Expensive Things That Are Worth It to Us

Ep 220: Allison and Ceara discuss expensive items or purchases that they’ve made that are 100% worth the splurge. This light-hearted conversation shares our personal experiences with quality products and we dive into which items are worth paying a little bit more for.

Some main purchasing categories we talk about splurging in: aspects of travel, like whether or not paying for a first class upgrade is worth it to us or not. We discuss the importance of sleep and what sleep-related purchases have been worth it. We also dive into some food choices, emphasizing which foods we feel better paying a little more for at the grocery store.

Whether you’re a “treat-yourself” enthusiast or trying to decide if your $9 latte is worth it, this episode might just validate your favorite little luxuries.
