What are the few things you genuinely believe are worth spending good money on?

A natural way to answer

I'd put three things at the top: a comfortable mattress, reliable shoes, and good food. They all affect daily life directly, so spending a bit more on them tends to be money well spent. Everything else I'm happy to economise on.

Key phrases to use

• no-brainer — a decision that is very easy and obvious“At that price, it's a no-brainer.”
• well spent — used in a worthwhile, sensible way“That was money well spent.”
• skimp on — to spend too little on something, often to its detriment“Don't skimp on a good pair of walking boots.”
