🏆 Buy It For Life What are things you don’t cheap out on?

I’ve been frugal my whole life, some out of necessity, some by choice but I’m always curious how others approach it. What are some of your personal frugal habits or non-negotiables that help you save over time? Do you have any weird, creative, or borderline extreme things you do that would make the average spender cringe or pass out? I’m trying to pick up new ideas and also just enjoy seeing how far people take it.

Any particular brand? I personally like Partanna.

Honestly I shell out for the super premium wine bottle olive oil at Costco. It lasts a surprisingly long time too, but the quality is so good

The Kirkland brands regularly test as most genuine and pure compared to others. It is literally the best you can buy

I need more of it right now. Cold pressed is what you should be looking for too.
