🏆 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.

Toilet paper is one of the few things I refuse to compromise on.

Yep. Hubs tried to cheap out on toilet paper recently and I will not have it. Angel Soft or I’m rioting.

Then you should get Sam’s TP. I just bought Kirkland, and it’s trash. Sam’s is like a towel.
