What things in life are you uncharacteristically cheap on?

As I noted earlier, I am normally very thrifty. DH is the one with more expensive tastes, but for the most part we agree (or at least, he pretends to agree with me), especially on the important decisions.

In the past five years, we lost both my parents and my father-in-law, as well as several of my and DH’s aunts/uncles, and a couple neighbors. Back in high school, DH worked part time in a mortuary, occassionally helping with the heavy lifting (one of his friends’ had the family business). After attending a half dozen funeral services, DH recently told me that he wishes to save us any funeral expenses, and instead have his body donated to medical science. While this is certainly a noble endeavor, as the need in med schools in always present, I think DH decided this because he wants to avoid a hefty funeral bill. His words - “I can go out as cheap as anyone”
