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

    Condiments- has to be Heinz ketchup and Hellman’s mayo, but I always try to plan ahead and purchase them on sale.

  2. Diane Eisenbacher

    I will always pay full price for a really nice meal out at a restaurant. I just love the experience too much along with the miraculous way that chefs can put together such amazing flavors.

  3. Dawn

    Items for my fur babies

  4. heather brockhaus

    All free and clear pods. A houseful of sensitive skinned people makes it a necessity no matter the price.

  5. Melanie

    a cow from a butcher

  6. Justina Inez Lewis

    Top one: cottonballs rarely a sale on cottonballs! Also toothpicks, matches, straws and table salt, rarely a sale! Items that last a long time in pkg size and low cost per pkg, items thrown in the cart without overly considering the price

  7. TCat

    coffee ☕️ a must for my morning routine 😋

  8. its_jst_d

    My favorite Starbucks coffee creamer. My momma treat I don’t skimp on.

  9. Kay Kirkey

    Farm fresh eggs and beef from local farmers.

    • Kandia Burden

      At the local Farmer’s Market I will pay full price for “real” tomatoes!! There is no comparison to what you get that is picked that morning vs. the grocery stores shipped in produce!!

  10. Les

    Milk because I have to have it for breakfast everyday.

  11. Amanda

    I love having a nice soft serve cone during the summer– happily pay full price at our local ice cream shoppe for the treat!

  12. Natalie

    Really had to think about this one because there are very few things I pay full price for…. My best answer is high quality fresh food for my dog – we’ve been using the farmer’s dog for many years now. Aside from the initial sign-up there are very few additional discounts offered, but I would/will continue to pay whatever it costs to keep feeding fresh food to my dog.

  13. Angela

    A air conditioner ours broke last night. It is 96° in Michigan and I have my 90 year-old disabled father living with me and I cannot take him any place nor can I find anybody that can install an air conditioning anytime soon.

  14. MISTY

    Hair services and massages.

  15. Jem

    Frozen custard – this is a family favorite. It’s always a fun time with custard!

  16. Marci Malinowycz

    A bra that fits!

  17. Ali

    I would say fresh fruits from farmers market! Love fruits and can appreciate when they smell like freshly cut! 😊

  18. Ke11yB

    A good all natural ingredient coffee creamer!

  19. Karen

    Name brand half and half. For some reason the store brands taste sour to me.

  20. 4shankogirls

    Good trash bags. The mess the cheap ones make is not worth the couple cents difference.

  21. Norma

    No choice but to pay full price for gasoline for my car.

  22. Miranda

    Fresh fruits and vegetables grown locally when in season are completely worth spending lots of money on.

  23. Han

    Sriracha sauce! We need it to be able to eat veggies so will pay full price no prob.

  24. jen

    Dunkin coffee creamer!

  25. Rhonda

    A great meal out at a nice restaurant!

  26. Monique Rizzo

  27. rlburek

    Coffee!

  28. Meg

    I will pay full price for anything coffee related! Espresso, milk, creamer, etc. A necessity for me!

  29. Leanna

    Anti-aging moisturizer 🙂

  30. Chels

    Running shoes

  31. DAWN DIDOMINZIO

    Coffee! I will pay all the money.

  32. Patricia Vincent

    My foundation.. Haus Labs by Lady Gaga. Or my perfume , Dior Hypnotic Poison.

  33. Pat Goff

    German Candy etc real Kinder Eggs (I only go home twice a year and can only fit so many in my luggage LOL) or any German seasonings.

  34. Malia

    Fresh fruit – can’t live without fresh fruit!

  35. Liz Curtis

    h2s #1 for sure ! 😍

  36. Laura Fontenot

    name brand food for my fur babies, it is what tĥey enjoy and I dont want to mess with a good thing

  37. Jacquelin

    A good meal at a restaurant and dessert

  38. Brianna Wu

    Fresh fruit

  39. Susan

    I buy several products at Aldi at full price since they are cheaper than at other stores.

  40. Sheila E.

    sneakers! You cannot skimp on good supportive sneakers.

  41. Tangela

    Starbucks

  42. Suzanne H

    Real Q-tips! The generic brands are just NOT the same!

  43. Ashley

    At the hair salon I attend, prices are individualized based on the level of the service provider. There are few things I pay full price for, however, this is one full price “splurge” I have never regretted. My top tier hair stylist always has me feeling and looking my best. My hair is long and healthy (I do not color it) so I justify the cost due to the need of fewer appointments. I also have my kids’ hair cut by a professional. After the COVID lockdown I know my limitations. The COVID “mom cut” I gave my son was brutal to say the least.

  44. Olivia Kuhn

    Face wash products! My face is worth full price!

  45. LaToya H.

    Hair and nails! Yes, I splurge…lol

  46. Kelyn Jensen

    Birkenstocks!

  47. Vera Burrows

    Allergy/itching medication

  48. Alicia

    I will gladly pay full price for my daily makeup routine. It makes me feel better about myself so it’s worth it! However, I definitely stock up when there is a sale!

  49. greeny

    Digital camera with a quality lens

  50. Trudy

    A great pair of walking shoes.
