Beauty & Style Things where cheap isnt an option?

[Brad Goodman]

Bentleys

 

[gaskin]

Food at Etihad.

Anything at Subi.

 

[BotsMaster]

Toilet paper for sure. I'm not putting sandpaper anywhere near my butt.

Be a real man and use this:

 

[Marlowe]

Dentistry.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Deodarant
Razors
Shoes
headphones!!!
Meat

 

[Moonwatcher]

Pizza;no chain pizza only eat from real pizzerias
Baked Beans;has to be Heinz
Meat;only buy from 2 butcher shops I trust
Cocaine

Yes , meat would be the one.

 

[Moonwatcher]

Mechanic would be another. Don't need to go to the most expensive, but if you go cheap you aren't getting what you think you are getting in my experience.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Bread
Shoes
Razors
Meat - The amount of people that buy reduced for quick sale is sickening, the meat is turning black/green
Ice Cream
Packet Chips
Batteries

 

[the bee sharps]

Steak

 

[MisterB]

Meat
Car tyres

 

[Dangas]

Ice cream
Electronics
Cutlery
Construction toys (ie Lego vs. no-name brand)

 

[Cruyff14]

Runners
Electronic goods

And one that surprisingly hasn't been mentioned, tissues.

 

[Silent Alarm]

Headphones – great call.

 

[craffles]

Coffee..... will pay whatever it takes for a good cup

 

[NSWCROW]

Any hooker that doesn't have a face like a welders bench.

 

[moses]

House
Home maintenance
Heating - why would anyone buy a $20 blow heater that it liable to burn down your house?
Powerboards for your TV / PC
Kitchenware
Suits
Toothpaste

Orange juice.

25% stuff - WTF is the other 75%? That isn't juice.
UHT stuff - orange juice that has been essentially boiled so it lasts 6 months. Pass.
Concentrate stuff - well that's just cordial.

Give me a bottle that contains the juice of some oranges (including pulp or otherwise) and nothing else. Failing that just give me a bag of oranges and I'll do it myself.

You mean there's a better way?

sunglasses for mine.. cheap ones generally have crappy lenses, dont fit as well & manage to get scratched or just fall apart way too easy. get a decent pair and they last for ages

Not necessarily. I have a $20 pair of aviators given to me for Christmas nearly 5 years ago now and they're still holding up fine, despite daily usage.

Orange juice is shithouse for you. Better off avoiding it completely.

Shoes - the difference in comfort and how long they last mean cheap shoes are not worth it.
Beer - one good, properly naturally brewed beer without preservatives is more worthwhile than six generic ones (plus the lack of hangover)
Cheese - Especially parmesan for pasta. If it isn't the genuine Italian article, it doesn't do the job.
Milk - Unhomogenised organic milk FTW. You can get $1 per litre white liquid masquerading as milk, but don't bother.
Bread - Agree with the poster above; $5-$8 sourdough loaves properly baked are more filling and infinitely better for you.
Cars - I have a European diesel car. 120,000 km, no problems. I also have a 40-year old Kombi that is now worth 3x what I paid for it 15 years ago.

What's your beer of choice?

 

[croweater 41]

Milk. None of the Coles/Safeway brand white water. Pauls is where its at.
Bread. Bakery usually, but can deal with the more expensive supermarket bread (tip top, wonderwhite)
Coffee. For the home it's moccona or * off. People that drink international roast confuse and scare me.
Jocks. A poor pair of jocks is bound to ruin your day.
Meat. Butchers meat only for steaks roasts etc.
Socks. I have a real thing for socks and having them on properly and comfortable. I get irritated when my socks slip out of place.

There is probably heaps more I can't think of.

Washing Detergent: Liquid Cold Power or Dynamo, no Powder or Home Brand there
Deodorant: Brut is my weapon of choice
Razor Blades: Gillette Fusion Cartridges for me, been there tried that with home brand disposables and failed.
Soft Drinks (Coke etc): Coke is cheap enough hot from the supermarket anyway
Footy Boots/Running Shoes: Yes there's a budget involved (usually $60-80 does the trick, if they're discounted from above $100 even better) but I'm not looking for no name crap from the $20 bin.
Airfares: Gold Virgin Velocity member for a reason. Have had hopeless experiences with Tiger and Jetstar (arguably Jetstar are worse). If I want to skimp on transport costs then I can put up with the bus or train.
Backpackers: I'd hapilly pay extra for a PRIVATE room as opposed to a shared room. Don't mind sharing a bathroom or toilet, but please give me my own room and space.

I don't get how people buy homebrand coke/LA Ice they are disgusting. You can get a 2L of pepsi for $2 anyway

Cadbury is considered expensive chocolate?
