Please tell us what falls into that group for you in the comments section or <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BostonZest\" target=\"_self\">on twitter.&#0160;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For us, here are 5 things that we love and don&#39;t regret spending the money on for a single moment. In fact, some of these have saved us money in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Home Espresso Machine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ours is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0002VAFWA\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0002VAFWA&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=bostonzestcom-20\">Breville Cafe Roma Stainless Espresso Maker<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=bostonzestcom-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0002VAFWA\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" width=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nthat we&#39;ve had since 2008. Since buying this, we&#39;ve had our coffee drinks at home most of the time and that&#39;s saved us hundreds of dollars we would have spent at coffee shops. We actually bought a reconditioned unit so it cost us much less than a new one. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/b\/?_encoding=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;linkCode=ur2&amp;node=1267877011&amp;tag=bostonzestcom-20\" target=\"_blank\">You can look for bargains like this at the Amazon Warehouse Sale.<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.assoc-amazon.com\/e\/ir?t=bostonzestcom-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=1\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" width=\"1\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=bostonzestcom-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as4&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;ref=ss_til&amp;asins=B0002VAFWA\" style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\"><\/iframe>&#0160;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.
