What To Look For In A...

...pesto sauce?

...new faucet for my kitchen sink?

...luxury watch for a wedding gift?

...mobile subscription for my upcoming trip to Thailand?

...health insurance?

This is a place where to learn how to buy things so to get you time and your money's worth.

And then maybe discover a product to introduce to the folks at BuyItForLife.

Reminder: Please use the search function before making a request.

The Rules are:

Don't post about specific things you love or hate.
Try to motivate as much as possible the criteria that you suggest.
Don't give the link to a specific product as an answer. Also, no referral codes or any affiliates. Of you represent the company that makes a product, please you disclose it in the link or in the comments.
There is no stupid question. If you think there is nothing you can say about something you can freely ignore the post, but never attack the OP in anyway and, in general, don't waste your comment to say that there is nothing to say.

If you have any questions, send a message to the mods. Feel free to use the 'report' button on posts that do not meet the criteria of WTLFIA. However, explain in the comments of the OP why you think this is not right for WTLFIA.

The mods are somewhat flexible with the rules as long as the OP explains in the comments.

Please read the Mission Statement to get the proper spirit of the subreddit.
