I’ve learned the hard way, more times than I’d like to admit, that buying cheap almost always means buying twice. The suspiciously affordable blow dryer breaks after a few uses, and the polyester sweater for $5 becomes unwearable after one washing.

Now I try to fight the frugal urge and not buy the cheapest variant of what I need. However, paying more doesn’t automatically guarantee that you’re buying a quality product. So how can you know you’re purchasing an item that’s going to last you and save you money in the long run?

Well, the people in the Buy It For Life community might have the answer to that question. They share high-quality, durable, and practical products that are worth every penny because they can be bought once and used for a lifetime. If you’re interested in saving some coin and helping the earth in the process, scroll down to find the top products that have served others well.

    All something like this needs is regular oiling and every decade or two replacing the oil wicks.

    Almost half of Gen Z adults believe that companies are less interested in making high-quality products than in the past. 

    Well, they’re absolutely right to think this, as businesses now prioritize making goods in the fastest and least expensive ways to meet the growing needs of consumers, i.e., us. To be able to do that, they cheap out on materials and labor, which downgrades quality.

    My husband was wanting to do something similar with our old fridge (not that old, mind you). It's in the garage, but hasn't held up as well as this one.

    This leaves buyers with a lot of crappy things that they’re forced to throw out after a short amount of time. Sadly, these items don’t leave our planet. They accumulate, polluting our environment. Not to mention the resources needed to create them in the first place and the by-products and chemicals that are released into the atmosphere in their manufacturing process.

    The Buy It For Life (BIFL) movement that gained in the early to mid-2000s also supports shopping for well-designed and manufactured items that last a lifetime so they don’t have to be purchased ever again, this way saving money as well as the planet. Ironically, it seems that we’re trying to rewind back to a time before the Industrial Revolution when buying something for life was nothing out of the ordinary.

    Ode To My Beautiful Red Pot

    Ode To My Beautiful Red Pot

    Thrifted this 10 years ago for $12 and use it every day! 1970s Dansk Kobenstyle 3qt Dutch oven. It’s so pretty it just stays on my stovetop. I love the design and because it’s carbon steel, it’s much lighter than cast iron and easier to use on the stove. I use it for truly everything and the lid doubles as a trivet. 100/10 design! When I got it someone had burnt rice onto it and since then ive revived it several more times without chipping the enamel inside :) Highly recommend the vintage ones since they’re about the same price on eBay as the new ones. Just check that there’s no enamel chips on the inside past the rim.

    Take a socks company, Darn Tough, for example. Its CEO, Ric Cabot, confirmed that buying their business products means that customers are purchasing them for life. “In the long run, you could buy one pair of our socks, spend 20 bucks or so, and never have to buy another pair of socks. If you look at it that way, it’s the best investment,” he said. They also recycle everything that people return and make them into emergency blankets, dog toys, and stuffing for airline seats.

    Can’t Beat Old School

    Can’t Beat Old School

    10 years ago I bought this set up and it has held up incredibly well. As you can see, it’s an old spice cup, an Edwin Jagger razor, the brush is silvertip badger (I can’t for the life of me remember from where. Fire something I think, geofatboy recommended them at that time) and decent soaps/blades. Always gives me a great shave and no bumps. Hate cream in a can as it always made my face feel “clogged”. All of this is still readily available besides the brush and fairly easy to obtain! Not pictured, but I also highly recommend the Merker slant bar!

    5 More Years Before I Can Get Antique Tags!

    5 More Years Before I Can Get Antique Tags!

    Bought this 2004 honda odyssey in 2021. I was "fiscally challenged" at that point. It's been an amazing car, just crossed 220k miles. Been recently offered $350 by carmax for it lol.
    I won't lie though, it needs a bit of work all the time. Replaced: 2021: exhaust leaks 2022: engine mounts 2023: catalytic converter (stolen), o2 sensor 2024: needs a new rear link control arm
    It used to have an oil leak from the bolt at the bottom of the oil pan. That somehow fixed itself. Overall it's been a really good purchase and now functions as a solid second car. I often take the back seats out and use this to haul furniture or for van camping. 10/10 would recommend. As the title says, 5 more years and I can get antique plates <3

    Not as amazing as the old Intellipoint trackballs from the early 2000s. I have one of those. Other than needing to clean the contacts for the ball occasionally, it still works flawlessly 25 years later.

    I’ve Had This Tempurpedic Pillow For Nearly 20 Years And I Haven’t Been Able To Find One Since. I Can’t Sleep Well With Any Other Pillow. Would Anyone Know Where I Can Find One?

    If you bought it BRAND new, then it doesn't belong in this post because it's not a BIFL yet. Come back in 10 years and tell us if it still works like new.

    No, no, no. I love wearing crocs but everyone knows there is a death level threat when you wear out the bottom. Slipping into a split at 50 will take you down a few pegs.

    Speed Queen Tr7 Dr7. Buy Once, Cry Once

    Speed Queen Tr7 Dr7. Buy Once, Cry Once

    Beyond happy with our new purchase. We were tired of our washer and dryer having problems despite only being a few years old. They are definitely built like a tank. I am impressed at the speed of these cycles compared to our old lg front loads. I can’t get over how quiet the washer is on a full spin cycle. Only downside I found was the lack of black options. The Mrs was dead set on having black which limited us to the 7 models.

    Tatami Room Bed Frame

    Tatami Room Bed Frame

    After a five month wait, our tatami room bed frame has arrived! This is the King honey oak platform bed (regular height) with Mado headboard. I was really impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the frame, as well as the ease in putting it together. It did truly take longer to unpackage it from all the layers it was packed in (not a bad thing)! I do see this as a buy it for life purchase, so the wait of a few months in the grand scheme of things wasn’t that bad.

    But if you bought it brand new, it's not yet a BIFL. Come back in 10 years and tell us it's JUST as comfortable as the first night you slept on it.
