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

Mr. Forager@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 275 points –

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.

In my experience, the Mr. Clean ones hold up much better. Generic melamine sponges tear too easily.

But maybe I'm just getting the wrong generic ones. I've tried two or three different generic brands and they all sucked

This matches my experience, as well.

If you have one in your area, go to Aldi. Their knock off magic eraser has held up rather well for me.
