If you are of an improved SES as an adult, what items/products did you start buying?

Where do you buy your tshirts?

My favorites are J Crew, the vintage cotton (scoop, v or long sleeved).

Grocery delivery (of healthy food only)
Stopped eating junk and processed food completely
Paid for multiple gym/fitness memberships and services
Paid to improve my garden
Don’t wait for sales. I just buy clothes that fit and don’t worry if it’s on sale.

Hand soap in the dispenser and good body washes etc. Growing up we just had these little pieces of grocery store brand soap for everything. I remember begging for suave shampoo

Fresh fruit instead of frozen
Smaller sizes of food and paper products (not bulk)
Avocados
Pedicures
House cleaning inside
Window washers, gutter cleaners, tree pruners
High quality shoes
Car washes
Leisure travel that requires a flight
New cars, not used
New clothes, not thrift store

The list between me growing up LMC and me middle aged and UMC is seemingly endless

Saatva mattresses for every bedroom, we do one high end vacation a year ( this year it’s Canary Islands) and once a year we think of someone in our family and send them $500-$700. This year it was my cousins daughter who struggled in college but finally graduated and is interning at an architectural firm.

I am a penny pincher otherwise. You won’t catch me I Whole Foods when Aldi or Lido does just fine. Kids are in public, old navy is my jam as is target and entertainment comes from either library, neighborhood events, or matinee movies.

Edit ^ LIDL - not Lido*

High end linens. I grew up with raggedy towels sheets and pillow slips and can’t resist high quality linens.

It is my only extravagance.
