I guess it's because you can use it over and over? Though I feel your remorse. I dropped 12k shards on a stovetop...

oh gods the stovetop my body is not ready for that purchase

I. I still don't have all of the kitchen equipment yet *nervously sweats while eyeing the general store*

on the flipside, when i buy something new for my kitchen, i can delude myself into thinking that ive done something productive

this is true i got all excited about the grain mill because i realised i could make a whole lot of coffee and then i remembered that items can only be used once and all my hopes and dreams were dashed

Kitchen items are eternal. Ingredients are transient. Such is life. Make the coffee, consume it once, sell it at a premium.

Also I just got the Grain Mill but at least I needed that to make coffee, plus I found it for a cheaper price than some other times I saw it in stock.

I'm just starting out and I noticed that right away lol and seeing how few games there are i'm like wondering how I won't get burnt out.

Try to see if you can entirely stock your kitchen through the Bigger and Better quest -make it a challenge! Then you only buy the cheaper ones.... (I have no clue if that's even possible.)
