What are some of the best purchases of your life? (lemmy.world)

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.

  • A cast iron pan and paraphernalia. Not cheap, but it's great to cook with.
  • Books. Never regretted buying those.
  • Purchase art from artists.

Idk where Lodge cast irons stand on the priciness scale, but we got of them last year and i fucking love those.

[–] yiliu@informis.land 1 points 1 year ago

They're not expensive relative to 'fancy' pots & pans.

[–] a_good_hunter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They are good.

[–] cyberdecker@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just so others know, cast iron does not have to be expensive. I have 8 cast iron pans and my favorite and best ones have all been found and acquired for no cost. I have a few specific ones i purchased (griddle, enamel coated pot).

Found pans usually look horrible and unusable but with a little work they will be the best pans you own and last forever. Look at yard sales, estate sales, community cleanups, scrap bins, grandpatents basements or attics.
