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!

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.

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.

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...

A toothbrush. It is literally life saving and can prevent you a whole world of pain in both your body and wallet. Bonus points if you brush twice and day and floss.

Socks. Despite the expense and the inconvenience of obtaining them, there is nothing that compares to the feeling of wearing warm, dry socks.

Actually decent pencils. F**k offbrand pencils and their pink stubby s**t. If you buy wooden pencils, buy ticonderoga.If you buy mechanical pencils, get one that has a decent grip and lead storage cap. S***ty ones just hurt to use.
