So the idea of "buy it for life" is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

Happy to see this community, I really liked it on Reddit

As long as it's "you can buy this as a long lasting product"

Rather than "my great grandad bought this lump of solid metal and it's still a lump of solid metal!"

Had that ever been posted? More likely, I recall seeing posts about brand new purchases that were dubiously bifl. Items that just seemed high quality, but in fact were probably just ads for marked up regularly obsolescent stuff
