What Things Would You Keep Buying Even If the Price Doubled?

Thankfully, these are generally well-regulated in Canada. I am having a hard time thinking of other products which I would pay double for:

* clothes: I already buy these at a thrift store

* laptop/computer/internet access: provided by university; I do have home internet, but if the price doubled, I'd probably just spend more time at the library

* soap/toothpaste/shampoo: I don't use soap, as water-only showers I find are pretty good in keeping me smelling neutral; toothpaste I could do without (it just feels more icky) and shampoo I can actually replace with soap, if its price doubles (soap being cheaper than shampoo)---in terms of hygiene, I don't think there is anything else I really use (maybe razors, but I could just get used to growing a proper beard if the price of razors doubled?), and I think I do a pretty good job of not smelling

* apps/games: I don't spend money on these typically, and definitely not if their price doubles; also, open source stuff is awesome

* transportation: I use public transit, but again this is regulated in Canada; if the price did double though, I could pick up cycling (especially since there are also likely to be less cars on the road then)

The great thing about working in math is that you can do useful mathematics even if you are in a prison, without pen and paper. So, my "work" (does play really count as work?) requires very little in terms of resources, apart from a metric crap-ton of patience, and mental energy (which depends on food). It's worth noting that I am not in any sort of fancy/well-paying/tenured position at a university.

Yay for taxes, which provide public services which help lazy do-nothings like me keep their mental hallucinations sustainable!

I roast my own coffee, so I can get many pounds of green coffee for ~$6 a pound or less. Buying it pre-roasted easily quadruples the price. Buying a cup of coffee, whether a latte or trucker-stop black, is tantamount to lighting money on fire.

At the same time, I look at the markets for coffee and it strikes me that Hawaii's Kona is likely closer to the true cost of coffee production if we wanted to pay a non-exploitative and sustainable price (both are debatable, I'll admit). This doubles the price of green beans compared to other origins.

Thus not only would I pay double (because I have in the past) but I also think coffee is underpriced in the global market.

Same with most utilities.
