I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

It would sound plausible but is not, and its more like I told people to just focus on not cheaping out on this small list of goods, rather than all the people trying to list the goods people should cheap out on. Infact, my answer was in line with what's being proposed as some famous quote, that buy cheap option of any good first until it breaks, and so on.

People can safely cheap out on most goods, its the ones that should not be, that are important. Concise knowledge is far easier to store in head and apply. And I have a tiny brain lol. I missed OP mentioning this is an opposite of that AskLemmy, and I kinda wanted people to know in this easier way.
