in general I try not to accumulate a lot of stuff, so as much as possible I try to just not buy the thing at all if I don't really need it. most of the stuff that I would theoretically buy the cheap version of I actually get for free from roommates moving out. one good example is furniture. I don't care about furniture, but I do need a bed, a couch, etc., so I just buy the cheapest reasonable pieces I can find at walmart or ikea. there's a good chance I might move far away in the next few years. when/if that happens, I'll just sell or give away all my current furniture and buy new shitty versions wherever I end up. I'll probably recoup a lot of the money by renting a smaller uhaul and not having to pay professional movers.
