Chocolate
Earphones
Burritos from the nice burrito place rather than Taco Bell

Toilet roll.

Bread.

Laser eye surgery.

I will always pay more for shoes, clothes made with natural materials and skincare. Haven’t been in a primark or h&m since 2010. Bad and bougie.

shampoo
clothes
headphones

I wouldn’t ever buy expensive toilet roll at full price but if it’s on offer then ok. Otherwise the mid range stuff is fine.

pretty much everything to be honest. i get the most expensive version i could afford of pretty much everything

Coffee. I’ll happily buy own brand stuff, but you have to shell out £3 for a decent cup of coffee.

I must admit the cheapo stuff Lidl stocks is pretty decent though

Clothes. I’ve found cheap stuff to be largely a false economy.
Torture-free food.

Some clothes.

Some musical equipment (need to be careful to not fall into the “more expensive = better” trap because budget gear nowadays is astonishingly better than the equivalent stuff from even ten years ago, but some stuff just costs more and that’s ok).
