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.

Soap of any kind. It’s fine if you want a certain smell, but at the end of the day it all works the same. Goes for hand soap, shampoo, detergent, body wash, etc.

I agree with all of that, but shampoo. A bad shampoo will absolutely destroy your hair, particularly if you have long hair.

There is only one shampoo in the US that I have found that doesn't make my hair insanely oily and split. The shampoo "etc" stuff is insanely wrong.
