But think about it as cost pet use. If you drink a lot of coffee, or just enjoy coffee and would use it once a day, it pays for itself.
I always look at things in a cost per use/wear way. |

I think any kind of tech you'll use every day would be worth it but get what you mean when you can't be bothered to research in depth for what you need haha |

That's a good way of looking at it, I only drink 1 or 2 cups a day and was looking at it as the the last grinder I would ever need to buy. I owe it to the coffee beans to grind it properly, right? |

Lol you do though maybe there’s one cheaper does the same job? More money to spend on the important bit (really good beans) |

"£200 is a lot for a hand grinder. What makes it different to one that costs £50 or £100?"
Grind uniformity is the biggest reason. It provides better extraction of the coffee when brewing because the grind size is mostly consistent that you can't get with a £50 grinder. |

We grind our own coffee but I think we paid less then £20 for our grinder.I'm sure we'll have to get another one eventually but £200 seems a bit excessive!
Mike
PS I should add that it's Mandy who does the actual grinding and I just enjoy the end product! |

There probably is to be honest and I could be overthinking the smaller things I may not even notice when it comes to grinding it and drinking my coffee because of the different reviews I've seen. |

Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
I'm wondering how to sort out my driveway. It's currently gravel, which is very prone to s (Yes, there's a barrier underneath, it's all just surface e stuff, but there's soooo much).
Can't decide whether to have it tarmac, concrete, or resin'd. Block paving def too expensive (plus would need ing too), tarmac sinks, concrete is expensive, resin even more expensive, unless I got over the gravel, but that would require a 100% free starting point.
And could possibly do a hybrid where the bit where it meets the pavement as tarmac, but the bit where the car stands as concrete.
Very tedious, don't bother reading this... |

"Lego Technic McLaren F1 car at £160.
Some of those Lego sets can be pretty expensive, but they do look cool "
This one was done in collaboration with the McLaren F1 team. It looks really good. It's the 2022 version of the car as well. |

Then buy the £200.
Life is going to become a little more difficult for all of us. Good coffee, properly brewed can make a big difference to a tough day and enhance a good day. 
Enjoy grinding  |

I want to buy the No7 moisturiser that everyone goes on about but as a life long devotee of the £1:99 stuff from Aldi I can't bring myself to pay the £35 odd quid for it. Even at 3 for the price of 2 with a £5 off voucher  |

I think that's part if it too. Life is becoming difficult that it can be tough to justify such an extravagant purchase. I might do a bit more research and see if I can meet my needs at a cheaper price |

I would say you can buy it once and see what it's like, but I suppose the danger is that you prefer the £35 one and might not want to go back  |

I’m not normally a materialistic person but - a new pair of trainers that I love but won’t want to wear as they’ll get dirty. Shoes, lots & lots of shoes. And I need a new pair of jeans as my favourite old pair now have holes in

"Yeah. A keratin straightening treatment. At £250 it's an awful lot for hair but not worrying for a few months would be a blessing.
But £250.

Really? But I want to have beautiful straight flowing hair without frizz. And effort. And relaxing it.
Thank you for the tip. |

It's a decent impulse buy, that! Of course, you need to buy the games too |

Honestly it was all lovely and smooth and straight... Until I washed it. Then it just went back to poofy and curly with slightly less frizz. I called the salon up to complain and they were like "it's not a Brazilian blow-dry it's a keratin treatment".
Granted my hair did feel a lot thicker. But the SLS free shampoos I had to use didn't agree with my scalp and I ended up washing it out after a couple of weeks. |

Keep an eye on Boots £10 Tuesdays. They have some great stuff on there and it changes every week

So after a bit more research, I realised I didn't need a grinder that expensive for what I do so I bought a slightly cheaper one. It was still £125 but it arrived today and I'm probably more giddy than I should be over a coffee grinder |

"A Scotty Cameron putter.
I assume that's a golf club? What makes that one better than a regular putter? "
And that’s the reason I am humming and ahhhing’ over it.
But I had one, and it was unbelievably balanced because they’re at the top of their game for a golf putter. (Imagine when Shelby joined Ford, Cameron is the Shelby of putter manufacturers)
So I sold mine about 5yr ago as I didn’t think I would play again. But now I do, and I have a Putter that was given to me…and it’s not the same.  But, the ball goes in the whole right? And it’s not going to cost me £300 to replace it. |

I supposed it depends how often you'll play golf, maybe spending that much on a putter will motivate you to keep playing |

Regenerate tooth paste, had it before, it's basically the toothpaste that Sensodyne wishes it was.
It really works at stopping teeth from hurting with cold foods.
Mind you Only Boots sells it on the high street and that's £10 a pop.
If it was half price, then I'd be really tempted. |

If you've got an NHS dentist, try speaking to them. I got prescribed the colgate duraphat 5000. She did me a prescription for 6 tubes for one prescription charge which I can't really complain about! It's been the best thing ever for my sensitivity. |
