False EconomiesSometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Disagree with both. Cheap toilet paper is fine as long as you don't go too cheap. Cheap shoes are also fine if they're the pathetic excuse for footwear you're contractually obliged to wear to work or a "brand name" from an "outlet store" -- both are cheap and both serve their purpose well. I have also bought expensive footwear only to be disappointed.
