I'm a tightwad. I think spending a lot on sunglasses and jeans is dumb. Quality is the same.

It really isn't. although I don't regularly invest in high end items i will occasionally splurge on one for my wardrobe.
Designer jeans just have a better feel to it. I've had 3 different pairs of high end jeans. One Tavernitti, Diesel, and tru religion, and there is a distinct comfort and cut to it that is just much better and noticeable. same with my Gucci Aviators. Just a better fit on the face and the lens quality is through the roof.
I'm a big advocate of you get what you pay for. I'm as frugal as the next guy, but it's nice to have a high quality item every once in a while.

And liquor, no way I chince on liquor and appreciate a fine beer or scotch.
