What purchases are most valuable to you?

[wilfred]

I was thinking today about a lot of the purchases I have made over the years. It seems to me that the products I buy that don't fluctuate too much in price are the ones I am happiest with. I mean things that you buy, but you choose to get "premium brands" or top of the line models.

My purchases that I have been happiest (value-wise) with include (in no particular order):
$80 Amazon Prime account
$450 Amazon Kindle Second Edition
$190 Oakley Sunglasses- Monster Dogs (crystal black iridium frames with black iridium polarized lenses)
$1180 Mattress Set-Sealy Posturepedic Reserve Plush Candle Glow Euro Pillowtop. (Just purchased last week)

Those are the ones that came to mind. Just wanted to see what products you put in this category?

I am sure for some of you the products I mentioned are either way to pricey or not pricey enough.

Given the forum this is on lets leave animals off the list.

Conversely, the products I get that are inexpensive comparatively, or are "good" deals seem to drift away or get thrown away.

Sorry if this is completely random but it interests me.

A head worn 'miner' style light I bought recently! Great for herping day or night, great for finding stuff under the sofa, or in the shed at night (no power out there).
Cost $6
After comparison with a mates unit, which cost him $170, the look on his face...Priceless!
