What do you prefear .a pair of shoes to 10 dollars, and after 1 month you must buy others, and you don t like because are not very nice and not quality or a good brand?Or you will buy a pair of shoes to 200 dollars, who are a good brand,very nice, feel good and comfortable when you wear..and all know that you have quality stuff?Somebody say that " i am to poor to buy cheap things". I am sure that this is true, to buy just one thing, but very good quality is much better as you buy 10 cheap stuff.
What do you think about this?

There is a saying - "cheap bargain is money lost". So far the most noticeable things attached to our daily life I never go for cheaper things. Quality always count. Hence I never compromise with quality things. If needed be I would not have but in that case I would never get into a cheaper things. Of course there are certain objects alike casual apparels. They are cheeper the better. Just for one season and get another next round.

Well it doesn't mean that when a product is cheap, it's not of good quality. There are manufacturers who are able to balance price and quality on their products. Just don't buy fake products. Buy products that are known and original even if they have a reputation for being cheap. I think proper handling has something to do with the life of the product. If you take care of it, even if it's cheap, it will last. Sometimes, products are expensive just because of the name but it doesn't mean it's durable. You just take care of it because it's expensive.

I will buy things that I love, whether with quality or not. I can spend a dollar or 100 dollar for that. Still, I restrain myself not to buy anything that's too expensive, like $500 shoes when I can spend the money for something else. There's no "I am poor so I buy cheap things" to me because I prefer my satisfaction over price and quality.

yes i am poor, and i buy cheap things... cheap in a sense that it is on sale.
cheap quality things... this is what i mean. i have shoes that is older than my kids (my eldest is 13), and i am still using it up to now, and i bought it really cheap, like 70% discount off the tag price. yes i am poor and i buy cheap things but i use my head... lol
not because it is cheap it's not of good quality... not mine...lol
there are really cheap things that i buy, like those that i think i will not need to use for a very long time.
but those that i need to wear or use for a long time i buy those with good qualities, and i buy them when they are on sale... cheap but good quality

I always go for quality. I don't mind shelling out a few extra bucks as long as I know that I am getting my money's worth. But that's just me. I think when it comes to buying stuff, it's varies based on a person's preference. At the end of the day, whether you buy something cheap or not, you should be one satisfied customer.
