Save by buying them in the men's department at Walmart. I don't buy many, but it gets me that the same Hanes brand is always cheaper in the men's department for sweats, t-shirts and socks.

Sorta splurge with the complete care type stuff. I figure you only get one set of teeth and mine aren't as young as they used to be.

Bicycle

Save, as I don't have one these days.  And the best bike I ever had all through my teens until my early 20s was one my Pop-Pop found in the trash.

Outdoor gear (waterproof stuff, boots, etc.)

Splurge. I'm more of a hardwood floor fan, but if I were to get carpet, I'd properly invest in the stuff!
