Here’s what our Hip team said they pay full price for…

“I feel like I pay full price for everything.  😂 Obviously, if something I use goes on sale, I’ll be sure to stock up, but I find that most of my toxic-free lifestyle choices rarely go on sale, and I’m not willing to compromise and buy products that don’t align with me anymore. Full price life, on a budget, I guess? lol” – Sara

“These items I will repurchase at full cost no matter what the price is —

Most things I feel like I repurchase or buy often either go on sale often, or have a comparable item. If I run out of any of my full price favorites, I’m restocking regardless before the next sale lol. – Monica

“Plants at my local flower nursery. In fact, sometimes I don’t even look at the price because I get too caught up in how stunning each plant is after the next! I’ve recently taken up gardening and I’m realizing it’s not a cheap hobby lol  😂 But it’s brought me so much joy, so I would say the return on investment is priceless.” – Emily

    I don’t pay full price for much. But my Dyson sweeper is worth every penny, but I would still wait for it to go on sale 😉 My pets dog food NEVER goes on sale but they are worth it!! 🐶

  2. Pam

    A great pair of shoes.

  3. Lola

    I would pay full price for the latest model iPhone.

    • Maggie

      If you have an Amex Card, the Rewards points can be redeemed for an Apple Store gift card. I’ve had $500 gift cards that I put toward a new iPhone with a bunch of accrued points.

      • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

        Great tip, Maggie! Thanks for sharing how you’ve been able to accumulate points on your card and score on the latest iPhone! 📱🎉 That amount sure makes a difference!

  6. Maggie

    For all those saying hair — I have found that Aveda Salons are usually part of Spa Wish. Aveda is high-end, not cheap — but Costco runs promos for 20-25% off Spa Wish cards. The salon runs them through their Visa terminal, so the stylist gets full value on whatever they charge and the tip….but you pay 20-25% less. I’ve done this with color, cuts, and facials at the most posh Aveda salon in my city, the the best colorist in the region. She assured me she’s getting paid full value, and she doesn’t care at all how I pay.

    • Jessica (Hip Sidekick)

      Thanks a bunch for sharing these helpful tips, Maggie! 💇‍♀️💰 That’s such a smart way to save at high-end salons—so great to know the stylist still gets full value too! 🙌

    I would have to say NOTHING. I love bargains and things on sale. Hip2Save is perfect for me!!!!

    I guess my deodorant never goes on sale. So, if I must give a different answer Arrid Xdry would be it. Everything else, I wait for sales.

  31. Ellen

    I love a good savings but a good mattress is something I would pay full price for – if needed.

  32. VlopezM93

    I would definitely pay full price for snacks or anything sweet, cakes, bobas.

  33. Priscilla Dardar

    I would pay full price for Egglands best eggs. I have tried others and they don’t compare to me. This is also coming from someone that eats eggs every day.

  34. Jackie

    I’d pay full price for anything that I need regardless of price.

  35. Kim

    Texas Roadhouse!

  42. crystal

    brand name personal products. Like lotion or feminine hygiene.

    Eggs because I need the protein and they’re so easy to cook.

  44. Kiki

  45. Kathleen MacCubbin

    Good quality shoes that are comfortable.

  46. Sue Cheng

    I always search for better value (not the cheapest); almost never pay the full price. But, i will pay the full price when i am on vacation; dining, cafe, etc….

  47. Vicky K

    I pay full price for Nespresso Vertuo pods. The coffee is great and so much cheaper than Starbucks.

  48. Donna

    Starbucks coffee! Totally worth it.

  49. Kathy

    Gosh I hate paying full price for anything but if I had to I would say my comforter. I have scoured all over the Internet and I can’t find it anywhere. It’s just the perfect thickness, weight, it’s cooling and warm and fabric is so soft.

  50. Amy

    I pay full price every year for 10 huge million bells hanging baskets because I enjoy them so much while sitting on my porch and am too impatient to wait a few weeks for them to go on sale! Plus Coke Zero, my one major addiction, I usally am stockpiled to the hilt but every once in a while I’ve been depleted and bit the bullet and paid full price!
