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.

Drugstores here (Denmark) are required by law to ask if you'd like to buy the cheaper alternative to brand medicines. They will often change from week to week so a typical order at the drug store would be "I need this" - "I'll grab it for you but are you OK with cheapest alternative?"
