Some ways I am Frugal, but there are a few things that you get what you pay for. Audio equipment, Mountain Bikes, Cheese, Tools, Kitchen Knives are a few examples. Often with these things, if you cut costs, you get inferior product. Often, you have to buy again at a later date. If you buy the aforementioned products, buying the most well made, you buy it once, and that should last you the rest of your life.
