Better quality down and baffling/fill power. Breathes much better and keeps you from getting too hot.

Auto insurance. Always keep yer tort option.

Your OneShoe.

Your OneWatch.

I was going to add haircuts, but a lot of guys can get the old short-back-and-sides and still look great.

I was going to say your OneSuit, but a nice body can pull off a cheap suit.

The list is surprisingly small.

Oh, I want add tools. For sure. Buy the best you can afford.

The one thing I really don't cheap out on is food, mostly the staples. It's damm expensive but I'll make the effort to buy locally, organic if necessary and non-processed as much as possible.
