I often hear, “You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc…” but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

    Most things. Clothes, cookware, phones, TV’s, etc.

    I would say only spend money to buy things you’re passionate about. I love cooking and have spent some money on quality ingredients. Buy good spices and pans, erc. But I hardly spend money on clothing or vehicles or phones, etc.

      Odd comment - you say don’t spend on cookware, yet you spent money on good pans? I also love cooking, and spent money on good pans and knives :-)

        That was just an example haha. I spend money on buy it for life cookware, buy it honestly hasn’t been a lot. Cast iron is actually fairly cheap if you can find a deal. Plus, I visit estate sales and often find quality on the cheap.
