Someone In This Online Group Asked, “What’s That One Product That Is Completely Worth Your Money?”, 30 Folks Delivered

Yes! The fees seem strange to some, but the cost helps pay for the vet fees for that pet AND feeding/care for the hundreds of others.

I asked my vet about pet insurance. He said most things that cost big $ are not covered. Better to put $ aside monthly and save up for sick pets. Senior animals can be expensive! I'm on benefits but saved up cash in my sock drawer for years that now pays for Rxs for my old boy with Kidney Disease. Worth every penny!

Plus a few hundred/year for food and medical care, and possibly insurance.

I got my two cats from the street, one as a kitten (now 11), I just love her, she is the best, and worth all the litter, food and vet money. The other was very sick adult stray I picked up 3 weeks ago. and somehow managed to spoil rotten. She is very cute but how the hell did I manage to create a little super-spoiled monster in few weeks?

Every vet bill & pet food cost!

Never go cheap on things that keep you off the ground: shoes, bedding, tires

Spend money where you spend your time

For my pet… I use comforters from the thrift store, they are easier to clean and make better nesting material. I’m stuck with a crappy mattress

Laser printer. Tape dispenser.

Couldn't agree more.

Yes, that's tough. They say you should ditch your bra after several months but dude, do you know how difficult is to find good bra? I am not ditching that until it falls apart!

I used to think this was crap until I found a VERY expensive bra in my size at a Nordstrom Rack. Best bra I ever owned. Even though it was marked down twice and 50% off, I still paid almost $60 for it.

My wife refuses to buy them because she thinks she's wasting money if she spends money on herself instead of the family. So I learned what store has her favorite/most comfortable bra's and get her a gift card for that store every birthday

A good bra is an investment in yourself. Hand washed frequently, it will last a year or more. It is worth it. You will look better and feel better for it!

Amen. You have to invest in good foundations to support your shape. Take good care of them, and they will hold up for years.

Yep yep yep. Be sure to wash and dry it right after you’re done using it—it helps keep the blade nice and sharp!

I'd love a proper chef's blade, but my ol' faithful works just fine. It was a cheap-a$$ knife but it's always sharp enough to slice thin strips of tomato - even ripe ones. I sharpen it once a week on my front step (concrete, two swift swipes across the edge, then clean it and wipe dry) and it does the job beautifully. A tip: blunt knives can be more dangerous in many cases. Oh, and also remember: a falling knife has no handle.

My husband and I do not own a lot of nice things. Never bought a brand new car, just bought our first new mattress, previous mattress was a used one we bought 15 years ago. What we did spend a ton of money on was some incredibly expensive knives and we are over the moon with them 4 months later. Every time I use them it just makes me happy. We cook every night and everything is from scratch so it has been a huge improvement to our lives.

And don't you dare to put it into the dishwasher!

Japanese knives are the best.

I've got my great grandmother's Griswold enameled cast iron set. It's over 100 years old, cooks the best Romanian food ever...they immigrated to Erie PA, and later to Cleveland.

Especially a good skillet! The nice thing about a skillet, too, is that it's induction-ready by its very nature.

I feel this way about my wok.

It all depends on what you are making. Cast iron is perfect if you want to make some sauces, ragouts or similar, because while nothing really sticks in a well-oiled and well-cared-for pan, you still get a nice pan residue, so that after deglazing there is enough binding that you hardly need to thicken anything. For things like roast potatoes or vegetables I prefer steel or copper, though. Non-stick pans are for eggs, as they do not really facilitate roasting flavours.

I have a cast iron skillet that my mom got in 1941

Make it the permanent kind if you’re *absolutely certain* you won’t change your mind. My OB/GYN finally relented after hearing me swear I didn’t want children for the first 20 years I was her patient.
