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 still pick those, even though I know it's a scam. When you have 9 chicken per square meter though, not sure they often find their way outside.

When I did buy eggs I bought woodland eggs with a story on the side. Also a scam, but like, slightly better... kinda?

Like even in the ads you can see they're packed in, but I bet there's some bugs to eat there, and they can scratch dirt.

I dunno, commercialising animals is just all a bit grim really.
