I’m a huge proponent of using an item until you absolutely can’t any longer. My shoes are worn until they’re completely ripped open, and my devices aren’t replaced until they no longer turn on. But ideally, I wouldn’t ever have to replace the things I buy, because they would last for the rest of my life!
If you’re also a fan of making purchases that hold up for decades, you’ve come to the right place, pandas. We’ve compiled the best posts of all time from the Buy It For Life subreddit down below. Enjoy scrolling through and celebrating these items that people have definitely gotten their money’s worth from, and be sure to upvote the ones you’d like to have at home too!

Oak Chest. Storing Family S**t Since 1682. Lock Still Working

My 1959 Frigidaire Custom Imperial

This is amazing! I'm obsessed with pink things and would love to have it.
We all want to get the most bang for our buck when we purchase something new. Whether you’re in the market for a new car, a new air fryer or a new pair of jeans, you want to make sure that you don’t have to purchase another one for a very long time. But in the day and age of planned obsolescence, how can we know that what we’re buying will truly stand the test of time?
A great place to start is the Buy It For Life subreddit. This community is dedicated to sharing “practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last.” And the group has amassed an impressive 2.5 million members over the last 13 years, so you can be confident that, no matter what product you want to learn more about, you can probably find it there!

We’re big fans of the Buy It For Life community here at Bored Panda, so it’s far from the first time we’ve covered the group. We hope that if any of you pandas out there are looking to make a big purchase soon, these photos might help inform you of the brands that will be worth your money. After all, there’s nothing worse than shelling out for a product you were promised would be great and then finding out that it was a huge disappointment.
And unfortunately, that seems to happen often nowadays. When I was a kid, my mom bragged endlessly about the refrigerator we had been using for 20 years, her 15-year-old vacuum cleaner and the washing machine that had been around since before she had any children. She was so proud of these purchases that worked just as well as they did on day one, and she dreaded the day that she would ever need to buy new ones. And I have to admit that, as an adult, I finally understand her excitement about these items.

Bought It In '88 With Money My Grandmother Left Me. My Mother Was Upset That I Spent My Inheritance On Something As Ephemeral As A Bicycle. I've Ridden Thousands Of Miles On It, Including A Double Century In 2000. Now It's My Townie Bike, For Shopping, Commuting, And Errands
Argotina Schmurgle 1 year ago (edited)
I've been riding the same bike in London for almost 40 years, when I could no longer peddle it because of arthritis I added a motor. Originally cost £2 in a police auction. About the only part still original is the frame; I knew when I bought it that it had a superb quality frame. It is the bike I could not afford to buy new 2 years earlier, but in the meanwhile BMX bikes had become popular and nobody else wanted a road racer. Best buy I ever made, hope to be able to use it again if I ever get new knees.

Tim Douglass 1 year ago
You ever try to get rid of a piano? People don't play like they did 50-100 years ago, so there isn't the demand. Younger people don't have houses that can accommodate a full-size piano anymore, so you advertise them and you call every music store in the area, and you offer it free to anyone who will take it, and eventually you send it to the dump because no one will take it. In the last 4 years I know of 2 baby grand pianos, in beautiful condition, probably with a paper value of over $5,000 each that ended up being given away, one was literally taken by someone only a day before that nice cherrywood piano would have gone to the dump. All of you "it's a crime!" people need to start collecting them from the ads. Lots and lots and lots of free beautiful old pianos out there for the taking, so get to it! Also worth mentioning that old pianos often need many thousands of dollars worth of repair before they can be a playing instrument again.

When you make a major purchase for your home, such as a large appliance, you will likely do plenty of research to ensure that you get the best one for your purposes. But once you’ve bought it, how do you know how long it’s supposed to last? Well, according to The Spruce, the lifespan of a refrigerator should be about 13 years, while an oven and stove should last you 13 to 15 years. Washing machines are expected to work for a decade, and microwaves usually last about 9 years. Your dishwasher also shouldn't give you any problems for 9 to 10 years.

But if you feel like your household appliances aren’t lasting as long as they used to, you’re not going crazy. They probably aren’t! Everything Breaks explained on their site that modern appliances tend to have shorter lifespans for several reasons. First, they’re more complex. They have more functions and more parts. They might include cameras, connect to Wi-Fi, have touch screens, etc., and the more complex they are, the easier it is for something to go wrong.

