So I was out to lunch today with my mom because I don't have friends and we were having a discussion about money. Long story short, my mom likes to save where she can but there are certain things that she will NOT compromise quality and price (since price is USUALLY correlated to quality. Usually).
My mom is someone who will buy $3 shirts that fall apart and discount glassware and utensils and what not, but she will never buy low quality food. Now I don't mean ONLY salmon and ONLY chicken breast, but she won't buy meat if she feels it isn't fresh or fruit that is off-season. For someone so cheap, she only buys high quality food.
My sister will never buy low quality beauty products because that makes her skin break out. Also she really hates low quality toilet paper. I guess that makes sense. But she will never buy a name brand prescription/medication (Although she's a pharmacist so she probably knows what she's doing).
I rarely buy low quality clothes unless I intend them to be for the gym (aka no clothes since I don't go to the gym). I also don't go to low quality restaurants since I'm a snob. I also hate low quality rice. Holy crap. An exception is booze; I usually drink the lowest quality booze because I can't afford 12 ounces of top shelf just to get buzzed.
Anyway, do you have some thing/things that you ALWAYS pay for near top quality?
