Items That Are Safe to Splurge On


 
When it comes to shopping, the less you spend the better right? Well, not always. There are some purchases where spending a little more can actually save you a lot in the long run. So when you’re out shopping, just remember the items you shouldn’t be afraid to spend a few extra bucks on:

  • A good mattress is key to being well rested and having a successful day. If you’ve ever spent the night tossing and turning on lumpy beds or hard coils then you know this is one area it’s safe to splurge. And a girl needs her beauty sleep after all, right?
  • When you’re shopping for lightbulbs, spend a little bit more and go for the energy efficient ones. Look for compact fluorescents lightbulbs or CFLs that kind of look like a twirling ice-cream cone. They use up to 75% less energy, produce 75% less wasted heat and last up to 10x longer! They’re even available in dimmable, just make sure your check the packaging.
  • If you wanted to cook up some savings in the kitchen go for high quality knives to slice your organic foods with ease and save lots in the long run as well. With a little care, a high ends blade can last you a lifetime, plus most home cooks usually don’t need more than just a few types of knives. For the most part, a chef knife, pairing knife and bread knife are all you need, so don’t overspend on that cheap 17-knife kit.

Happy shopping!
