Quality counts

I 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?

Puffs Plus all the way , baby. I also buy good TP for similar reasons.

Puffs was way to perfummed when I was a kid. I think that's much less of a problem now. I tend to go with Kleenex, tho awhyzip has found some less name brands that are acceptable. And yes I have strong opinions about TP (and paper towels, tho mostly for durability) too.
