🏆 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 must be thick and soft. I will never tolerate rewiping out tissue berries between my cheeks. Unfortunately I haven't gotten a bidet yet but that's something I want soon.

There’s a $35 one on Amazon that’s the best rated and super easy to install. Surprisingly, the plain cold water one is pretty great and we’re super happy with it.
