Pretty much everything..but
I buy almost everything second hand, I have very few possessions that have not come from thrift shops, rummage/yard sales or the used rack of shops that have such a thing. If I do buy new it need to be at least 50% off. I hate store brands from places like Wall Mart (I rarely shop there) I stay a generation or two behind on tech and reap HUGE savings. Broken doesn't scare me and scratch & dent is your friend. I also enjoy fine dining, quality shows, exhibits etc. but I watch for specials, pay what you will etc.
I have never made more than 10K a year but by following the above, I have the lifestyle of some one making 5-6 times that.
