A decent pint.
meat
Percy Pigs are slightly better than Eric the Elephants so I don’t mind paying a bit more for them
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
wire magazine
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.
Public services
Like paying a pound for the loo at the train station?
Think it’s a dogging thing
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.
Bike kit.
chopped tomatoes
pasta
trainers
fresh tomatoes
tomato ketchup
fried green tomatoes at the whistlestop café (special edition)
Baked Beans
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).
