I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

I often see people say to buy the expensive toilet roll but I always go for the low end of the midrange rolls. I don’t need 4ply, scented, quilted shit, I just need two pieces of paper stuck together.
There is a balance, you don’t want to get the 1ply stuff you’d find in a stingy office. But just look at the label and price-per-sheet
(If you can afford it, buy a year’s supply in bulk from the company)
Buy a bidet and suddenly the ply won’t really matter. Plus you’ll spend way less on TP long term.
Our bidet doesn’t have an air dryer, so we did have to upgrade our paper from the cheap 1-ply stuff that turned to pulp on contact with any moisture. That said, we go through way less paper post-bidet.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a bidet attachment that fits my toilet. When we move, I’m getting one for sure but I’ll still use toilet roll at times too
That being said, I’m not sure the cost-benefit really fits here. The initial cost (£100-500, depending on quality and type) plus fitting (£100-200 depending on plumbers in your area) would take about 10 years to break even when spending £40 on toilet roll per year. And by then, I’m sure I would have moved house or the bidet would have broken or something
Yeah, I’m sorry, I’ll always hard disagree on this. I get where others come from, but I will always shell out for the better tp.
