Windows (the kind on your house, not on your computer). I've had cheap windows that leaked air (installation could have been a problem as well), were hard to open/close, difficult to maneuver in order to clean, and were not as energy efficient. If you are going to live with something for years, may as well get good quality.

I thought I covered that with the love of a good woman, but I guess it's possible you aren't looking for love. Or, maybe you're not looking for a good woman.

Things made from old coke cans.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

As opposed to the can from an off-brand of soft drink? (When I was a kid they used to make crocheted hats and soda or beer cans)

Oh sure, I've seen that! I think some of them are true works of art.
Surprisingly, I bought a bag of safety pins at the Dollar Store a few days ago. They are noticeably inferior to non-bargain pins (not as sharp, the clasp was weak and poorly aligned, and the gauge of the wire it was made from is thin). So I'd say is worth paying more for safety pins, particularly if they are going to be near the tender body of a baby. |

I can think of four categories that warrant paying more for:
1. Your health, as in foods with healthy ingredients. 2. Things that will last longer depending upon what you buy. For example, I only buy REAL wood furniture, no particle board for me. Particle board can only take one or two moves before it is destroyed, real wood can last forever if taken care of. 3. A house where you feel like every day you live in a resort. 4. Education. If your child gets accepted into an Ivy League school, figure out how to make it work. KJ |

Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
