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.

This is horrible advice. Cheap nonstick flakes nasty teflon chemicals into your food. Shitty advice

Cheap nonstick flakes nasty teflon chemicals into your food.

All Teflon coatings will degrade if abused. Getting expensive nonstick just makes you want to use it longer than you should (sunk cost), and abuse it because it's "more durable".

So get a cheap T-fal, be very careful with it, always handwash, never use metal utensils, dispose if damaged at all, and only use for eggs.

Lastly, If you can't use a nonstick pan carefully every time, just don't use nonstick at all.
