I absolutely agree. I used to have no choice but to buy budget and have to deal with it when stuff inevitably failed and broke. But now I’m much more financially stable, I made a commitment to buy quality when I can.

With clothes I’m in the best of both worlds, I’m a proper hawk for charity shops and if you’re patient you can get both budget and quality. I bought a £100 shirt for £3 the other day and it looked like it had never even been worn and there’s no reason it won’t last me decades if I look after it. Good riddance to TK MAXX and fast fashion.
