I'm sitting here having a handful of Planter's Deluxe Nuts and thinking, screw those peanuts...I'm never going back. Life is too short to settle.

What else is worth the extra $?

I love deluxe nuts. Those nuts are worth an extra $5 any day. Mmmmm. Nuts. Deluxe nuts. So tasty.

Booze. High quality booze is always worth the extra $$$. I'd rather not drink it if it's some cheap crap.

To a point. The thing about booze is finding the great deals out there. Example:

Is one of my favorites. It's better than a lot of $50/bottle whiskeys out there, but it's $28/bottle.

From experience, are those $3,000 Rockets seat tickets worth it?

I don't like store brand foods, besides soda. It's mostly from a lack of trying, but I'll always pay that extra $.50-1.00 for the name brand.

yes - spending a lot of money on great pillows, blankets, comforters and comforter covers, and most importantly sheets makes all the difference in the world.

I long used store brand mouthwash... but recently started buying Crest Pro Health Rinse (and spending the premium) b/c in addition to the name (which I don't care about) - Crest doesn't use alcohol in its product - and you don't get the gross side effect of using alcohol-based mouthwash.

You can stretch your legs in the bulkhead for a lot less. :)

Generally true. I always try for the bulkhead. But Lufthansa surprised me with one of their planes where the bulkhead is no better. I guess some of their planes are different. I have also learned that in the back of the plane, it curves inwards and 3 seats turns into two. If you get one past that change...then you have leg room. But sometime the missing seat is a window seat and sometimes it is an aisle seat...so you don't know. I really need to learn the various plane seating plans.

My best plane experience ever was on a flight within the Philippines where there was no assigned seating -- first come, first serve! You better believe that I grabbed the Mrs' arm and pulled us into the emergency exit lickedy-split! Those planes are so cramped, but we had several meters of legroom. For a long-legged sailor like me, that extra space is golden.

I did spill a bit of the complimentary juice on my shirt, but that was no big deal.

Tru dat about the toilet paper.

Also organic milk. I don't usually spend the extra for organic, but organic milk tastes sooo much better and expires a lot later.

I also think my gym membership is overpriced, but I still splurge on it. I could work out for much cheaper by just running around the neighborhood and buying some basic fitness equipment, but I just love the experience of going to the gym.

Toilet paper
bed sheets
bath towels
Power toos (brands like Dealt just last longer)
GE Reveal light bulbs (everything looks great in our house)

organic milk.

good call. it's also the only assurance that you're not consuming rBGH.

I always buy name brand razor blades as opposed to store brand. Store brand razor blades suck arse.
