We discuss 10 cheap, low-budget items that are absolutely worth their money.
00:00 Introduction
00:11 1. Saint Hilaire Blanquette De Limoux. It costs about $12-$15. I know it is a mouthful but bear with me. Remember when we shot the video on Is it worth it, Dom Perignon champagne? It was basically a $150 champagne bottle and you can watch the details here. In the comment, a viewer shared with us his favorite budget alternative which is the Saint Hilaire Blanquette De Limoux from France and so I tried it and it's a really amazing sparkling wine that tastes pretty much like a champagne but it only costs $12-$15.
01:34 2. Bar soap. Most people use shower gels today which is also cheap, it is basically just soap with water and so the cost per use is much higher with bar soap. A regular bar of soap will cost you anywhere between $2-$3 and maybe $20-$25 but even the lower-priced models are oftentimes very good in quality, they have good fats like cocoa butter and shea butter and so I suggest you take a look at ingredients first.
02:21 3. Pilot Metropolitan fountain pen. It costs about $15. With the Pilot Metropolitan, you get a quality made in Japan pen that is very balanced, with nice ink flow and a nice nib in its price range, and it won't break the bank and anyone can afford it.
03:17 4. Quality scissors such as these Kai N5210. In my experience, a good pair of scissors is highly underrated. Personally, I get lots of packages when I design things, I have to cut fabrics and leather and so a good pair of scissors is always on my desk. In the past, I would use those scotch titanium blades which you can get in three packs for five or six dollars at Costco and they did the job, but once I had the Kai N5210, it was all different.
04:04 5. Shoelaces because they're very inexpensive but it can really change the entire look of your shoe. As you know, buying new shoes, especially quality shoes, is very expensive, so if a new pair of shoes is not on a table for you right now, consider shoelaces.
04:56 6. Knife from Rada. It's a serrated knife and I bought it three years ago at an antique show in Brimfield. At first, it seemed too cheap, it was a new knife for just five dollars, made in the USA, and I figured how good can it really be? Because I was used to Japanese knives and German Wusthof knives, after using it for a little bit, turns out it's a really excellent knife.
05:53 7. Tailor's ham. It cost about twelve bucks and it's a little pillow filled with sawdust. It's much stiffer than a regular pillow that you may have on your couch, on your bed, and it's used to iron trousers or jackets, especially all the round parts which wouldn't quite work on a flat iron table.
06:41 8. Nivea sensitive shave balm. I tested over 300 products and one item that I come back to over and over again is the Nivea sensitive shaving balm, it costs between 5 and 8 bucks, it's widely available in drugstores all over the world, as well as online on places like Amazon.
07:16 9. Red boat fish sauce. It has this characteristic umami flavor which you can also find in meat, tomatoes, mushrooms, and many other parts. It's that fifth sense of taste that we, in the Western world, are not so familiar with but it's very prevalent in places like Japan.
08:33 10. Gentleman's Gazette eBooks. Right now, we're giving away three of them for free. I mean, what's better than free right? So it's over 200 pages of in-depth content about classic men's style such as black tie guides, white tie guides, or how to wear and combine shoes with socks and pants. Head over to our shop now, add it to your cart, and of course, if you want to buy something else we're honored, but you don't have to.
