I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

๐Ÿคฃ This is an awful list. Pretty much everything on it is worth the better version. Except jewelry and electricity I guess.

this is where your-mileage-may-vary(ymmv) comes in.

I am sure everybody has different preferences to things and the point still comes across. You might still splurge on to some preferences but "better version" doesn't mean the "expensive" bells-and-whistles one.

I am happy reading each comment and knowing how people treat their salt, coffee and internet with different kinds of values.

Pretty spot on in my opinion.

I buy the cheapest coffee beans I can from supermarket, and have had coffee snobs comment how much they love the coffee I make and where I buy it from.

Salt is salt, it tastes the same.

Not sure on the land one.. That one is a bit odd admittedly.
