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?

Carbon steel unseasoned wok. I've used mine multiple times weekly for almost 20 years for stir frying and deep frying. Nothing fancy, just a Joyce Chen wok with some accessories that was $30 at Bed Bath Beyond (RIP). My mom has used hers for 50 years.
