Worth it: veggies from the farmer's market.

Not worth it: organic grocery store produce. Just go to the farmer's market.

Can the person with the French products come back and post with links!?

worth it: weekly housekeeper, quality bidets, Great Jones bakeware, gel pedicures, bikini waxes, a riding lawnmower.

not worth it: my Dyson hairdryer (I hopped on the bandwagon but realize I blow dry my hair about once a month), bringing luggage on vacation (I'm with the backpack person), Uggs,
a property manager for our condo in Florida (seriously, we could do it ourselves)

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!


They aren't even cheaper by the time you pay for bags, your seat, your CARRY ON, etc. I hate those airlines.

Cars. I've always drive luxury cars and they're so much nicer than the rental cars I've gotten or my friend's cars I've been in, even when those are newer.

Big engines, nice interiors, etc. are so worth it when you spend a good chunk of your time in your car.

Music and sports for the kids. I don't care enough about things otherwise.

Have you priced Southwest recently? Even with bag fees, Spirit and Frontier are significantly cheaper for most flights unless you are booked far in advance when they have a special. I booked flights to Florida in November for December flights, and both Spirit and Frontier with bags cost less for two people to fly round trip than for one roundtrip on Southwest. I wound up picking Spirit, and my husband said that the overall experience was better than Southwest because the bag package included early boarding and an assigned seat, avoiding the madness of SW boarding for Florida flights.

I always look down on the poor people; the people who can only afford a toyota or a honda. Really sad for them.
