Disagree about shoes. Cheap shoes can be a bit hit and miss, but I'd rather shop in Shoefayre than Clark's. I got a £15 pair of boots in Shoefayre, which are still okay after a year. Probably have cost me £60 in Clark's.
Also, I always shop in Primark, now. I can get a pair of trousers for £6 which would cost £36 in M&S.

was not thinking of clarks wur prefer Churchs
plus primark use 3rd world slaves to make their tat, whereas m&s are more ethical
It's that sort of thinking that lets M&S charge 6 times the price for the same quality.
wur I have 4 pairs of Church's shoes I paid £120 a pair for 20 years ago, they will last another 20 years
the last pair i bought Ryder 111's from churchs do seem to be wearing down quickly on heels and as for anti slip, well.. but all else top quality
yes it is to show the differing sole material

Is £25 cheap for shoes? :(
Definately food. I'm willing to pay extra to avoid cheap value crap. Not really anything specific...all foods. I'm a food snob.

I'd say a quality shower for your bathroom is never money wasted.
Also, you never regret spending money on a fine timepiece.
There are soooooo many things it's not worth spending extra on, a couple spring to mind.

Alcohol-remember some of the sh1t I used to drink & the damage it done.
Flights.
I don't mean 1st class etc but just going with a reputable decent airline.
Can't be doing Ryanair anymore. Pay an extra £20 and go with a proper airline that doesn't take the pee with hidden charges. Also get drinks and meal provided rather than pay £10 for a sandwich ans "sachet" of vodka.

Shoes I definitely agree with.
Complete false economy to go cheap - they are uncomfortable, don't last long, look rubbish and smell.

Big C,oh sorry it was the mirror i was looking in. :-)
blu rays. sure the picture looks virtually identical to a dvd, despite what the techies would have you believe, but they dont get scratched to buggery by fresh air like dvds do.
Decent seats at sporting events, theatre etc. Make up. Cheap make up is rubbish. Oh, and batteries, must be Duracell! Hmm.Goodnight.

Information, always worth paying extra for good info. That's why this forum is priceless.
Good fruit. A few extra pennies and the quality doubles.

Toilet paper.
Disagree, that crappy company that has the little boy in their ads is no good, they came out with 3 layered toilet paper, it was like wiping your arse with cardboard paper, too thick
2 layers is good enough, I hope they don't go down the silly route Gillette has taken, i.e. every 3 years they add an extra blade to the razor holder
what is it now? 5 blades? what a joke, I wonder what genius will come up with 6 blades next?

far better to pay £10k for a good pup than to buy 4 at £2.5 k each.
holidays
£3k a week for a private villa with own pool and maid service is infinitely preferable to any hotel.

Anything good quality is hard to find on this island. seems we get all the shyte that the rest of europe doesnt want, esp in way of food.
Pay a lot of money for something and you normally end up getting mediocre quality thats simply dressed up.
Anyway ,for what its worth .
Shoes,
Cars (needn't be new )
Food
Mattress
underwear

Flights - Budget airlines really are horrendous
TV - A good quality TV really makes a difference, try playing Blu Ray or Sky HD on an normal tv, it sucks.
Heinz Tommy K - Imitations are not acceptable, same with Helmans Mayo

Bog roll , kitchen roll ,shampoos and washing up liquid etc goes without saying

I spend £15 - £25 on watches. Got 15 years out of the last one and it kept perfect time. Present one also perfect. Had it 5 years.
Talking about buying Rolex watches as the quality is that much better for the money isnt quite what the OP had in mind i think when posting this thread.
Also nothing wrong with Primark, only snobs and people with too much money for sense would say otherwise.
Agree with something like a quality coffee compared to a cheap brand, or a decent razor etc but when needs must if something does the job what differance how much or cheap it was.
