and mattresses.

And bras!

Running shoes, walking boots and outdoor/sports gear which gets used as such.

Rucsacs.
