What do you never scrimp on
Jump to: Newest in thread
Nothing.
Been there, done that.
No need to do it now.
On the other hand, neither of us are habitual lavish spenders. Might go out twice a year to a nice restaurant, at most (in non-covid times).
Haven't had a takeaway since March last year. Haven't missed it.
Seems bugger all to spend money on if we're not leaving the house anyway. So nothing to scrimp on ! |

Sex toys and suppliments. Always buy the best quality. Let's be honest folks a £200 toy is a lot cheaper than dating long term(restaurant, dirty weekends, travel, ect). |

Toilet roll. Always buy the soft thick branded stuff.
Wellington boots. I spend most of my life in them so want comfort these days. At close to ninety quid a go, and I get through three pairs a year, it is a bit of a luxury. |

A Long rambling sentence that takes forever to explain over and over again what could have been said in one simple word but feel the need to put in a full explanation of every sentence that's mainly what I never scrimp on -on the whole given the opportunity to do so.  |

"The heating "
Even with heating, I tend to save my clothes until the weather gets really cold, then do my ironing so my flat gets toasty warm...
No kids nor pets so I pretty much look for a bargain in everything. That said, I do drive a nice car (MX5) and all my sheets are 100% cotton.
I just shop around for bargains... I lurve shopping me...
I do spend a small fortune at the nail bar on acrylic and gel nails... |

"Bicycles and components: if it's got PRO written on it, then you know it's naff.
I assume then it's Campagnolo all the way  "
Campag? Never owned any. (Do white racing caps count?)
I've had from my humble start
Sachs-huret (Peugot and a few others)
Sturmey Archer (Chipper and Chopper)
Suntour (Raleigh and Dawes) no indexed down shifters
The others have been Shimano (Sora/Tiagra/105/Ultegra)
With washing lines and without.
I love my STI's (that'll go down well here)
SRAM has never been used by me either: can't figure out their wierd shallow/deep tap thing. |

I scrimp on very little to be honest but I do buy lots 2nd hand but that’s more environmentally than saving. I’m an ethical shopper researching loads ….. it’s a flaw, forgive me. But it’s very hard to be ethical and cheap.

Actually you're doing just fine, everytime a car is built, the manufacturing process is the hardest on the enviroment, once it is up and running it is still bad for the enviroment (think of what gets replaced when you service and refuel it.) so extend the car's life as long as feasibly possible and limit your damage to the planet |
