For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

Only issue with the coffee grinder is it pulverizes your spices into dust. This can be a good thing, but I think it's way too much for herbs.

Other issue is cleaning. If it isn't a modular one where you can remove the blade area from the motor and stick it in water (or at least run it under water), you'll get dust from previous uses building up. Usually it's difficult to get under the blade to scrub.

Though on that note, I'm going to try avoiding buying any kitchen appliances that won't allow you to soak or rinse the parts that come in contact with food. This includes blenders/grinders as well as appliances like the Foreman grill. My current one gets a lot of use but cleaning it is a pain. It will soon be replaced by a modular one where the plates can be removed entirely, which will also mean that the new one will take over for my waffle maker, which is the single worst appliance for cleaning.

Definitely. I have three requirements for a blender:

  1. Glass jug
  2. 700W of power or more
  3. Full disassembly of the main components for cleaning

Even with my blender that completely comes apart, it's still hard to clean in the little nooks and crannies
