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.

I can just crinkle up some paper for my cats.

My cats always loved the cheapest toys, like those little twisty ties that come with trash bags, but my dogs never did.

They still make those sort of trash bags? Iโ€™ve never not bought the draw string ones

[โ€“] Drusas@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If you buy small trash bags, such as for a bathroom trash can, you're more likely to get them.

[โ€“] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

That makes sense Iโ€™ve always just used grocery bags for those

Or give them a laser dot to chase

[โ€“] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't have any laser dots in the trash

[โ€“] psud@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You could buy a set of dots online. They come in tubes and you can dispense them everywhere!

But trash is free
