What is one thing you refuse to buy a cheaper version of ?

Jam for me, bought some strawberry recently to try it and it tasted like chemicals and I doubt it had seen a strawberry in it's life.

Butter.

It's not the same.

Also cheese. Cheap and cheerful mild cheese has its place sometimes but I'd rather have cheese that has a bit more oomph to it.

Cheap moulded or china knock off latex clothing.

False economy... by UK latex clothing from the best latex independent designers in the world.

Asda Mayo tastes the same.

For me it’s Heinz Ketchup. Although I will use the Aldi one.

Never been to Aldi. But I was always a Heinz person but now I actually prefer Tesco’s ketchup and Tesco’s beans.

Loads of stuff

Mainly food - you get what you pay for in most cases.

I'm not into designer clothes and accessories etc though - that's a mugs game!

I'm not going to pay £4000 because a bag is Chanel - that's ridiculous

I knew there was something I was forgetting!!! Coke can only be Coca Cola or if at KFC Pepsi will suffice. Nothing else allowed.

However you pay £4000 today and sell it for £6000 in the future. They’re not a bad investment if you have the money.
