Footwear. It's not about designers or brands, it's about the quality, both in terms of comfort and wear. I once bought a pair of £25 boots and the sole peeled off of them within 6 weeks. Meanwhile I've got pairs of £150 boots that have traipsed miles and are still like new. |

Generally everything… buy cheap buy twice.
Alway have had apple computers buy the best keep it for a few years and upgrade and give the kids when I can’t use it for work anymore.
Always buy genuine car parts, I’ve cooking pans and knives that are whilst very expensive will probably last long after I’m gone.
I think it’s a false economy to buy disposable crap… read a quote recently “I’m too poor to buy cheap”
That said I do buy underpants and socks at primark/H&M that’s about it! |

Seconded. The feet must always be comfortable, as must the erogenous zone, although comfort there is more affordable. |

Yes to this. I hate the word designer: it means poor quality and rip off prices.
Iv'e got a pair of Clarks trekking sandals and I love them, I can swim in them walk all day too, no discomfort. They have amazing arch support and don't faf around with velcro around the achilles tendon strap (waste of time really).
I am a size 10, but theses beauties are size 8...never trust the numbers, trust the fit and what a fit!
Downside is the £85 price tag. Luckily these were an almost new charity find for £8. Bargain? Not arf.
If money was no object... |

"Petrol , jeans , trainers and toilet roll .
Wouldn’t it be great if you could go cheap on petrol 
I’m not sure home bargain or B&M could make it work "
LIDL and ALDI don't, which is a pity. We can't all afford electric vehicles. |

Health
Scraped up all my savings to get the healthcare I needed recently. The way things are with services right now I forsee this as a pattern for the future, sadly. |
