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.

    Authentic Asian/Indian/Chinese/Korean ones do not do it. This is a Western capitalist thing, because Nestlé is well known to add lead in Maggi’s tastemaker. Worst form of adulteration I have seen in Indian grocery sellers is adding tiny stones to bags of lentils or beans to increase weight, and they can be easily removed and is also becoming uncommon with time.

      Uhh, yes they do. This does not take much googling to find out. Capitalist companies produce spices in the east too.
