    Bottled watered is usually cleaner than rolling the dice on tap... Which can be dirty from water main repairs you don't know about. I'd rather know my water was clean and not full of Dallas poo... Which is where our tap water is sourced.... Just think about that.....

    You nailed it on this. I will filter my own water.

    Same with coffee.

    But shoes- there can be a night and day difference between a good pair of shoes (or boots) and a cheap pair of shoes. If you've never owned a good pair, you're missing out. Do your feet a favor.

    Cars.

    I wonder how many people who won't pay for premium $5 coffee or bottled water own a BMW, Mercedes, or Lexus.

    Didn't you ever drink from a water hose when you were a kid?

    I drink on tap mainly because I don't feel like carrying around heavy ass water bottles.

    Definitely clothes. Like RM95 I rock nothing but clearance rack at Old Navy. I have no fashion sense and am proud of it.

    Clothes for sure, especially kid's clothes. I can't fathom why anyone would pay for designer clothes that are going to be outgrown in three months.

    They don't charge $5 for a cup of Joe.

    I get a 12 oz "tall" coffee for 1.85 and I get free refills.

    Easy. Condoms. I'll be damned if i have to shell out extra cash for this lubed and "for her pleasure" nonsense. Dry is the way to go.

    Be wary of drugstore sunglasses. Those things will fry your eyeballs. At least shell out $25 for some polarized lenses.

    I personally hate spending money at any place where the workers don't even feign an attempt at gratitude for you supporting their business. For instance, spending $50+ at restaurants where the servers/managers/owners have a couldn't care less attitude about my experience.

    Yeah, all my work clothes were bought on sale at either Steinmart or Kohl's.

    And weekend clothes are all Old Navy. I've been wearing a $4 pair of flip-flops I got at Old Navy for about a year now.

    Commissions and fees on stock trading. I use the Robinhood app to avoid them.
