Essentially Flyertalk / Things you will go cheap on. Things you won't.

Most items I will buy what is cheapest and go, but I will pay $$ for select things.
Cheapie:
Food (grocery shopping)- I'll buy store-brand everything, and I've really learned to like it more than name-brand stuff.
Watches- I love my $30 Timex sport watch, and I also have a couple leather dress watches that are cheap that still look good, albeit simple. I have one nice watch, but I didn't buy it.
Household items- Soap, shampoo, laundry detergent, toothbrushes, toilet paper, paper towels etc.
Flights- I don't care about the airline, coach, or time of flight. If it's cheaper, I'm in.
Ties- Might be an odd one, but I won't pay over $20 for a tie. TJMaxx is great for this since everything they have is less than $15. I don't care what brand a tie is, I can find patterns that I like online for $6 shipped.
Will pay extra for:
Sunglasses- Can't stand cheap ones. Will pay even more for polarized.
Shoes- Specifically running shoes and dress shoes.
Guns- I only own 2, but I'll pay an extra $100 to ensure I'm not doing failure drills every 50 rounds.
Tools- Investment
Some electronics- I'll pay a bit extra for a TV with good picture and a good phone
In between:
Beer- I'll buy cheap stuff when I'm going to get pak'd, or some good beer that I really enjoy drinking. Just depends
