    Quickdraws "frugal" thread was good so I thought I start one on things I DON'T skimp on. I'll start, ya'll chime in.

    #1 TOILET PAPER- Really. Angel Soft fo me.

    #2 Whiskey- Jack Daniels

    #3-Teethpaste- Colgate paste and I buy it one sale. Been using it my whole life and I don't have a single cavity.

    #4 Meat- No ground in the tube. No processed lunchmeat. And no vaccum packed crap.

    #5 Firearm optics- If it says "Made in China", it is Crap. Don't argu with me, it will just prove how much of an idiot you are.

    I'm not a whiskey snob. JD just seems to me to be the standard by which all others are judged. I'll do Crown when somebody gives it to me.

    Toilet Paper - because even the good **** really ain't that expensive.

    Alcohol - the older I get the more cheap beer and liquor **** me up in a bad way! Abita and Crown Reserve, thank you.

    Phone - iPhone for life, yo.

    Guns and Gun Parts - all of my guns are tools, and simply put I choose quality over quantity.

    Food - I avoid fast food as much as possible. I do eat cheap, but try to eat good, non-processed foods. I'm also a sucker for brand name stuff, very little of what I buy is store brand.

    Knives - After getting my first Benchmade, anything of lower quality just annoys me.

    Shoes - a good dress shoe or work boot is worth its weight in gold if they are comfortable and you spend a lot of time on your feet.

    Knives - a good quality steel in a knife is worth it to keep a sharp edge as long as possible. I have some Cutco knives that I would not give up because they keep their edge.

    I might be adding belts to my list soon. I have to see how I like the beltman belt coming in about a month.

    JD is a good product at a good price, not skimping. There is better whiskey, but their is better everything. Hell, you can buy toilet paper by the roll in designer colors from 100% virgin pulp paper with a gold seal, doesn't make angel soft skimping.
