I am cheap but not THAT cheap...
When buying food I really don't care much I usually buy whatever's cheapest. Same with household stuff, I go to Walmart because it' as cheap as it gets.
I drive an old car that's really good on gas. I don't mind eating cheap food at all.
When it comes to clothes, I can be cheap sometimes, but I also buy a lot of designer jeans and those are not cheap
I fight with my bf a lot because I think he spends too much money, even though he makes less than me. He REFUSES to eat any food that is generic brand, he will not touch store brand spaghetti such as Ralphs or Albertsons, and I think he spends $8-$10 to buy one container of Odwalla orange juice.
Plus he just recently bought a $200 HAIR DRYER! It's his money so it's not my say, but it pisses me off because we live together and right now he only pays
45% of the rent (he is supposed to pay 50%) and he pays NO utilities, I pay for it. His excuse is because I make 7-8 X more than he does. Thing is that it's not my fault I make more, but I am also very frugal most of the time.
I get mad when he pays $200 for a blowdryer but then refuses to pay utilities because he says it's not fair that he doesn't make as much as me. But I'm thinking, if you don't make enough, why the fuck are you spending so much on a blow dryer? And then he'll say that cheap hair dryers burn his head and lots of other crap
