For me, it'll be computers and electronics. And travel. But I'm also frugal so I like to search for deals.

I am also interested in BIFL electronics like fridges, microwave ovens, washing machines etc, but I realise that I might not find such appliances in the coming future any more.

What about you?

I find that I tend to spend a lot on just about everything I buy ๐Ÿ˜…. I have a lot of check boxes for the things I buy, like being ethically sourced, environmentally friendly, fair trade, look for B certified, etc. Consequently, I try not to buy very much. I'm sure I'm probably being taken for a chump with "green washing," but that's on them, not me.

In particular, I find that I spend more on food because I try to buy local and support small producers. I also try to get BIFL items when it comes to tools and things notice that I use frequently.
