everytime we buy something,we mostly look at the price and check the quality of the item..if i wanted to buy something,i care a lot of the quality.regardless if its expensive or cheap as long as the item is of good quality i never mind the price.some people would care for the price,they dont mind the quality,its because its the only thing their money can afford or sometimes out of budget.well,we have different reasons why and it varries sometimes of the situation.like me,i care ofr the quality coz i wanted to make sure that what i bought is durable and i wont have any regrets or doubts buying it.expensive or not as long as its useful for me and will last long.at least im not gonna buy again and again.what about you,is it the price or the quality? :)

I care about the quality of the product im going to buy and also the price of the product. If I cant afford the one with best quality I would just choose what's best among those with the cheaper price.

I consider my budget before I go shopping. I have an idea of what I hope to buy and if I see five of them I will compare the price but look for the best quality if I can afford that. I love to get a bargain so buy one get on free is a deal I look out for. If one item is £2, one is £3.50, one is £4, one is £4.40 and one is £7 the £4 one might be the one I choose if it looks nice enough. If the £7 would be perfect for me I would try to stretch my budget up to that.

Sometimes i'm worried about the quality and when it comes to electrical and plastic products. For food we can be creative to find the cheaper one if we have the choice. But i do admit that sometimes too i'm also concerned about the price because i don't want to be out of budget if i buy the expensive ones. When it comes to clothes whatever the price is as long a i like it and i go crazy about having it then i always find a way to get it.

Well let me say I would go for anything that is reasonable. Now let me sight an example there are these shirts in the mall which are really expensive, but I can get some really good quality thing without the ambience of a shopping mall at a relatively lower price.
Yes quality matters, its of prime importance but then why to spend an extra unnecessary dime?

when i buy things , i usually put quality to be number 1 choice , if affortable , especially household equirement , best quality can last longer although the price is more expensive , it's worst buying than a cheap products .

if it's a 50 cent difference, then i'll get the cheaper product.
if it's a 3 cent difference, i'll pay the full price.
to me, it really depends on the products involved.
more likely than anything, i'll wait to get a good deal on the expensive products ;D

Yes, i care for both of its.I care for the quality and the price.I i think the price is worth for its quality,i will buy it even it is little expensive.But i also buy a cheap thing too for avoid loss because when the quality of cheap thing is same with the expensive thing,why pay more?

Well, I will say it's equally important to me. If an item is cheap, but quality is not good, I will not really buy it. If an item is of very good quality, but it's too expensive, I don't really think I will buy it too. It will be at a certain price which I will be willing to pay at a certain quality.
In addition, I believe that there are things that can be found at a cheaper price, and of quite good quality too. I go for these items...

Whenever we buy thing we should take care of both price and quality.But I think quality is more imp. than price. If the quality is not good the thing we buy is of no use. So, prefer quality.

To me is both because there are somethings I don't care about the cuality and other times I do. I guess it all depends if I need it for a long time or if I'm going to use it just ones. Also I don't have the money to by with out caring for the price of what ever I need to buy. One example is sun glasses I don't buy the expensive ones even if they might be better quality because I either lose them or they brake. And if buy dipers for my baby I want it to be a good quality because I don't want to have any accidents with the diper. So it all depends on what I'm buying. :)

well, i care for the price more than the quality. I love buying new stuff which mean my current stuff are going to go obselete as soon as i buy the new one. And i get new pair of shoes, bag, cloths every month. So what matters to me is the look and feel of the stuff.
I'm bad at maintaining things also :S So even if the qality ois superior it doesnt matter - i end up breaking/tearing/scratching the product! So i'm more price centric - which means i go for things that are affordable and economical :)

Yeah queennee, I do the same thing as you. When come across any desirable item in the outlet I would like to check the price first. If it is affordable I then would check the quality of it. If it is too expensive and in case I can’t afford to buy it I still like to have a look of its quality but I will walk away after that.
I like to purchase things which are economical and durable as well during this recession period. Yeah, sometime we have to get certain essential items which we have to use it all the time with rather expensive price for it is worthy than to get the cheaper ones with poor quality that always cause trouble to us 
Happy posting

I care about quality a lot.I don't really care if what I'm buying is expensive or cheap. as long as the quality is there and I'm certain I can use it for a lifetime,then by all means I buy it.few hours ago,I bought 2 secondhand skirts - one in red plaid and one in black.the quality is really good,also the prices.though I love getting quality materials in low prices,I buy expensive items that are really worth the prices.

I always look at the price of something to make sure i can justify spending the money on it.I also buy the cheapest as that way it wont make me think i have wasted too much money on something that i can no longer use when it is broke and then i may be ok to get another one,that or if i hardly use the item anymore and dont like it.

Hi Queennee,
Even me and my mother is like you. We check the quality only. If the prices are really high or unaffordable, we reject it. But my Dad is the other way around.
He only checks the price. And he is least bothered about the quality it seems.
I and my mom shop on the basis of good content. If there is high quality, there is more satisfaction. It also increases the value of the purchase.
Happy mylotting!
Regards,
-Ajith.
P.S.: Sorry for any grammar errors.

For me its Quality first. I always look for quality rather than price. Because Quality Never Comes Cheap. And quality things lasts long. So why buy a cheap item. It can lead you to trouble. But it's true that, I also have a budget. And I always choose under that budget.
