A good set of tools should be a bit more expensive. Cheap tools may not work very well or could cause injuries. If you want a set that will last, just go for a more expensive, higher quality version.

2. Canned goods

Don’t skimp when it comes to chargers and power strips or other electronics. They could mess up your phone or other devices and probably just won’t work very long. Worst case scenario? It could actually cause a fire.

5. Medicine and vitamins
