    Well made cold weather clothing, including boots. Yes, you can spend more than is necessary, but if it gets cold enough then buying the well made stuff is always worth the money compared to buying cheap stuff.

    It is basically cold weather safety gear.

      Working outside year-round, my Mickey Mouse boots have been a godsend, to such an extent that I look forward to the days where I can wear them. Everyone on the jobsite always laughs at how big they are but my feet are sweating in -20° weather while they’re shoving Hot Hands down their socks.

    Toilet paper that doesn’t exfoliate your pucker hole with a single wipe. I pay a little bit extra to not feel like I’m pooping in a construction site portable

      You should seriously consider a bidet. The only thing my toilet paper is good for now is cleaning up whatever the water didn’t get. My rolls last so much longer now since I sometimes don’t even need to use it.

    Activities with people you are close to. The older i get, the more “stuff” i accumulate. I don’t ask for more stuff as gifts. I don’t need more stuff. However I have an infinite amount of space for memories of things I did with friends.

    Bidet. Get a toilet seat bidet. You have poop particles on your butt. No toilet paper is 100% efficient. The bidet will pay for itself in 6 months.

    I look down my nose at all of the people with poopy butts. Buncha animals.

        In general I don’t support buying cheap shit on Amazon, but I’ve bought $100 bidets and I’ve bought $20 ones, and they all do the same thing - spray water on your butt. I had one model that had a hot water input, but my plumbing could never warm up the water in time. So cheap, cold water bidets for me.

        I got the Cadillac at the start of pandemic. Biobidet BB-600. It’s like the nice Japanese ones. My parents have a manually operated one that lets you set your pressure and nozzle positions. Mine has buttons for all of that.

      No toilet paper at all? So with what do you pat down your wet, dripping butt? I still use toilet paper, I’m just cleaner after for having bideted first

    Fresh produce.

    We have a few different grocery stores to choose from, stop and shop is the closest. But we mostly don’t go there because their produce simply sucks. The selection is poor and all too often things look wilted already sitting on the shelf, and worst when you get the produce home, despite appearing ripe it’ll be largely flavorless.

    High quality produce makes such a big difference in the food we eat, we’re willing to drive a lot further to get it.

          Preference aside, because I agree with you, they’re a waste of money and space and natural resources if you only read them once or twice.

          I don’t feel that way about reference manuals or books you use to look things up in, though.

          Again, to be clear, I prefer handling books. I have many shelves of them. But… It’s illogical these days.

            Yes, you’re right. I bought a Kindle but haven’t used it much as I am still going through my book backlog.

            As they say: you will own nothing, rent everything, and like it.
