My luxury is beer related. I only buy at the beer store/LCBO/dep or drink in a pub craft ales and usually just IPA these days. Gone are my days of drinking canadian swill beer. Life is too short to drink crap beer. I was at an 'establishment' recently to celebrate the 2nd time around nuptials of a friend and the 'establishment' just had Labatt's products and I opted for a 7 up.

I also won't eat any of that flourescent orange cheese that comes in a shrink wrap or that tasteless French's mustard. I'd rather have a hamburger naked than have that stuff on it.

Another somewhat related luxury is the fact that I won't shop at Walmart due to their race to the bottom business practices that kill the small businesses that were established before they came to the edge of the city.

Other than that I look for a bargain like everyone else.

I'm doing the u-brew gig at the moment, $80 gets you 24L of canadian-equivalent; $85 gets you 24L of craft equivalent.

It's rude not to!

Also it only lasts about 6-8 weeks so is clearly preservative free.

Modifications and upgrades for my car. Few hundred here, few hundred there, occasional grand for a bigger turbo. I hope my Wife doesn't ever read this.

Proper coffee. Illy or Lavazza espresso beans, ground in a decent burr grinder, and brewed in a steam pressure machine. Takes a little time and effort, but well worth the result.

Although I suppose it's not really that much of a luxury - it's probably significantly less expensive, and certainly much less time-consuming, than buying a mediocre coffee from any of the various drive-through emporia.

Well dependent on the room between your shoulders when sat on the bog and the enclosed wall wouldn't a small shelf suffice or a thin profile medicine cabinet affixed to the wall do the job for storing biscuits?

"...warm water cleansing, heated seat and air deodorizer .." Good grief, Who knew such things were available, we truly do live in the age of discovery.

Could have done with one of those when I was gold prospecting in the Australian desert. Had to make do with digging a hole in the ground and a placing a frame and plastic toilet seat over it.

That doesn't work too well when you construct your dunny in the dark, and find out on first use that it's on an ant hill.
