Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

A good hair shampoo

High thread count silk sheets

Complete opposite for me. High thread count or soft jersey means it's going to bunch up and make me sweat. 100% old school cotton percale is the only way to combat this, though they are still not cheap sheets.

Cannabis. Quality typically scales with price.

Television. I absolutely cannot stand TVs with bad picture quality. I look at it for hours every evening so it’s worth it to get something that doesn’t bother me.

Steaks. But still in a cheapish way. I was thoroughly disappointed in a ribeye I ordered at a restaurant once. Since then I wouldn't order one of those in a restaurant, but I will buy my own. Ribeye is my go to. Sous vide is the cooking method. Cannot be beat.

So, don't trust Dollar General steaks then?

Butter. Quality butter is maybe 2 bucks more than the cheap stuff, and absolutely worth it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We have good butter and cheap ass store brand butter and I alternate depending on how much you will be able to taste the butter in the recipe

Degree is what works for me

Boots. I bought a pair of good leather boots after trying multiple cheaper brands- 4 years and they're still going strong.
