LOL. I just had that convo with my husband the other day. He was looking for mayo. Gave him my bottle. It was avocado oil and something. Still looking for his mayo. Told him I hadn't bought any in the last 4-5 years. He made sure I put Hellman's on my next grocery list.

Auto parts in general but especially brakes. It's shocking to see how many people put the cheapest parts on their cars.

Add quilts and sheets to that.

Just get fixed, It´s cheaper in the long term..

Totally agree.

I tell my son, get the best tools you can afford, it's different than buying the best.

Associating expensive with good is often a mistake.

Regardless of tipping culture difference, the gratuity is not in itself a part of the transaction, or at least it should not be.

I know weekend warriors bragging about their $8-10k bikes. At that point I’m buying a motorcycle or putting a down payment on a car. :-)

Still got my doc martens from the 90’s…I still can rock that look at 51.

If you live in Europe, yes. But beware, great chocolate is instant diabetes.

My youngest son didn't like tomatoes but loved ketchup. When he came to do groceries with us, he always chose the one with no tomatoes in the front. Because obviously, Heinz was made out of tomatoes, but not the others. LOL.

I buy cheap bottles and my hair looks great. Everyone tells me.

You'll still be forking out a lot of money for maintenance though. Granted, less than rent but still a lot more than I thought!

This used to be much more important in decades past than it is today. Every time I buy paint I stand in awe at how much better it is than it used to be: non-drip, non-toxic, smells nice, covers well, covers a wider area, doesn't dry out, doesn't go mouldy, UV stable, resistent to scratches, easily washable, better sheen control, more vibrant colours. These days you would have to go out of your way to find a bad paint.

I can't help smiling at this one. Pay more for an amicable divorce. Don't fight a bitter divorce over every last cent.

At school we were taught that if we ever go to court we should show respect by wearing a suit, or at least decent shirt & shoes etc. So in my early adult years I had to go to court over a driving offence (driving with no road tax). So I turned up in my best white shirt. Best, well only, shoes and trousers. Worst mistake I ever made. Everyone else there looked scruffy, either in ripped jeans or nasty stained tatty tracksuits. And when it came to them paying fines they were offering to pay something silly like £5 a week which the court accepted every time. So when it was my turn I Stood up and offered to pay everything I could afford (£80 a week until £400 was paid off) but they turned it down and said I HAD to pay all of it there and then. This is despite me showing my wages and proof of outgoings which all showed I had £80 spare a week. They saw me in a decent outfit so thought I had money when I really did not. So next time... Dirty clothes full of holes it will be.

Always gotta mention: if you can, get yourself a reusable menstrual cup. I haven't bought feminine supplies in a few years now (except emergencies where i didn't have my cup/a way to buy a new one). And I've found it's much more comfortable, and sanitary as long as you take care of it. ETA they are getting a little cheaper too, 20-30$ at the Walmart here, last I saw.

Annoyingly, the more a piano costs the better it sounds and longer it lasts. Musical instruments seem to be the only branch of sales where price and quality are identical. And if you can afford top of the range then you're richer than I am.

I'd have to have them over every few days just for the floors with our dogs running in and out of the dog door lol

Didee Diaper Service. Good for you. good for the planet.

Splurge on Piksters, both floss and inter-dental brushes. At least ten times as good as Oral--B, and much more fun to use.

Pick up some real Kona coffee. You won't regret it.

Is there such a thing as a good bandaid? I've never met one.

If it isn’t McVities, then I’m sorry, but you must die. I didn’t make the rules.

I had some mental wonders on a trip once. Didn't even need to travel.

There are plenty of places that do comparisons between devices. If you're buying last years flagship it will *not* be a $350 phone. It'll still be an $800 phone, maybe more. Current flagships are well over a $1000 and some are round about the $2k mark. I use GSMArena https://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=12024&idPhone2=11251&idPhone3=10596 (That link shows the specs of the last three samsung flagships side by side.)

What does a "W" Hotel mean?

Hydrox !
