Bungie cord, bandages, athletic shoes, brakes, and birth control!

Coffee and chocolate!

Cars and guitars

Really good whole bean coffee.

All-beef hot dogs (e.g., Hebrew National). Most regular dogs can't compare for flavor!

A good pair of low-heel ballroom dance shoes. When you dance and spin all night you want to be comfortable.

A good pair of figure ice skates, and roller skates. Same reason.

Once you try a bidet you will never go back to TP.

Traveling, going out with friends, books, and tools. The last one is my favorite cause I like to fix.

I always have to buy Puffs with lotion, no other tissue will do!

and booze, life is to short to drink cheap booze.

I so agree with the TP! With many other things it's trial and error, such as with store brands vs name brands. It depends quite a bit on what is personally important to you.

A good espresso machine, 13 or 15 BAR, not a steam driven one. You’ll never enjoy something at a coffee shop as much as an espresso drink you make yourself on one of these.

LOL. Love the question and your answer. For me -- books, music, movies, a good cheeseburger.

Divorce

Paper towels

Socks, underwear, sushi, music, and movies.

Skincare, chocolate and vodka

Removal men when moving house!

Education! Everything flows from a solid understanding of what's going on. In my opinion, it's the only hope for the survival of humankind. Too bad right-wing politicians refuse to fund it and spend all that money on military defense. Not really worth it!

A good sound card for your computer. Most come with the most basic cheap ones. If like me you listen to music off your computer and into your sound system, then a good DAC is a must

I have to agree with chocolate, beer, running shoes, and toilet paper (the Walmart cheap stuff, as horrible as Walmart is, is quite good) -- but I'll add computers. It might depend on your needs and uses, but it was well worth the additional money to switch to Mac 8 years ago. I switched out my iMac around Xmastime after it developed a dark spot on the monitor that made part of the screen a little harder to see (I was going to replace it this summer anyway). My air Mac laptop (or whatever the technical name is) lasted 4 years before a drop on the floor cracked the screen. I had had it for 4 years at that point -- my cheap laptops (at about half the price) lasted 2 good years with an additional 2 years at so-so levels. The airMac -- was working great until I dropped it.

A good pair of shoes. A good winter coat. A good bra.

Real butter

I never go cheap on a bed or a pair of glasses.

You hit it with TP! I would also spend my last 25$ on chicken tikka masala with unlimited naan....
