I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

There are only a few things, I find, worth shelling out a bit for. British tea brands (British émigré), boots, and ale come to mind. Some other things you're taking your chances a bit if you don't spend a bit more, like bikes, electronics, and musical instruments. Otherwise I'm a stingey aul get and it does me fine.

That doesn't sound like a tea brand we have!

It's a slightly longer process to extract tea from a British émigré.

Especially when they're unwilling!

Brit here. Never heard of that tea!

I meant that I'm a British émigré, ha.
