TopicWhat's the most outrageously expensive thing you regularly purchase?

I'm subscribed to a subscription for Dice Envy, a maker of TTRPG dice sets. $50 a month and I get two full sets of dice: a 10-piece polymer set, and a premium set that varies in size and material (often metal, but I've also received sets made of wood, stone, glass, and even silicone). Been subscribed since they started offering the service in 2020, only missing a couple months when I underbudgeted for other things and had to pause.

It's a pretty expensive hobby to collect these dice; I'm at close to 100 full sets right now (including sets I've purchased from other manufacturers), but it brings me a little bit of joy every month and it's fun to show them off to other members of my group or online. Also, some of the premium sets I get end up being sold on their website a few months later for FAR more than the cost of the subscription itself, so it's not like I'm being ripped off or anything here; a couple have even retailed for up to $100 due to the materials involved.

For example, I received this set a few months ago, and it sells on its own for $80: https://diceenvy.com/products/shiver-stone-dice

So, in theory, if I keep them in good condition they could be a nice little nest egg if I should ever fall out of the hobby, or something cool to pass down to somebody who wants to get started.
