Reputation: | I have the brooks running shoes as well, and have ran two marathons on them without any trouble. (dif. pairs) Running shoes also let you spend your time running instead of watching tv and being brainwashed by the marketing the tv shoves down your throat. |

Reputation: | Maybe a little snotty, but we can't do without good, solid cookware. Le Creuset costs just gobs and gobs of money, but you'll use it forever -- and aside from all its cooking virtues like evenness of heating, ease for cleaning, etc. -- it looks really nice. |

Reputation: | J Crew sweaters. They cost a bundle, but they are very warm and they last forever. For cold-blooded lil me, it's worth it. |

Reputation: | Good tools that will do the task they were meant to do easily, and without breaking are worth their weight in gold. Combine that with the savings for doing it yourself, and I cannot think of a better investment. The trick is to only buy a tool when you need it, buy a quality tool, and plan ahead enough to find a good price on it. |