Everything Breaks also notes that most appliances aren’t properly tested before hitting the market to ensure that they work as well as they’re supposed to. Without rigorous testing, many issues arise after consumers have already installed these items in their homes. There’s also not a ton of competition in the appliance market, which means major brands don’t have to try as hard to continue making sales. And of course, companies are quick to take any cost-cutting measures they can, which may end up costing their customers much more in the long run.

CNBC has also addressed the issue of appliance lifespans shrinking over the years. Apparently, between 1995 and 2005, homeowners were replacing their appliances every 12 to 13 years. Today, however, most consumers say things need to be replaced every 8 or 9 years. And aside from just having to purchase the new item, inflation makes a new appliance cost about 34% more than it did 15 years prior, Todd Tomalak told CNBC.

These old trucks were built well and sturdy. The plastic and carbon fiber material they use now a days is garbage. The newer material is also way cheaper than back in the day yet trucks cost way more now, when they shouldn't. For such a beautiful vehicle it sucks that they are over priced and not affordable for all who need one.
Kira Okah 1 year ago
Older vehicles are so sturdy that, in the event of a crash, the force of the crash cannot absorbed by the vehicle and is instead transferred to the occupants, leading to higher instances of injury and death. Newer vehicles are designed around the concept of crumple zones, areas whee in the event of a crash they crumple to take the force of the crash instead of transferring that force to the occupants, saving lives. Newer vehicles are much safer.

Making purchases that will last a lifetime is much easier said than done. You can read endless reviews online, watch videos about the product on YouTube and take recommendations from friends, but how do you know that the product will still be standing in 12 years? Companies can pay employers or consumers to write glowing reviews on their websites. And if a product hasn’t been on the market for over a decade, nobody really knows how it will hold up over time!

Be sure to do the math. I have found a number of "Energy Star" appliances that actually use more power than old ones. Especially the ones with all the unnecessary electronics built in. Amps X Volts= Watts. Watts tells you the true power usage that's going to show up on your bill. My 20 yo refrigerator uses less power than any new ones I've looked at. And don't forget, all those electronics consume power at a constant rate. Do you really need Internet access in a refrigerator or stove?

The Phantom Stranger 1 year ago (edited)
I have a pan like this that I inherited from my Grandmother, and it's still the best way to poach an egg that I've ever found.
George Costanza 1 year ago
It's more of a steam-cooked egg than an actual poached egg. But that's semantics.

Steam cooking, essentially. The idea is the same. Temperature held at boiling point of water so it cooks low and slow.

Kids Played The Most With This 25-Year-Old Toy Despite All The Gifts They Got
Daniel Baca 1 year ago (edited)
I had one because my step'-dad bought it in a 55 gallon drum of other toys at an auction. The people who sold it didn't know what they had. I drew so much enjoyment from running my Matchbox cars up the elevator and giving the k**b that one last turn to send them down the ramp
Upstaged75 1 year ago
I had this toy in the 70's. My mom saved all our old stuff and it now belongs to my 4 year old niece. Her older brother played with it too. Along with the barn that moos and the Sesame Street store. They're great toys and kids still love them.

For Christmas, My Grandpa Gave Me The Sheepskin Coat He Wore In His 20s. He Is 70 Now! Still In Mint Condition :)
Tabitha 1 year ago (edited)
Do the math. It’s 2024. Someone who is 70 was born in 1954, and would’ve still been a child or adolescent in the sixties. The coat also looks very seventies to me, so I would say Grandpa was a typical seventies teenager to twenty-something who liked being cool and in fashion. I know this because I’m 63, born at the end of 1960, so was also a teenager in the mid-to-late seventies who liked looking cool and in fashion. Also, skinheads were more eighties than sixties. Never heard of suede heads.

Do proper maintainance of your *quality* items and they will last. S****y things won't last long, even if cared properly. That's why if you can save to buy quality, do it.

My Pioneer Receiver From 1974, Freshly Serviced And Ready For Another 50 Years
The Phantom Stranger 1 year ago (edited)
It disturbs me how many of these exact items my parents or grandparents had 40-plus years ago. But I can remember sitting in front of the stereo and slowly turning the dial on this receiver trying to get the perfect static-free radio signal. Core memory unlocked! (And it just occurred to me that I still have the bookcase that this used to sit in in my living room--complete with the holes drilled in the back for the speaker wires!)

World's Oldest Pairs Of Levi's Jeans Found In A Goldmine 136 Years Later

Sadly, my goddaughter's friends didn't even know that there was any way to make popcorn other than in the microwave. But I have a stovetop popper very similar to this one (which again, came from my grandmother) and the popcorn is far superior to the microwave stuff--and much healthier too!
