TP for sure, but generally speaking, you get what you pay for (so I'm willing to pay the extra for better quality, especially in things that are going to be well used).

Yet when you actually do the analysis for an average roll, less than 75% of the TP is actually used. The rest is just along for the ride.

Liquor for sure. (Those of you who drink that nasty Hawkeye vodka, ugh........) Electronics too. I have a buddy who worked at Archer TV and he told me the brand name electronics sold at WalMart aren't made like the stuff Archer has, it's made cheaply. Razor blades (even though they are w-a-a-a-a-a-y too expensive). I don't mind Busch Light - and no, I'm not sucking up to CW - but in my mind it's not that cheap, anyway. Vehicles and tires, I go first class all the way. Not worth it to me to have a POS when you're miles from home.

tires, shoes/boots, and bed. My father always said if you cheap out on any of these, it will cause you pain/trouble in the long run.....

cross stitch thread. Real DMC all the way.

Probably our house and a lot of the stuff in it - like a nice knife set, cooking set, etc. Furniture is nice too...slowly replacing our piecemeal college stuff. I used to buy pretty cheap shoes/clothes and realized I didn't like having to buy them again six months later. I try to find the spot on the curve maximizing quality and price.

and oh yeah, TP like everyone else has said.
