I'm really cheap but my one item I will drop money on throughout the month is good coffee. It's really not "expensive" but it's adds up getting it every day

My dad was cheap.

He said to spend money on your eyes, your teeth, and your feet.

That was good advice.

Food. I won’t buy cheap, processed, boxed trash. I stay as fresh as I can.

I tend to spend money on things that should last a while or things I use every day. I don't usually buy the BEST MONEY CAN BUY but I also do not go cheap on these items. I'm middle to high end. Buy once, cry once.

Guns, golf clubs, camping gear, vehicles, phones, tools, etc.

I also agree with the poster that said Toilet Paper!

Toilet paper - a woman I dated a while back thought I was "bougee" for buying Charmin. Sorry, I don't like wiping my arse with sandpaper and it seems like you use more of the cheap stuff anyways.

Dog food - I don't feed the dog high priced steak and maybe she gets the refrigerated stuff as a special meal every once in a while. However I will spend a few extra bucks on a higher quality dog food.
