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.

I agree with all of that, but shampoo. A bad shampoo will absolutely destroy your hair, particularly if you have long hair.

A lot of people seem to agree with you, so I’ll reassess my stance on the shampoo.

As a person with a short cut, every run of the mill shampoo has done its job. But of course your hair needs to last longer when you grow it out; so adverse effects have more time to pile up.

There is only one shampoo in the US that I have found that doesn't make my hair insanely oily and split. The shampoo "etc" stuff is insanely wrong.
