For me, it'll be computers and electronics. And travel. But I'm also frugal so I like to search for deals.

I am also interested in BIFL electronics like fridges, microwave ovens, washing machines etc, but I realise that I might not find such appliances in the coming future any more.

What about you?

In my case this mainly applies to tools - replacing cheaper worn out ones with something more durable, with the intent of BIFL.

I'm a bit frugal myself but usually postpone getting new and replacement products for a while, sometimes indefinitely 😅.

I've found small fridges seem to last forever, despite not being too energy efficient and ice builds up very easily due to them lacking the usual "bells and whistles"
