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

  10. MaiK

    I’d pay full price for food from a small business. I’m trying to purchase from a small business, a especially Black-owned small business, at least once a month. So for that one purchase I fight the urge to save money😅

  11. Ev B.

    Dansko clogs. I wear them year ’round and they last several years and never fail to give me comfortable support.

  12. Kari

    Chobani Greek Yogurt Strawberry!

  13. Connie

    I would pay full price for locally sourced produce

  22. Dee

  23. Candy

    I am always looking for a bargain, but I’ve come to realize that my tumeric/ginger shots are a must-have/must-make weekly and it seems neither tumeric or ginger are ever on sale, especially finding organic. Ginger is definitely a must!

  24. amy

    Good quality/organic food because I believe in investing for my health. Not investing in it can lead to poor quality life and high medical costs.

    Just Bare chicken nuggets. Just like Chic-fil-a, but a savings over them. I do always stock up if I find a sale, but no other brand compares.

  29. Christine

    My nails. I pay full price for my pedicures every six weeks of summer and my monthly manicures. I’ve “shopped around” to find the person I like the best and I won’t go to anyone else.

  40. Jessica T.

    I pay full price for my summer pedicure.

  41. Karen

    Nothing that I can think of . Seems nothing is worth paying full price for except we have no choice with utilities, gas, electric, phone, etc.

  42. mdellalaw

    I get organic milk for my toddler which is NEVER on sale

  43. jaboz2010

  44. Michelle W

    Nespresso Vertuo Pods, all day every day!! Although I really like when you all find them on sale at Woot! 🙂

    I will bite the bullet and pay for my hair to be done! And also to eat out at a locally owned restaurant, although I try to hit Happy Hour to save money 😉

  46. Jill

    I pay full price for pureology shampoo and conditioner. My hair is very dry and it helps.

  47. Angela B

    Probably eggs! We eat them for breakfast, keep hard-boiled ones in the fridge as snacks, and use them in many recipes. But they’re rarely on sale at our grocery store so full price it is!

  48. Laurie

    A large hot fudge sundae!

  49. Princess'Mom

    Philadelphia Cream Cheese, the store brands DO taste different.
