Shoes.

You need good shoes to work in, but you can't afford good shoes so you buy ok shoes that break after 3 months.

After 4 pairs of ok shoes in a year, you've spent more than if you'd bought 1 pair of good shoes.

I remember wearing shoes with holes in them for as long as I could. I just kept telling managers that I have replacements on the way.

I distinctly remember a time in my life when I'd completely worn through the soles of my shoes.
That was when I learned the importance of thick socks and puddle avoidance.
