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.

    I like the Next Level 3600, the 3601 is the long sleeve with a similar cut. Bella Canvas 3001 is the same fit as well with different color options.

    That’s a perfect entry into a capsule wardrobe.

      First: Thanks for the great suggestions!

      Second: Shop around folks! A quick search shows that these T’s go for around $5, but Amazon has them for almost double the price.

      Third: If you have both minibyte can you confirm that the Bella Canvas has a shorter sleeve length than the Next Level? The pictures seems to show that but then again that depends on the model.

        To my eye the sleeves are the same length on Bella Canvas and Next Level. The only difference I can tell is the Next Level shirts are about an inch longer, not the sleeves but the body.

        That said, I’m 6 ft - 145lbs and wear a small in both shirts. They’re both long enough to fit perfectly.

            They’re both 100% cotton, same weight. I believe they’re the same material and feel it.

            Next Level: 4.3 oz. 100% combed ring spun cotton.
            Bella Canvas: 4.2 oz. 100% Airlume combed and ring spun cotton

            The “combed” bit means you should expect them both to be soft.
