I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Hard disagree on body wash vs soap. Soap always leaves a weird filmy feeling on my skin no matter what brand I use. Plus having to lather up the bar is annoying and I don't want to deal with wet washcloths in the shower. Give me a poof and a bottle of body wash any day.

Yeah, body soap last me a lot longer as well. People gift me Lush some times and the large bottle lasts months, I'm almost 1/4 done with one I got back in October.

The advantages of being hairy. I have out evolved the need for washcloths.

Huh. I had to google it, but you're right -- body wash isn't technically soap, it's detergent. So it's less likely to leave a film, particularly in hard water.

You learn something new every day.
