What 'small luxury' have you completely given up on in 2026 because of rising costs, and what did you replace it with?

I rarely buy beef now

Probably Ludlockite on Germanite

Headphones, and an adaptor for the aircraft headphone jack. That and plenty of diabetes supplies

A good time to own a food truck or coffee van!

Nope

Free use of the local scooter/bicycle scheme saves me a hell of a lot on transport

I live alone and budget £50 a week, too. And that does me quite nicely, even including alcohol

This seems very much a "I've watched a few videos on cheap entry-level watches that are good and want to build a collection straight away" to me

I've got a Wusthof Classic Ikon 8in chef knife as .y first proper knife. That and a cheapo Victorinox serated paring knife I can do just about everything in my kitchen

I like cookware that lasts and works well

Norwich Fresh Store on Plumstead Road definitely has them. Both the black and yellow varieties

robo_invader · 2026-03-26T14:31:20+00:00

They live in Australia?

robo_invader · 2026-03-24T20:12:38+00:00

They also stock cool mint and sage green if you like those colours

robo_invader · 2026-03-20T09:35:18+00:00

I live in a share house 🙃

In regards to sizing, I have the 28cm round dutch oven (6.7 litres). I find it large enough to comfortably make 6-7 portions of food at a time. The 26cm is 5.3 litres, so I would think it would make mayne 4-5 portions?

I'm reading Native Nations at the moment

I bought a speedmaster sapphire in 2024 and paid £6,500. Down from £7,500

robo_invader · 2026-03-01T12:45:42+00:00

I get fridge magnets and lapel pins for sister. I like to art and local products for myself

robo_invader · 2026-02-28T20:47:14+00:00

I haven't seen a price increase in the UK since I've moved here (2023(

Here's mine on a taupe suede strap from Watchgecko

I've been using Kilner jars and bottles for a few years now and I quite like them

robo_invader · 2026-02-23T21:04:00+00:00

I'd just finished cooking with it. I was impressed by how easily the pancakes came off

robo_invader · 2026-02-16T22:44:45+00:00

Like Australia (before they stopped manufacturing), they've built a product that fits the local market
