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.

    Not that drugs are expensive in the EU compared to the US…not even relatively close!

      I mean, sure. But store bought ibuprofen? It’s $9 for 500 count 500mg bottle off Amazon.

      We only charge extra for life saving drugs, normal stuff is cheaper than dirt.

        You get ibuprofen in what ? 500 pack ?! Surely there is enough to kill yourself with this amount. How do you even finish it before it expire ?

          Depends on the size of the household, ages and activities of people living there. Plus depending on the product and storage, most expiration dates have some wiggle room.
