I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I'll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

Interior wall paints (and rollers/brushes). I recently remodeled my house.and decided to buy the really good stuff instead of just the well known brands from the DIY store. Man, what a difference that makes. Painting is sooo much easier and it dries much nicer.

I've been happy with Home Despot's Behr paint. What brand(s) do you like?

I'm from Europe, so we don't have that brand here. I used Sikkens Alpha Rezisto. It's washable and scrub resistant. Perfect since I have pets and kids.

With the expensive paints, single-layer is actually true, so it really isn't all that much more expensive.

I have learned this the hard way. You’re not really saving any money (or time or energy) if you have to apply five coats to get decent coverage.
