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.

Well the prompt was what are things you should cheap out on. I have a pixel 6, I think it was $600 or something like that? But to me cheaping out on a phone would be like a $100 device.

Because of how often I use it, it's worth it to me to not have bloatware, to have a good camera, for the battery to last, resistant to water, etc.

    Pixel 7a is currently $500 new, so good mid tier device. https://store.google.com/us/product/pixel_7a

    But really what you should do is get a used mid or top tier phone that's one or two generations behind. Depreciation on phones is so great that you get a lot of bang for your buck.

    For example mint condition Pixel 7 is $300
