Things I never cheap out on

Posted on 3 August 2010 in Personal | View Comments

I have been known to buy stuff that is “cheap and cheerful” when I spot a bargain. But there are some things I just have to splurge on because the cheaper alternatives are just dreadful!

What do you guys always pay premium prices for?

Here’s my list:

  • ketchup
  • toilet paper
  • yoghurt
  • hair straighteners
  • hotels
  • peanut butter
  • frozen pizzas
  • sheets
  • tweezers
  • vacuum cleaners
  • ice cream
  • toothpaste
  • towels
  • eyeliner
  • gym shoes
  • nailpolish
  • electronic devices
  • wall paint
  • car washes
  • small kitchen appliances
  • chicken breast
  • cat flea spot-on treatment

    Damn. Beyond the girl stuff, this list looks like I wrote it. Hotels especially! I learned that the hard way.
