When is it worth paying more?

[Artina89]

Usually I like to shop around and compare prices, especially when it comes to food, but there are exceptions. For example, for Christmas I bought myself Bose 20i Acoustic noise cancelling ear buds and I absolutely love them. They were really expensive, but to me it was worth it. For electronics and the like I tend to go for the more expensive option because (in my experience anyway) it tends to last longer and I end up saving a bit more money in the long run, but even then, I will go around the stores and shop online to try and compare prices. I am actually really quite cautious with money.

theatre tickets

There's one exception to this: the Globe in London. I've seen plays there both sitting in the galleries and standing in the yard, and standing in the yard (if you can get there early enough to get right up against the stage) is amazing. You're only a few feet away from the actors, and you get a face full of Shakespeare.

Best of all, it only costs £5 to be a groundling--you get a fantastic evening of theatre for the price of a good drink. Be prepared to stand in one place for around three hours, though.

Neatsfoot oil? Will keep that in mind. Sounds solid and natural.

I cook as much of my food in lard and beef tallow as possible. I feel infinitely better for that, so how they make it is not an issue to me. Animals die for our food. Best we use them in the best possible ways.

I totally forgot to mention that using Neatsfoot oil makes leather waterproof. Also, as a kid I remember hearing about what one kid's dad did to make his baseball glove easier to use--that was Neatsfoot oil as well.

Wine. It is so much better to have a good bottle of expensive wine once in a while than drink absolute garbage, and the same goes for steak etc.
Art equipment also tends to be like this - good canvases are expensive without exception.

Tyres. Seriously dont buy cheap tyres. Not only do you get worse grip but they wear a lot quicker. Part worns are a false economy too. If your car is front wheel drive get a decent pair on the front rather than the rear. When they have to cope with drive and steering you want a good set

This is a very odd question. Before you buy something you will obviously already have decided that the product fits both the price and quality of what you're looking for.

The more you use something the more you'll be willing to pay for it. For example, I use my pc just about every single day and because it takes up so much of my time i'll obviously be willing to pay for top quality hardware and software.

Anything you plan on using regularly and often is worth spending the extra coin. About 9 times out of 10 you get what you pay for.
