What’s your top BIFL purchase, that might not in itself has been all to frugal, but long term, will be?
After having 5-6 different office chairs over the last 10 years, none of which I liked. I went and bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s ridiculously expensive, but I’m so pleased with it and hope to keep it for well over 15-20 years. If that actually succeed, I will have spent less money one chairs than if I hadn’t bought it.
What similar items (cheap or expensive) do you feel the same about?
Just wanted to let you guys know that Bifl sounds a lot like “Bifle”, a unique french word. It’s a quite precise verb that means “slapping someone with a dick”. It merges the words bite (= dick) and gifle (= slap).
That’s all folks
I always knew there was a reason I was drawn towards BIFL
Osprey backpack
Zwilling and wüsthof knives
De Buyer carbon steel pans
RM Williams boots
Dynaudio speakers
Thinkpad laptop (on Linux)
A bidet.
I’ve saved a ton on toilet paper.
In Indonesia, 99% of toilets have Bidets. Whenever I go abroad, it’s always annoying that it is the opposite, like 99% of the toilets do not have bidets. I’ve got so used to using bidet all my life and I wish every toilets in the world have it installed.
