What are some things you can/should cheap out on?

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.

Generic meds vs brand meds.

Brands pay a lot for branding, and thus charge more. The formulas are moderated and regulated by the FDA, so unless you enjoy paying for ads, get the generic.

This isn't always true. The content has to be the same, but the delivery mechanism can be different in generics as long as testing shows similar results

Generic concerta for example, often sucks
