There are some things you should pay a bit more money for to make sure you get the best quality, such as a car or a house for instance, but there are some things that you probably should cheap out on because you will lose them:

Sunglasses - It’s nice at the time when you just shelled out a couple hundred bucks for some Gucci sunglasses, but guaranteed within a year you will either accidentally sit on them or lose them somewhere in your car only to find them 5 years later when they will out of style.

Gloves - Precisely two weeks after winter you will not be able to find one of your gloves or you’ll be like my BF and forget your really nice leather gloves your GF gave you last Christmas at the pub.

Umbrella - You will leave this on the bus or at a restaurant a month after you buy it.

Earrings - I’ve only ever owned one pair of earrings worth anything. They were an anniversary present from my BF and after 3 years of never losing them, the day finally came and one of them went astray. But that doesn’t mean I don’t still want some diamond earrings eventually. Maybe I’ll just get some cubic zirconia’s instead though, just to be safe.

Socks - Atleast one sock from every pair will disappear via a magic portal to a different dimension in the dryer. It’s science.

Chapstick - Just buy this in bulk from Costco because you’ll either forget where you put it or accidentally leave it in your jeans and it will melt in the wash.

Got anything else to add to this list?
