Has there ever been a product that you previously swore you would never buy but eventually did because times are tough?

In this age of tariffs and bleak uncertainty, I resorted to buying used underwear and used chewing gum. Thankfully I did get a free trial of Amazon Prime so that I didn't have to reach the $35 mark for free shipping. Some generic soap and crackers on sale were added to my order for a feeling of completeness.

So I guess in my case I didn't previously swear that I wouldn't buy 2 such previous items used, because it didn't ever cross my mind to begin with.
