So why does someone with a thumb tum need a kitchen aid? I mean, baking cakes and bread is absolutely what the Drew’s need. They eat out and get takeaway more than cooking at home. I have a Russel hobbs version and it does exactly the same Job for £90 - if I was baking every week then fair enough and they definitely aren’t doing it once a month let alone weekly.
What on earth!! I’ve followed her for years (until recently) and I’ve NEVER seen her bake anything. Why on earth does she need a £500 mixer? Oh yea, she’s addicted to spending. What an absolute twat!
I’ve got a £50 mixer that I use at least once a week and have had it for almost 6 years. I remember originally wanting a Kitchen Aid but then realised a cheaper one does exactly the same job and as it lives in a cupboard, it doesn’t matter what it looks like.
I often work out the price of items per usage to try and justify big spends - so a £100 pair of shoes worn 10 times would cost £10 per wear etc. A £500 Kitchen Aid that only ever gets used once or twice is going to produce some VERY expensive cakes (that she shouldn’t even be eating in the first place!!!).
Also, when I think about all the health issues I’ve had over the years and any gifts I’ve been given by family to celebrate recoveries or help me through, they’ve been small (like chocolates or flowers) and/or really meaningful. For example, when I hit rock bottom with anxiety and depression my parents bought me a teddy bear and called it Mr Happy so I could cuddle it and it would hopefully make me feel better. I’ve had it coming up 5 years now and I still squeeze it every night to remind of where I’ve come from and the support my family gave me. Reckon Emma will even remember she’s got this Kitchen Aid in 5 weeks time never mind 5 years? I’m guessing not a chance!
