and feels even better taking off at the end of the day!

Completely agree! Someone once told me to spend money on my bed, my couch and my shoes because you spend the majority of your life in them - have always followed that advice!

The Vimes Theory on social economics and boots. If you can afford good quality boots or other items they will not only outlast the cheap ones, but in the long run you'll spend less than if you had bought the cheap ones.

*snickering in European*

100%!

1000 times yes. I miss my Marmot Coat:-(

2 ply? I never erven consider buying something with less then 3!

Yep. I only use real butter, even tho i dont actually like the taste. I buy it cause its not full of plastic and doesnt come in a plastic tub

My workplace keeps buying thinner and thinner trash bags. This latest batch splits every time and we end up double bagging. So we go thru twice as many bags now and they wonder why we ask to order more so often.

Shoes in general. Better to have one good pair than two crappy ones

The color of the yolk has nothing to do with them being organic. It has to do with what the chicken eats. It TENDS to mean that the chicken has access to better food and living conditions, but does not guarantee it. Farmers can easily add supplements to normal grain/feed to produce darker yolks, while still not meeting requirements for 'free range' or 'organic'.

This is one I was thinking of adding. I work in the new car business, and the manufacturer brand we sell isn't cheap, but, they last. Good wipers can last you years. I never had to change them on my last lease, that was 3 years. Buy good ones

Same. I occasionally wear other comfy shoes like crocs, etc but if I'm going to be wearing shoes for a few hours or more, gotta be Birkenstock. They have gotten outrageously costly, but they support my feet perfectly and last practically forever. I have older sandals and newer, clogs (about 20+ yrs old), closed heel slip on shoes and shearling ankle high boots. I love them because they give me happy feet!

If you're like me and spent 10-12 hours a day on your feet, yeah you need good shoes. I need a new pair of work shoes and I'm looking at some Steel toed Non-skids that run about $90. It's a lot but the last time I bought that brand they lasted about 7 years.

I tore up my ankle many years ago and have excruciating plantar fascitis as a result. I can be on my feet all day with Vionic shoes. No other orthopedic shoe works as well for me, and they make some really cute shoes.

same with boots, my Doc Martins are expensive but every pair I have had last me over 10 years till the sole was completely worn. break down the cost yearly and I saved a ton.

The days when I could happily spend $200 on Italian leather shoes, those were the days when the rent on my 4 room flat was only $36 a week. I’m old as dirt.

I sure do wish they would make CUTE shoes and boots for women with WIDE feet! And no, "C" is not wide! It's ridiculous - basically you get stuck with shoes that look orthopedic, very unattractive and usually quite cheaply made. Women want cute, quality and FIT! I am definitely willing to pay for them, but have a closet full of failures....

John Fluevog shoes are like slippers. You’ll have to live with only one arm after leaving the store, but your feet will cry with happiness.

Yes, take care of your feet. They will thank you when you get older. I have found shoe/bootmakers that manage to do style and comfort. This footwear lasts for years. Invest in good slippers too.

Same with work shoes, a $200 pair will last 5 years, a $50 will last 6 months, be painful and cold. Do the math\

I used to have to spend 10 hours on my feet daily at work. Finding professional women's shoes that can handle that is so, so difficult.

Uuuh... that is very... vague? But I agree, I do indeed prefer shoes over walking barefoot

A few years ago the Senseo broke. It was 3 yo!!! Got out the old filter coffee machine and oh boy, what a difference. The coffee is great and cheaper to make too.

My hair and skin cry if I don't feed them Olive oil daily. I never run out of it. Edit: extra virgin olive oil is the best.

"rare" treat

In South Africa it's Sunlight dishwashing liquid. Other brands just don't compare.

For those gaming and working from home, this makes a huge difference.

This. I know my day's going to suck a little bit more if I get to work and realise I forgot my good pen. Cheap biro's are horrible.

We got a German brand, Karcher. Also very good value for money.

I did too. I love Tomboy X. I am partial to their longer women's boxer briefs. Why should guys wear comfy undies and women wear horrible ones. You do get what you pay for in these

Need some examples, please!

Oh yesssss....no mystery meat for my cat..... He eats better than I do.....

This 100%. I know they don't work for everyone, but if you can, please do try them. Yes, you have to get a bit more up close and personal with things, but it's not only more comfortable for a lot of people (for a lot of reasons), it's also very budget-friendly, as you can use one cup for up to 7 years (though I'm guessing it varies by brand), and it's putting much less of a strain on the environment than disposable products. If you can't use them, or don't like them for any reason whatsoever, it's fine, no biggie, but please, do try if you can.

The real stuff, a hunk of it. Not pre grated, or that dry stuff in cans.

I wasn't much into whiskey, until I found the products of Islay.

Especially kids art supplies. The good sulfite construction paper is thicker, stronger, and fades a lot less. Crayons, scissors, brushes, colored pencils, paint, clay, and ceramic glazes are always better at a higher dollar and last for years. The difference it makes in the quality of their artwork is amazing. And I taught them how to take care of their supplies properly and how to conserve the high end stuff. 700-1100 students per year.

Try high quality wired earphones, next level. Bluetooth really drops the quality.

I generally buy Motorola. Cheapest option, does the job. Stay away from Huawei or any phone that comes with TikTok pre installed. I'm normally not a conspiracy theory person, but TikTok is a huge red flag for personal security.
