How posh are you? What products can you not scrimp on? What's the most expensive item you buy? Every day stuff obviously.
Was shopping with a friend at the weekend and she paid a little over 30 euro for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. One bottle each. I could believe how much she had spent as I would have spent less than a tenner. |

"The only branded stuff I have to have us ketchup (Heinz) and pepsi max. For the most part I think the non branded stuff tastes as good if not better"

Eau Sauvage by Dior (not the sickly Johnny Depp one, the 60s original) is my favourite. I'm really into Givenchy Gentleman at the moment too, it's punchy and kind of old fashioned. Bottega Venetta Pour Homme really suits me for an evening scent, too. Patchouli-forward scents seem to sit really well on me. |

It's like the cheaper wine in the expensive bottle that fooled the expert |

I'm as common as the muck under the muck.
Make no apologies for it either.
Although I have just spent 32 quid on a body spray, I'll regret it later when I look in the cupboard and there's only a baby leaf and some Schwarz chilli powder in there to eat |

As for hair and beauty products you pay for the carefully designed packaging. I've bought perfectly good face cream at a great price which is just as good as any overpriced label. As with food products, companies sell the same product to different shops but just change the graphics. You can see this by just looking at the shape of the bottle |

When I was a child my auntie who was posh had Pears soap in her bathroom. Now back then that was posh. I can still remember being fascinated by the smell.
Guess what soap I now have in my bathroom? |

I don't really have the need for much "stuff" but when I want or need something important, I'll always buy the best available. Travel is one thing I won't skimp on - I refuse to travel coach or economy, always first class on trains and I have never been on a bus in my life! I don't think this makes me "posh", just discerning. |

I'm not posh but I like nice things and, when I can afford it, I treat myself
Toiletries, ornaments & furnishings, clothing and hotels are all things I like to spend on |

I dont like cheap stuff.
I dont buy very expensive stuff either - its usually middle priced - depending on what it is.
I hate cheap own brand food it's horrible.
I dont shop in Aldi, Lidl or Asda.
I dont buy designer clothes or Primark clothes - I like middle of the range high street stuff.
Buy cheap buy twice - its false economy.
You get what you pay for! |
