Love!!

Okay, okay - hygiene products, such as GOOD tissues (facial, bathroom, etc.), feminine products (you know!), hand cream, etc. I also don't care how much it costs to heat the water for a nice, long, deep soak in the bathtub.

I have to buy good hair care products, made for curly hair. Could just be my mind saying they work better but shooot they don't build up easily, keep hair non-crispy and keep the bounce.
As well I have to buy Cheveron Gas with Techron, probally another marketing ploy that worked on me. But cheaps gas..I can just tell the difference in my lil car.

Thanks Venus!! You have to wrap the cheap stuff around for about a minute before it even looks like it will do the job:)

It's false economy when you have to use so much

Spaghetti sauce. I buy Rao's marinara sauce for around $8 per jar (each jar has 1.5 lbs of sauce), but it really is the best I've had. Considering that the spaghetti costs less than a dollar, though, it's worth the splurge, especially when you're cooking for a family.

I will buy cheaper tomato sauces from time to time (usually between $1 and $2 per bottle), but there's an obvious difference. It's like the difference between fresh basil and those dried, often next-to-flavorless flakes.

Other than that, I've found that my Eddie Bauer backpack lasted me throughout high school, college, and travel, so that was really worth the money. (Too bad I can't find it!)

Cool. That's how I am with my Hedgren backpack. It's very durable. I've had it for over 10 years! Not sold in the US :(

I have to say two things... sorry :)

Shoes. The cheap ones aren't worth buying.
Food. I will pay more to buy locally grown/raised foods.
