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.

Pixel 7a is currently $500 new, so good mid tier device. https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_7a

But really what you should do is get a used mid or top tier phone that's one or two generations behind. Depreciation on phones is so great that you get a lot of bang for your buck.

For example mint condition Pixel 7 is $300
