Costco has this Italian water - carbonated if I recall - 8 bottles in a pack if I recall.

It's always been on the pricey side... I think it was $12 or so when we first started buying it occasionally, likely 7-8 years ago. Then it went up to $16 seemingly overnight - now I think it's close to $20.

It is a luxury, no question. It's not that we can't afford it, just that it is a LOT of money for water, lol. We get it less than once a year now, but it is always a very nice treat when we do.

Just got some Nichicon fine gold capacitors for the signal path of my 1985 Yamaha amplifier. Sounds cleaner than ever and all the caps I ordered cost me less than £2.

If you’re repairing something it’s always worth it to spend more on good components. Saving 10 cents a product isn’t worth it when you do <100 a year.

There's a $12 bottle of Monastrell that my roommate and I adore. It's rich and complex with wonderful plum and fruit notes, it's not too expensive, it's vegan, and it always seems to be flying off the shelves.

Whenever I see it, I try to buy a case of it and we save the bottles, never opening more than one a night, debating if we should open another cheap red or "one of the good ones".

It's not much, but it is a luxury I love to enjoy and share with friends.

Good quality lavender scented biodegradable dog poo bags, they are about 3p per bag when buying ~6 months worth, but you can buy nappy bags for about 0.3p per bag. That extra 2.7p per poo is well worth it. 2 poos a day is about £10 per year to not risk getting poo on your hands, having lavender scented pockets, and less plastic usage.

Do you have a link for those?

These are the ones we are using ATM: https://amzn.to/3Qul0BK

Sorry it’s an Amazon link, I’m trying not to use them, so I tend to get them when doing a dog treats order, or from a local pet shop.

French toast sticks. On mornings where I want extra, air fried French toast sticks and hash browns are great.

( 400f, 12 minutes for hash browns, 6 min for sticks)
