For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • “Ultralearning” - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • “Enlightenment Now” - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • “The Bogleheads’ Guide to Investing” - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I’m searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you’ve got.

    Honestly if you don’t want to bother with mixing your own spices, Trader Joe’s mixes are goated. They’re consistently good. Just give them a sniff before you add them to a dish and ask “would this aromatically make sense” (e.g. don’t use bbq rub for salmon)

    Generally you can’t go wrong with them. I love the “everything but the leftovers” one

      I’m not familiar with Trader Joes as it doesn’t exist where I live, but the majority of spice mixes are unnecessarily heavy on salt
