The Best Long-Lasting Purchases That People Swear By: 50 Products That Are Worth The Investment
Interview With Author
In our consumerist society, our minds are always looking for something to spend our money on.
Whether we need it or not, it’s here, it’s half-price, it’s the last one available. We make a purchase and get a quick dopamine release only to realize whatever we just bought is a questionable, often poorly made, and short-lived deal we won’t get far with. A couple of months, at best.
But the corner of Reddit known as “Buy It For Life” shows that not everything is meant to stack up in the landfills that are already polluting our planet. On the contrary, some things, like that baby crib in which you spend your first years in this world, or your dad’s belt you'll never remember him without, are meant to last what seems like forever.
Below we wrapped up some of the most interesting examples of things people bought for life, so scroll down. And after you’re done, be sure to check out our previous features (here, here, and here) with more posts from “Buy It For Life.”

Old Wooden Furniture Lasts Many Lifetimes
This Cradle was used by my grandfather and his 5 siblings 115 years ago. Then my father and his 5 siblings. Then me, my two brothers and 13 of my cousins. And lastly many of my cousins children and here, my third child
UpupaEpops 2 years ago
In my culture, it is believed that cradles must never remain empty or calamity will befall the community. So people would always give their cradles to the next person who needed them.

YES to solid furniture taken care of. I have a thread display cabinet (like they used to have in department stores) that was made in the 1880s. Several pieces of nice china cabinet / kimono storage, etc from Japan and Korea from the 1940s when my grandparents were stationed in Japan after WW2 A depression era dresser that I refinished in the 70s and several smaller items like lamps and stuff from the 40s. If you take care of it, it really lasts.

I'm (presently) working on a chest of drawers that my mother bought when I was an infant. It served all 4 of her children, been a part of the family for nearly 70 years. Sadly, I can't save the decals she put on it in 1964 but at this point they are so very yellowed that if you did not know what they were you could not identify them.

Hmm, Japanese steel or German steel? I guess it depends on the RH. Mine are RH56 German so will likely last longer and probably slightly cheaper but not as sharp or brittle. Plus the carbon... I have x50crmov15 so 0.55% carbon

Yes to well made lasts. Mine are not quite so fancy but I have a Henckels 4 star chef knife and a Wusthof meat knife I've had since the 70s/80s. Also a couple of Chicago Cutlery from the 80s. Like the furniture, the decent ones last if you take care of them. EDIT to say I use them all the time so they are not just lasting due to being stored in a cupboard.

Lots of professionals still use these old foot powered machines, as they can be moved very precisely if you know what you are doing. You can lift the needle by tiny fractions, an electrical pedal simply is not that precise (unless it is a very advanced digital sewing computer). Also they can be made going backwards, which is rare in electrical models.

The moderator Robot_ninja_pirate believes that the BIFL community sits at an odd crossroads for these [sustainability] trends. “On one hand, we want to promote sustainability and buying higher-quality products, which means buying things less often.”
“But since we have 1.4 million subscribers, it means new people are sharing new products every day. The products that many people never knew existed and might then want to go out and buy. It can almost conflict with the point,” the moderator explained.

The only thing wrong with it is that it percolates the coffee. It keeps heating the coffee to send it up to the grounds, making a bitter and burned tasting beverage.
“However, it might also cause people to have to skimp on things and really evaluate what truly is BIFL and what they are just overspending on. Channels like Project Farm, for example, do an excellent job showing where spending more money does not always mean a better product,” the moderator said.
He added that he worries “about BIFL becoming trendy and that people will hop on the bandwagon and then jump off when it's not as current anymore rather than committing to the ideology (an extreme example, but think like the miniature pig trend for a few years).”

Cast iron pans last forever, right? My father accidentally left a pan in the rain after a cook-out. It rusted, and I was ready to throw it out. He was not much of a handyman, but he cleaned it up, and made it look brand new again.
M O'Connell 2 years ago
There is definitely a difference in quality between old cast iron and new. I think the newer stuff has so much random scrap metal in it that the pans aren't as good. I have a 10" skillet that's likely over a hundred years old and it heats very evenly. I have a modern 8" skillet that is oddly light and heats very unevenly.
Victoria 2 years ago
It's not scrap metal as such. They're not really cast from molten iron anymore. They're sintered from iron powder. Plus they're no longer sanded for finish. So you now get a pebbly surfaced, uneven heating pans. If you look at the vintage stuff from 50 years ago, you can easily see and tell the difference.
