Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

So I'm a writer, and I've paid like $50+ for a software called Scrivener. I like Google Docs for the odd write up here and there. But when I'm writing something fiction, non-fiction, fanfiction, Google Docs slows TF down. That and Scrivener has different pages for each chapter, and character pages. I love it.

It's super expensive but I've been able to move the key from my laptop to my PC and I have it on another PC, I even bought the iPad version for $30aud. Like it's expensive but you only pay once and if you enter Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month -- you write 50k words in a month) you get a 10% discount and if you win you get 50% off. There's people who have won before who give out their win code.

Highly recommend Scrivener for my writing stuff.

Thank you for giving a unique answer! Never heard of that but it sounds really helpful.

Haha no worries. I was trying to think of something that I would pay extra for. And obviously, there's shoes and clothes, but everything is expensive in Australia, on top of that the type of clothes I like are niche and being a bigger size it's hard to come by clothes of my size.

So the only thing I could think of is software.
