Been thinking about this for a while and I gotta say food. If it looks spoiled, I just throw it out. I’m not going to risk getting sick over cheap food that’s probably gone bad anymore.

Good quality, comfortable shoes.

Well, yeah, don’t get the plastic one and keep reusing it when a metal one is sturdier.
If you write or sign things a lot, get a couple decent pens. Not expensive ones you'd be upset if you lost them, but not sad, free office pens.
I've gotten numerous compliments on my Pilot Precise V5. It's bold, but easy to read, and if anyone borrows it, they'll notice it's smooth and feels nice to use.
The Precise is a rollerball. If you need a ballpoint, Uni Jetstream is great. Pentel Energel or Bic Inkjoys for gel. Grab a pair of each and you can write on near anything.
Zebra Sarasa Grand is a nice metal body with binder clip type clip if you want an upgrade. The above pens all use the same size refill, so if you like one body but a different ink, you can swap them.
The Grand is around $10, the rest you can find for around $5 for a pair.
If you're using a pen all day, it's an upgrade you'll notice whenever you grab a freebie pen and it's scratchy, the ink skips, and it smudges. It's a nice upgrade that will feel more luxurious than the price would imply.
I love the Parker Jotter. It's a classic and looks so sleek.
Jotter is a classic!
Check out the OHTO Rays for something similar. It's a plastic body so it cuts down on both weight and price.
Pentex EnerGels are AWESOME for inexpensive pens.
Those were my gateway ~~drug~~ pen!
I like the soft touch body of the Inkjoys more, and I feel Energels don't last as long, but they're still one of the top budget pens and I like they come in a number of body styles and colors.

The Pilot Precice (V7 because I'm not a heathen) literally got me my first date with my current fiancée. I barely handwrite anymore since I graduated a few years ago but still make a note to grab a pack of those pens whenever I notice my home supply is getting a little thin. They're really lovely things
That's awesome! I have fancier pens, but the Precise is always the attention grabber when people write with it.
My gf is a 0.7 user and hates all my 0.5, but I write smaller than she does and the ink lasts longer as a bonus. She writes bigger to enjoy the bold lines.
I've never known any kind of electronic device to not follow the rule of "you get what you pay for." If you want it to work practically forever, go with the expensive one.
and for anything computer-related, buy enterprise grade, not consumer stuff.
I worked as an it business analyst for a larger multinational for a hot minute. Lenovo laptops were beastly and rarely broke. When 10 000 employees are all using t series laptops for years, with few breaking down, it made me appreciate your comment quite a bit.
I'm not trying to plug lenovo. There's very little difference between lenovo and dell at the enterprise level. Those are the ones I have experience with and so I'll comment on those. Just buy actual business laptops. Especially if you're not gaming
And if you are gaming I highly recommend avoiding anything labeled as being for gaming or gamers. A lot of that stuff is just cheap shit they want to sell for more and the fanciest thing about them is that they put RGB lights in it. Gaming chairs are a great example; you can often find the same exact chairs for hundreds of dollars cheaper by getting them as an office chair. They just might not come in super bright colors or have an e-sport team's logo on them.

water filters, go whole house if able but get decent filters for kitchen and bathroom faucets, including the shower. You don't want to breath city water steam, or soak in it. imo it'll help improve your quality of life and be kinder to your skin. Many last for a good while so it's not really that costly.
