We live in a world where everything we want or need can be purchased fairly quickly, depending on whether you like to shop online or go to an actual store. But what about the things that we buy? Bored Panda has already got a list of terrible products that are still sold and bought by millions that you can find here

This time, one Reddit user, @A_Flyingsquid, was curious to find out what are some valuable things a person can buy, so he asked people online to share “what's that one product that is completely worth your money?” 

The question that received more than 57k upvotes as commenters listed various household items, clothing, shoes, and other items that make people’s lives a little bit easier and more comfortable. A lot of users agreed that if you want to have a high-quality product, that will be used for quite some time, the smart thing to do is to invest in this item as “buy cheap, pay twice.” 

What are some of the items that you would be happy to pay more for? Leave your thoughts and experiences in the comments down below!

Someone In This Online Group Asked, “What's That One Product That Is Completely Worth Your Money?”, 30 Folks Delivered Whatever you paid for your pet at the Humane Society. I got two cats $130. Have had them almost 2 years, plan to have them for another 15-17 years. They make me laugh, and they make me feel warm and loved every day.

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.

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!

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'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.

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.

Someone In This Online Group Asked, “What's That One Product That Is Completely Worth Your Money?”, 30 Folks Delivered After seeing how many people keep s**t stored in 10 year old random cardboard boxes in their garage or laundry room, I am gonna say storage tubs. They are hardly expensive, uniform in size, stack well, and aren't going to deteriorate if they get a bit wet.

I like those for in the car so my kids can charge their devices if we are on long trips. Otherwise, a short one works just as well and charging doesn't take ages, it won't hurt to not have your phone in your hand 24/7.

One of the best advice given by my dentist - buy baby brush for your teeth. They are soft and will go easy on your teeth. Since they are tiny, they can go to every corner.

Yes, for sure. I was lucky my old Oakley frames were still good 9 years after buying regular shades, better than any of the crap they sold when I got my prescription lenses. I feel naked without them outside!

Someone In This Online Group Asked, “What's That One Product That Is Completely Worth Your Money?”, 30 Folks Delivered For me it is specialty coffee. A few years ago I took a 2 hour coffee tasting course at a local roaster and got a mail order specialty coffee subscription, which opened my eyes to the world of coffee. I pay about $20 (Canadian) for 340 grams which makes 17 cups of coffee at ~$1.18 per cup. People tell me it's a waste of money, yet get $5.50 Starbucks every day...

And don't count on a surge-protecting power strip to protect your devices from surges if its gotten quite old. They depend on metal oxide varistors to short spikes to ground, and the more spikes they experience the more they degrade until they don't function anymore. The strip itself will still do its primary job fine though.
