I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Kitchen knives, definitely. A good knife is a fucking godsend.

Quality underwear (once you're an adult).

A good office chair (not necessarily one of those expensive as fuck mesh ones - I hate those... But something quality).

Also, I'd distinguish between pointlessly expensive and quality.

Anything OXO is tops in the kitchen

I wouldn't buy their knives, though. Victorinox makes great knives for a reasonable price. I've had mine for ~5 years and I haven't had to sharpen it, although I do hone it every once in a while.

Thank for the recommendation, got a sharpening stone for my cheap knives recently but will heavily consider just upgrading the knives themselves in the near future
