To Skimp or Not to Skimp

Yesterday I finally got my hair cut. Okay, trimmed! My neighbor is a hairdresser, so after I showered I ran across the street with wet hair for a much needed trim. She was combing through my hair, getting ready to cut it, and commented on how yummy it smelled. My first thought was "thank goodness!" I'm super sensitive to smells, good and bad. I am slightly obsessed with my house, car and family smelling good. There is no smell better than the clean laundry. My dryer vent is right outside my front door. I'm almost always doing laundry so that is the first thing people smell when they come to my house. I can't even begin to explain the joy that I get from this knowledge.

That all has very little to do with my point! As I was washing my hair this morning I was thinking of that conversation I had with my friend yesterday. I was thinking about how I have always used "good" shampoo. No matter the price, it's worth it to me. Even on my girls hair. Which got me to thinking about some of the other things that I absolutely WILL NOT skimp on, no matter what. We could be living in a cardboard box down by the river, and I'd still be using good shampoo. I like a lot of nice quality stuff, but these are my top four that I will not, no matter the circumstance, budge on quality. In no particular order...

Good Shampoo. I'm currently using Biolage (which is my fav, but I also really like Redkin)

Jam/Jelly. I prefer Jam, it spreads easier! I will not buy store brand, cheap jam. It's just wrong. Knotts is my fav, but I also like Trader Joe's. Cherry is the best!
Toilet paper. Truth be told, this should be at the top. There is nothing worse than using thin, scratchy TP. This Charmin Ultra is the thickest, finest TP money can buy. This has been the center of many a battles with my dad, who thinks that thick TP clogs the toilets. I've try to explain to him what I think is clogging his toilets, to no avail.
Boar's Head deli meats. This is the finest deli meat you can get. It's not that processed junk, it's the real deal. I let my dear husband get some deli meat a few weeks ago, and he got whatever was on sale. Lets just say it wasn't Boar's Head, and we threw most of it away. I'm super picky about meat in general, but this is the only deli meat I will buy.

I wanna know. What won't you skimp on???
