I often hear, “You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc…” but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

    My idea is not to discourage perfection (100%), but that the law of diminishing returns applies everywhere. Even communism will be insanely effective at 90% or above application. States like USSR were not 100% communist, but probably 95%, this does not mean they were not communist states, the kind of lie lot of people love to parrot about AES and former communist states.

    Think of it, China is a market socialist economy, and their manufacturing for the whole world increasing global PPP for everyone is a form of communism at an economic level. And China is not even communist yet, only AES.

    I am not parroting the nonsense that full communism is impossible, or that if it is not possible, imply that we must not strive for it and remain stuck with the garbage capitalist pyramid system. But 100% might not even be needed before its effects are observable.
