I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    🤣 This is an awful list. Pretty much everything on it is worth the better version. Except jewelry and electricity I guess.

      this is where your-mileage-may-vary(ymmv) comes in.

      I am sure everybody has different preferences to things and the point still comes across. You might still splurge on to some preferences but “better version” doesn’t mean the “expensive” bells-and-whistles one.

      I am happy reading each comment and knowing how people treat their salt, coffee and internet with different kinds of values.

      Pretty spot on in my opinion.

      I buy the cheapest coffee beans I can from supermarket, and have had coffee snobs comment how much they love the coffee I make and where I buy it from.

      Salt is salt, it tastes the same.

      Not sure on the land one… That one is a bit odd admittedly.
