With steel toes. Been wearing them ever since I started working. Saves me from a lot of potential injuries.

Nah they're trash bags. They go into trash. If you're p**s poor like me, buying expensive trash bags will be like throwing money into trashcan. Just work on your habits, don't pour liquid stuff in there, don't throw out sharp objects without securing them first, organic stuff that smells goes into another bin. Etc.

Precisely...

The first time I spent £1,000 on a mattress I was worried, my god it makes a difference though.

Agree with the pet food. My senior kittizen was looking pretty old for a few years. Switched her to much better food and the 18 year old is a kitten again.

I cleaned up the garage recently and found multiples of safety equipment, you can never find it when you need it so you buy more. I now have 2 massive DeWalt boxes full of the stuff.

The gas ripened one’s taste like dirt to me.

so glad some people cheap out or else I'd have nothing to make snarky comments about at work

Nobody will ever forget the great toilet wars of 2020

Most of my pots and pans are good quality. However, the best grilled cheese pan I have was 4.99.

My father told me, on his deathbed, "don't buy the fake parmesan cheese. Buy the good stuff, from Parma, it's worth it". I always follow is advice. I never buy the grated stuff and either Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano.

Or any other car part. I work in auto parts, The cheap junk people put on their cars is appalling.

Those dx racer chairs you see twitch streamers use are junk. Get yourself a nice ergonomic executive chair instead

Ah yes, another person who has never been in a situation where the corrupt brand is all you can afford. People always claim they'd rather go broke and buy ethical but never consider that when you're broke you can't buy ethical and you still need to eat.

The most expensive condoms are still cheaper than a kid

That's a paragliding wing in the picture, not a parachute. Still wouldn't save on either...

Like Jim Gaffigan said, "We won't buy a used mattress yet we'll pay $200 a night to sleep on one....".

And for the love of all tastebuds - stay away from Starbucks!

The day I finished school was the last day I ever wore a backpack.

Never tried dog s**t .. or ANY s**t, for that matter. I'll believe you ...

Q-Tips literally has a warning on the box NOT TO PUT THEM IN YOUR EARS!

You can get them free in Scotland - there's tons of places you just go pick up a paper bag filled with supplies, which I think is awesome.

Get a fire blanket too.

My house is full of useless c**p that makes me happy. Loads of tools and parts for my cars and similarly loads of bits for computers. For some reason I retain all the original bits, even when I've replaced them!

I spent £30 on a pair of Sony Bluetooth headphones. They are great, the sound quality is brilliant and they are so comfy. The little earbuds like the EarPods etc physically hurt my ears and are so painful.

I swear by my sennheisers. Stay away from bose and Beats. They are overpriced junk.

I can't use ear buds, my ears are too small and they always fall out, make them sore. Have this speaker that goes around my neck. It's great, since not fond of headphones as I'm claustrophobic.

Alternatively, don't throw garbage power in to expensive headphones. Those things need power. Use a decent digital to analog converter and a headphone amplifier before you judge.

Don't go cheap on *any* music gear if you can afford not to. You haven't heard music until you've heard it on a high-quality sound system. I feel sorry for kids who think an iPod and ear buds are the ultimate musical experience.

MDRXB-500, used to sell for $50, light, super comfortable, and when the thin plastic stuff wore off the ear pads somewhat breathable. best headphones I ever had, Sony discontinued them because they were better than their higher end headphones, patents should be at least half way to expired, as soon as the patents run out someone needs to clone and mass market them.

For decades it's been Sony earbuds for $15. Though I finally paid $40 for a pair of wireless. Such good reliable sound quality

Just don't do it. I've had both corneal transplants, one cataract removed, stitches taken out and put back in. My left eyelid won't open more than half way. 10 years of sheer hell.

Women's razors are expensive. Dollar shave club fan.

I have a boiled wool coat. People ask me why I'm not cold in a wool coat ( they think it's one of those single layer wool). I hand it to them and they are stunned by how much it weighs - waterproof, windproof and really warm.
