Expensive items

Piper

I can't help feeling that £80 for sunglasses was a bad deal. Specsavers roped me in for a deal with my normal glasses with transition lenses.

Looking back though I've bought a few expensive items and then felt cheated a bit later on.

Some of my not so good expensive purchases

  • Terracotta plant pot bundle £88.12
  • Farmhouse wooden chair and table set £215
  • Monster High doll series 1 £270 - ps. my parents said this was a bad deal I thought it was a bargain.
  • Leather seats for my Peugeot to replace the gross cloth material seats the car came with £400

What expensive items have you bought before?

  • My most expensive purchase was my house, followed by my car. Both worth the money.

    I don’t buy many clothes, but when I do, I buy good quality wool or cashmere jumpers as they last much longer than cheaper ones. I think it works out less expensive in the end and it means less shopping around. I buy good quality, breathable, wet weather walking jackets (Paramo) because they are efficient at keeping me dry and warm. I have had my jackets for years and they are really comfortable around the shoulders and are reparable. I expect they will last for years more.
