cheap ones,or good expensive ones?

I wouldn't spend all day trying to get a bargain, i just find what i need and get out. I hate shopping. I look for comfort then i'm gone.

it depends a lot on what i'm going to buy!i invest money in expensive watches.this is something i will never buy cheap or settle for something which is not branded because it lasts me a lifetime.next is a pair of jeans i go for nice, well fitted branded pair of denims only cos being a casual person this is what i wear the most.then comes the perfumes again i go for expensive and branded ones and the same with the cosmetics too since i have a sensitive skin and i dont want to end up spending m ore by visiting a dermatologist.but when it comes to flip flops or teh roadside hobos i go in for them depending if i like them,i even buy earrings and anklets from there since they give a very chunky look and if i dont like them i always have a choice of disposing them.

I think you are right, good quality tells in the end. There is a saying 'you get what you pay for'.
I think this trend goes right through life whether you're deciding which soap poweder to buy or if it's a government deciding how much to spend on a new hospital.
It's always the cost factor that decides things and never considerations like quality or service.
It makes me so annoyed that the whole world is on an economy drive and in the end all you get is poor services or products. Nobody seems to care.
Rich countries like UK can afford the best but they choose to go for cheap rubbish all the time.

I agree, I don't buy the most expensive shoes or whatever I'm shopping for but I try to make sure it is of good quality. I sure don't want to spend all day shopping.

in this respect i am totally like you i guess. i buy a little expensive things. i believe in good quality and they also last long. i have seen many friends who say buy lots ogf pairs of cheap shoes. i may buy one pair but of good quality as they lasts long.

I am a clearance shopper and buy cheap all the time. There are some things I wont buy cheap but most stuff I will. I love to find good quality stuff on clearance than I feel really good about my purchases.

Cheap stuff doesn't last. Normally a pair of cheap shoes might last me 3 months or maybe 6.. my SAS shoes were $85 and they are 3 years old and still wear like a glove. They still look good too. They hold up and I only have to polish them and buff them and they are like new again.

I think it depends on what I am buying and how much the prices are! If it is something that I only need once or twice, or that will not hurt me because it is so cheap, then I will buy it cheaper. Sometimes it is the same exact product being offered at two different prices! But if it is clothing that might fall apart after being washed twice, or shoes that will hurt me if made too cheaply, then I will buy a more expensive pair!

I love a good bargain, but buying the cheapest - just because of the price, is not always a bargain at all - as the performance may be lacking, as well as the quality - to such a point that you will need to replace it soon... whereas spending a little more for a quality item may have it lasting you and doing its job sufficiently for many years. the old adage, you get what you pay for comes to mind.

I did not have specific answer for this question till the other day.In the book 'magic of thinking big' it was mentioned that a 'few quality things are better than many a cheaper things'. I started thinking on this idea.
