What’s your top BIFL purchase, that might not in itself has been all to frugal, but long term, will be?

After having 5-6 different office chairs over the last 10 years, none of which I liked. I went and bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s ridiculously expensive, but I’m so pleased with it and hope to keep it for well over 15-20 years. If that actually succeed, I will have spent less money one chairs than if I hadn’t bought it.

What similar items (cheap or expensive) do you feel the same about?

A bidet.

I've saved a ton on toilet paper.

In Indonesia, 99% of toilets have Bidets. Whenever I go abroad, it’s always annoying that it is the opposite, like 99% of the toilets do not have bidets. I've got so used to using bidet all my life and I wish every toilets in the world have it installed.
