What are some things you can/should cheap out on?

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.

If you live in an area with a store like a dollar store/tree/general, getting snack foods from there is cheaper than going to a normal grocery store like Walmart. At least it is where I live.

I don't know if it's changed prices in other places with these types of stores, but at $1.25 for generic thin mint cookies, that isn't a terrible deal at all if you ask me.

I remember reading that they purposely shrinkflate packages specifically for those stores so you end up paying more in the end. Maybe it was just an isolated thing though.

I wouldn't know since the snacks I'm usually getting there are things I've never seen at any big chain store like Walmart.
