Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

Cannabis. Quality typically scales with price.

If you grow your own, you get the best of all worlds. Some of the best cannabis you can obtain is shit you grew yourself.

Truth be told, I haven't actually bought flower for some years for the above reason :) Good homegrown beats dispo by a long shot.

Tools. Life's too short to work with shit. Knifes. Bikes. Shoes. Same reason.

Television. I absolutely cannot stand TVs with bad picture quality. I look at it for hours every evening so it’s worth it to get something that doesn’t bother me.

This but for monitors, I bought the drawing tablet I have because I cannot stand color shifting and bad color rep. Same with my monitors, if the colors are so off that one is visibly more blue than the other I get so annoyed I dont use it.

Luckily enough laptops tend to have pretty color-accurate screens thanks to everyone trying to copy apple (i still miss removeable batteries)

Butter. Quality butter is maybe 2 bucks more than the cheap stuff, and absolutely worth it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We have good butter and cheap ass store brand butter and I alternate depending on how much you will be able to taste the butter in the recipe

Boots. I bought a pair of good leather boots after trying multiple cheaper brands- 4 years and they're still going strong.
