gilanaI like a bargain as well as the next person, but I've learned over the years that there are some things that it's worth paying more for.
* A good iron - one that will really take out wrinkles, and not accidentally make more. I hated ironing until I got a fold-down ironing board and a good Braun iron.
* A real razor - I used to use the plastic disposables and I cut myself all the time. My sister gave me a Gillette Sensor years ago and I've rarely cut myself since. I like the Gillette Venus now, but YMMV.
* Really comfortable shoes - it's hard to be happy when your feet hurt. I have 3 pairs of Dansko clogs, and they're worth every penny I spend on them.
What's on your list?

There are too many goods out there to be an informed consumer about everything, except when you have a tool like Consumer Reports. This pays for itself every year.
