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.

Do not use free range pallets for anything that isn't strictly decorative with lots of coating on it. Those things are treated to high heaven with loads of chemicals and you never know what they had on them.

Woods preservatives and methyl bromide are known carcinogens and they're not even recommended to burn, let alone grow food in.

    It's forbidden to use chemical treatment on Eur pallet/epal pallets. They are only heat treated. Single use pallet are also forbidden to use chemical treatment, but are normally not heat treated. So for the eu the treatment is not the problem. Of course didn't think of the rest of the world. Sorry for that.

    For the stuff that's was on the pallet collar's stored and transported stainless steel and the free pallets I got where form work and shipped some pavement stones.

    If you don't feel safe buy/getting for free used. New epal pallet collar's are about โ‚ฌ15. They are only heat treated by law.
