Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

Sandpaper. Cheap sandpaper loads up, and wears out so fast that it's never worth the savings. Spend a bit more and it will last 3 to 5 times longer.

Recs? I just buy whatever home Depot is selling when I need to sand something.

I've never had much issue with Home Depots sandpaper. I get 3m when I can afford it. Avoid Harbor Freight sandpaper at all costs.

3M cubitron 2 is the best value to performance I've found and I'm buying it for a fabrication shop that goes through hundreds of discs a month on sanding aluminum, steel, and stainless steel.
