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.

Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.

The "generic" name is melamine sponge. These work exactly the same and cost a fraction of the brand name.

    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
