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.

Poorly Google Pixels arent very cheap. You can soon get a Pixel 8 used for like 500โ‚ฌ but yeah that is not cheap at all.

All the other devices you should NOT cheap out on. They have no security updates, and you are the product.

Buying expensive Samsung stuff on the other hand makes no sense, because you are simply premium spied on.

GrapheneOS is really the only Android one should use. Everything else is a tracking platform or insecure, often both.
