I’m a huge fan of saving money, buying items when they are on sale or on clearance, and doing a lot of shopping at Goodwill or other nonprofits. I also purchase most of my clothing and shoes at consignment stores, not minding if something is slightly used as long as it’s still in good condition. Because I do my homework and know which brands will hold up over time, even when I buy used, I know I’ll get a good couple of years use out of it.
When making new purchases, especially when they aren’t on sale, I want to make sure that I’m spending wisely on a product that will last and is worth the price. (And just because something costs more, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a quality pick.) I also think about how often I will use an item before I buy it. For example, I cook a lot so when I buy new cookware, I’m willing to spend more, knowing I’ll get my money’s worth and won’t have to replace pots and pans in the near future.
Products worth the price, with a reputation for durability, are what I look for when making new purchases. Here is a list of 25 products that are so well made, most of them come with a lifetime warranty. And what’s surprising is that a lot of these items actually cost less than $25.
