Name an expensive product or service that’s worth it

[Anonymous]

Everyone loves a good deal, but what are some products or services that are expensive compared to the next competitor but totally worth it?
I’ll go first:
1- Lululemon & Athleta yoga pants are worth it on quality, comfort and they last forever.
2 - Spirit or Frontier sound like a good deal, but you won’t ever see me flying on those carriers. Sure, the other carriers have problems too but no discount is worth the total experience and feeling of safety.
This is a survey I’m trying to “tell a story” so please humor me with examples of items you happily pay more for vs the cheaper product. TIA!

What makes Spirit or Frontier unsafe? I’ve flown on both and while they suck for various reasons, I’ve never felt unsafe. Alaska and Southwest are the ones with recent safety disasters. If United starts flying the 737 Max again, I’d consider it an unsafe airline.

I use Dr Bronners 4-1 Sugar soap all over my body, like everywhere, except not my hair. I buy half gallons.

I buy feminine products from France. Shipping is only $25. They have the most amazing things the U.S. does not. We are backwards here.

If there’s any truth to the videos, the passengers seem like the biggest risk. I flew Play once and the only thing I disliked about it was the rude passengers who sat in other people’s seats and kicked the people in front of them.
