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.

    Tools you’re not sure you’ll need. Harbor Freight tools are super cheap and flimsy, but may be the right choice if you’re not using them often.

    If you find yourself using a cheap tool all the time and hating the quality of it, then it’s time to buy something better.

      I go by: If you are not sure you need a good one, buy the first one for cheap. Of you break it, buy a quality one. You obviously need it.

        I would say if you’re not sure if you’ll use it, borrow it first. If you keep borrowing something, then buy a nice one.
