Canned fruit salad, the ratio of ingredients is for some fuckdamn reason federally mandated so there's little difference between brands.

I too started using rinse aid after watching technology connections. Got a generic bottle and that shit works great!

A lot of basic foods, for instance: tuna, Pop Tarts(toaster pastries), Frozen Veg, Dry Pasta.

The store brands are so much cheaper and often higher quality.

Malt-O-Meal cereal is often better than the name brand and even comes in a resealable bag.

Don't know about the rest but canned tuna has an enormous taste difference. Try a good 10 USD can!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

The stores I go to do not even sell $10 cans of tuna. Rich people really do live completely different lives huh.

Power tools. If you are not a professional and need to buy a tool (if you can't borrow one), buy the cheap one.

I used a $30 Ryobi drill for over a decade and it was fine.

I wouldn't even call Ryobi the cheap one, they are good quality and cost more than many others. Harbor Freight is what I'd call cheap - my rule of thumb is that very simple hand tools from HF are OK but anything complex is probably not

Oculus Quest headstraps.

The official "pro" headstrap (~$70) is cheap quality for an expensive price point and isn't as comfortable as the stuff you can find on Amazon for, like, thirty dollars.
