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.

Smartphones. Most people don't need to buy the latest and greatest iPhone every year.

I second this, especially with Android you can breath new life into a phone by installing a custom ROM

What if my phone isn't supported by any ROMs? Is there an easier alternative to building it for your device on your own, following the given instructions, for example?

I'm in that situation right now with my OnePlus N10, the plan is to buy a second hand device that is supported by LineageOS
