          In some places marijuana is legalised, and not stigmatised to the same degree as other drugs.

          Its a question about luxury items. As a smoker myself I would consider it a luxury and it would be one of the first things I cut if I had a pay cut or some sort of emergency

      Same here. Wifey got me a Trade subscription maybe 3 years ago for Xmas and every 3 weeks or so I try a brand new single origin coffee I’ve never had before. (Except the one from India that tasted like pineapple! That one I ordered twice before it was gone.) It is $20 every 3 weeks since I drink one a day, but this week I switch up to the big bag so we could both enjoy it. That took it up to $50, but now it’s a full 2 pounds instead of 10 oz. (That’s 280g to 900g.)

    Good chocolade. Not the stuff you can get in a supermarket, but from specialty chocolate shops, or from chocolatiers themselves. While it can be quite expensive per bite compared to ordinary chocolate a single quality chocolate can already give you a very luxurious feeling, so if you have some disposable income available it doesn’t have to break the bank.

    A good water bottle, that keeps ice in the bottle for two days. Cost like $80 a couple years ago but it’s a HUGE luxury imo, waking up thirsty in the middle of the night and always having ice cold water available is priceless

    The cheapest?

    I um, rebuild my own vape coil. Thing is, I know that’s a rather outdated concept, but one fine day, I ran out of coils, remembered I had a rebuildable for this device and just… never went back?

    4 inches of wire, and a clump of cotton. I usually never rebuild the wire and just install new cotton.

    So, ~$0.05 therabouts.

    I shop deals at my local market. I can usually get the fancy coffee that’s about to expire 2 for 1. I just keep it in the freezer to last longer.

    coffee shop drinks

    i try to make my own at home but i buy individual drinks for anything that’s too expensive in “bulk” like good quality matcha or certain flavours.

    i feel so spoiled walking around drinking my one-a-month iced pistacho white chocolate matcha latte with oat milk </3

    I have a Uni Kuru Toga mechanical pencil that I bought perhaps 20 years ago. For about $7. And it still works great.

    Somehow, it’s still $7? How?
