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.

Indeed. And that's a great point, I would love a fairphone (or idealy a true linux handheld) for my next mobile device.

The key to my post is that purchasing $1500 sansungs and ios devices is ludicrous in this market, unless you are developing on the cutting edge or are a luxury tech enthusiast

It is, yeah. Especially if it's to change it after 2 short years of use because if you keep it longer than that you look like a bum or whatever. I will never understand that tbh.
