Here's a couple examples from my life:

Safety Razor. I get a better shave and it's like $15 for 100 razor blades, which lasts me a couple years. Way way way better than the disposable multi-blade Gillette things, which sell 5 heads for $20.
Handkerchiefs. I am prone to allergies, so instead of constantly buying disposable tissues, we now have a stack of handkerchiefs that can just be used a few times and then thrown in the wash. This has also saved me loads.

What about you?

What time are you from where a $400 vehicle payment is a lot?

I mean yes, people have payments over 700 a month but to me, paying 400 would be a lot.

Many people have payments over $700 a month.

60 months at $700 a month is $42 000 and that’s not much when you include financing cost.
