(!buyitforlife)

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?

Vitamix pro 750 blender. I use it every day, starting with making fruit juice for breakfast. Forget the old juice extractor.. just pulverize fruits for 60 seconds in this and the result is smooth and delicious.

Just bought a Vitamix after my ninja food processor bowl essentially fell apart. The 900 Canadian dollars hurt but I know with a 10 year warranty I feel confident in it lasting.

Big change in my mindset from 10 years ago. Give me the quality shit every time now.
