    echoing others:

    • a comfortable pair of all weather shoes (rain and cold is a thing that happens where i am) that can be shined up to work in a formal setting. they aren't as great as they once where, but i got a newer pair of doc martens and they have been comfy and durable over the 100+ miles of walking i've done in the last 3 months. they come up higher on the ankle than the more formal docs i bought back in the late 90s, which are still great and comfortable. i'm sure there are nicer shoes/boots for the discerning customer, but i'm basic.
    • a bidet attachment for your toilet. it will probably pay for itself in saved toilet paper. there are cheapies for $20-30 which are totally great. for my second one i decided to dollar down and get a $50 one and it's magnificent, all high quality components made hooking it up a breeze.
    • an entry level, basic tier rice maker with steam tray. i got a 10 year old one secondhand Aroma like 6 years ago, and it still crushes. would i like an S-tier Zojirushi that sings to me and makes my rice most auspiciously? yes. but i am not upgrading until the Aroma shits the bed.
    • the lowest tier vitamix
    • instapot

      i got a bidet seat from costco because i found a $150 gift card in my wallet when I was finally cleaning it out after many years.. i have no idea where the card came from or how i got it.. my partner doesn't know either. We decided a bidet might be cool to try and now I don't think we can go back to not having one.
