I take vitamins because of malabsorption related to celiac disease, and I’ve read that a lot of cheap vitamin brands are total scams.

Fortunately, I’ve been finding some major brands at the dollar store, of all places, for $1.25USD

Toilet paper. My asshole deserves Angel Soft.

Game console controllers. Miss me with that flimsy shit.

Except the Xbox Series X controller. That thing’s a nightmare. I use my old One controller for that.

I’m an absolute whore of a human for Mitsubishi ‘Uni’ Pens. I don’t even like writing, but their Jetstream line are cheap and should be the ubiquitous goto pen. Everytime I have to pick up a bic, I die a little inside.

Nutella

Edit: I am FLABERGASTED at how many people disagree, I genuinely thought this was obvious, pls recommend anything you prefer to nutella (and whether it’s more or less expensive)

Frozen pizza. Most all pizzas are basically just crackers with tomatoe sauce and cheese, but then there is Dr Oetkers Ofenfrische. I find myself eating 14 euro wood-fired takeout pizzas, only to realize that it stinks compared to an Ofenfrische

Stuff a certain company or organization can simply do that others cant

• Fedora
• GrapheneOS + stupid Pixel phones
• Coreboot laptop, whatever brand
• actually sustainable products
• some Bike components but if I find something better here I go!

Ballpoint pens. Bic, Papermate, and Zebra are pretty much all I would consider buying.

Edit: there are lots of other brands that I forgot to consider. I’m mainly talking about inexpensive plastic tubes, but included Zebra (a metal tube) which I’m a fan of.

Levis. Cheap pants are never worth it, the 501 is always in style and perfect.
