What’s your top BIFL purchase, that might not in itself has been all to frugal, but long term, will be?

After having 5-6 different office chairs over the last 10 years, none of which I liked. I went and bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s ridiculously expensive, but I’m so pleased with it and hope to keep it for well over 15-20 years. If that actually succeed, I will have spent less money one chairs than if I hadn’t bought it.

What similar items (cheap or expensive) do you feel the same about?

    My crumpler outpost backpack probably would be a bifl for me. Bought it like 13 years ago and have used it most of those years. Have been daily driver to office, traveled overseas and my main camera back. Bag is versatile and in complete fine condition I love it. I’ve given it a break this year to try out some other bags but it’s one I’ll never get rid of.
