12 Expensive Purchases That Are Actually Worth Every Penny

Some purchases might seem pricey at first glance, but they can offer exceptional value over time. From high-quality kitchen knives to premium headphones, these 12 items, although expensive, prove to be worth every penny due to their durability, performance, and overall quality.

1. Weighted Blanket

One man says he always thought weighted blankets were money wasters until his wife bought one, and he couldn't sleep without it every night. A respondent says they opt for thin blankets because they are worried it may be challenging to wash the weighted blanket. Someone explains they used to feel the same until they found out weighted blankets have covers that prevent them from dirt and that you'll only have to wash the cover, not the blanket.

2. Fitness Tracker

Once dismissed as unnecessary fancy gadgets, forum members say they'll spend ample sums on good fitness trackers for the immense health benefits they provide. One individual says the capacity to monitor one's health through valuable personalized data is worth every penny, and they wouldn't mind spending more if need be.

3. Shoes

Many people say they used to believe that the difference between the $10 affordable pair of shoes and the $50 boot is often the label and brand name, but soon found out that while the cheap pair was good for the road for a season or two, the pricey ones are often more durable. "I have a $200 pair now nine years old, and no stitch is missing." Responding, someone else says, "This is so true. Even a $100 pair makes a big difference compared to Target shoes."

4. Coffee Machine

Someone on the thread explains that spending money on a fancy coffee machine was often termed needless extravagance. "I finally decided to get one and was awed by the smoothness of the coffee and how fast the machine gets things done."

5. Vacuum Cleaner

A good vacuum cleaner tops the shopping list for some users, who claim the cheap brands they used to settle for ended up being money-wasters. Someone says when she finally decided to prioritize vacuum cleaners, she bought a Miele, which was way beyond her budget but was a great buy, adding that she has never loved an appliance so much.

6. Heated Car Seats

Whoever thought heated car seats would be worth the splurge, someone asks? A contributor insists they wouldn't buy a car without one after experiencing how much fun it brings to driving. Other users say they'll pay extra for a heated car seat like the heated steering wheel.

7. Robot Vacuum

Robot vacuums are the fancy arms of vacuum cleaners, and adopting them, especially for their costly price, is often seen as a wasteful move. But someone says they'll pay extra to have it over anything else on the shopping list. "My house is so much less dusty, it's one less chore to do," he continues. A second person said they had a girlfriend who gifted them a robot vacuum on their birthday, and it ended up being the best gift they ever had.

8. Air Fryer

"I thought air fryers were overrated," someone explains, "then a friend of mine gave me one (she got it for cheap at Costco), and now I use it all the time." Responding, one man says he quizzed his wife the first time she closed an air fryer deal on a Black Friday, but he now cooks half of their meals with it in less time.

9. Divorce

A controversial pick depends on how you see it, but one person argues that divorce is expensive because they are worth it. A respondent says that even though some people may see the choice of divorce as a sad or jaded comment, it should be done well if it needs to get done. "And if you are in a bad relationship, getting out is worth all the money — for both parties," she continues.

10. New Car

One individual said they used to be anti-new cars for a long time, so they got a used car that had them sleeping in the mechanic workshop most of the time. He finally decided to settle for a new car despite its pricey price. It ended up being the best decision he has ever made. Someone adds that aside from the high cost of repairs on used cars, newer cars are far safer.

11. Pedicure

One person who insists they hate having their feet touched says they knew it was over after they broke down and got a pedicure two years ago. "It's hard to explain, but it's like blissful pain," they add. A second person says that although they can paint their nails, paying for a pedicure was her most satisfying experience, and her feet felt so good for a long time.

12. Bidets

Bidets have increasingly replaced toilet paper, but it wasn't always so, according to some forum members who used to thumb it down simply because it was more expensive. One of them advises that you get a bidet over anything else. "Your bum will love you 'cause you'll feel so clean afterward."
