Sometimes shelling out a little extra money upfront saves you a hard-earned cash down the road. We found this article on Yahoo! Finance with five examples of when it's okay to splurge.
Resealable Food Packages
When food doesn't get sealed properly, it spoils and goes to waste, so look for packages with resealable tubes, bags or containers. They may cost you a bit more at the grocery store, but can save you hundreds of dollars a year in uneaten food.
Class Packages
Stop the "pay as you go" insanity at your local yoga studio, spin or aerobics class. If you've taken three or more sessions in a row, ask yourself - am I going to do this again? If yes, opt for the pre-paid class packages. They'll run you more upfront but a single drop-in fee can cost about 15% more per class.
Salad Spinners
Did you know that bagged salad costs roughly three times more than a single head of lettuce? To save time washing and drying your greens, consider buying a salad spinner, which costs about $25 at your local home goods store.
Single-Cup Coffee Makers
You probably already know your $5 a day coffee habit is not so financially fit, but did you know a good-quality single-cup coffee maker can save you almost $1 per day or at least $300 a year, depending on your daily coffee order? Just look for the latest models that feature recyclable K-cups to reduce waste.
Tailoring
A few nips and tucks here and there will keep your quality clothing in good working order and can even make inexpensive pieces look custom-made. Same with saving your soles. Rather than buying a new pair of shoes, have your favorite pair repaired regularly for a fraction of the cost.
