I've been poor, and I've been middle class. I much prefer middle class. 
When poor, there were three things I didn't scrimp on:
* Good coffee (cheap to buy good coffee and grind it in the Bay Area).
* Two ply toilet paper
* My cat - I once paid $600 in vet bills while still in college. I worked extra hours to recoup the $$. My mom said I should have let him die. He was a great companion cat for another 13 years after that incident.

Toilet paper. Now THAT'S an honest answer, and I can agree to that one. I think I would never sacrifice quality TP, no matter how hard the times...

I think spending a little more on vehicles and clothing can pay off in the long run ... you don't end up in the shop as often, and you don't have to keep replacing your clothes because they shrunk or wore out.

I would say that my biggest splurge would be skincare... you only get one face!

My mom sacrifices quality for COLOR. Seriously.
She has one bathroom that is decorated in shades of cranberry. She buys ONE PLY toilet paper, BECAUSE it is pink and "matches." Same thing with the master bathroom, decorated in blue. One ply blue TP, because it "matches."
What's wrong with two ply and WHITE? I thought white went with everything.

no only that but may want to tell your mon , that when it comes to toilet paper you may want to avoid different colors than white ---- since sometimes blood in the stool would not be as clear to see if there was a problem ---- which I hope it never takes place

I will always spend a little extra on a nice steak, but not often.

It's refreshing to read some honest answers, not that most posters are honest, but people outside of here often are not...
I would say I wouldn't scrimp on fruit and vegetables, tp, and medicine.Two for health and one is comfort!
