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.

I'm with you. Started working to eliminate Teflon from the kitchen and went full cast iron, but eggs were still a challenge... Until someone turned me on to carbon steel.

It's lighter (not as light as an aluminum pan with Teflon, but significantly lighter than cast iron) and takes the same abuse and seasoning as cast iron.
