Anything that separates me from the ground (shoes, mattress, tires, etc)

good shoes
good tires
quality food (groceries, fruit, veggies)
everything else is pretty much middle of the road

Good towels and bed sheets. I’ll spend $50-60 per bath sheet and $100 on bed sheets. Both are extremely comfortable and will last for years.

Concert tickets, though that seems like a thing of the past now. You can't replicate the experience of seeing your favorite band up close.

Food. I'm a hedonist, and I try to make everything into debauchery. I select my meals with my stomach and primal urges, not based on what my wallet says.

Electric bill.
I don’t care what it costs, running the shite out of the AC to keep it freezing cold in our room at night

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
The cheapest people I know would never buy a $5+ cup of coffee. I'm not cheap, but I got tired of buying coffee when I wanted an espresso or something. So, I bought a decent espresso machine and a grinder. I can count on one hand the number of times I've bought anything other than a basic cup of coffee over the past few years.

Condoms. I don't want to be called a cheap fricker.

Baby gear.
I concur. When they're growing rapidly, it doesn't make sense to buy them $80 outfits except for special occasions.
You're better off going to Belk, Kohls, Target, etc since they're a lot cheaper.
Shoes, OTOH need to be high quality when they start to walk.

Tape.
Whether it's electrical, packaging, duct , or whatever, nothing is more aggravating than trying to tape up stuff with cheap tape.
