What are some of the best purchases of your life? (self.asklemmy)

For me it has to be:

Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
Books ($0 @ library)
- "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
- "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
- "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

Latex pillows

Silk / wool quilts

A touch bar bin by Simple Human - sounds ridiculous, but I love that thing every time I use it haha

Zojirushi flasks

An ergonomic mouse - after trying quite a few, the one by DTX is wonderful

Tom Bihn Cafe Bag - love a nice bag!

I have a wool duvet with cotton shell and it's the greatest purchase I've ever made.

Genuinely keeps you warm in the winter, cool in the summer and it's very thin so you don't feel like you're suffocating in covers.

They are so comfortable! My cat goes crazy when she sniffs it too, so that's good I guess!

Do you mind sharing the brand? I would love to get a new duvet

[–] Urbanfox 2 points 1 year ago

It's a Fogarty duvet, absolute dream!

I read "Latex" LaTeX

[–] badtooth 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never heard of latex pillows before. Before o looked it up I was picturing some kind of vinyl looking pillow - not comfy!

[–] trouser_mouse 3 points 1 year ago

They are really comfortable - they can be a little warm, so you need good cooling pillow cases, but they are soft yet very supportive!
