How many times do you have to repurchase a cheap item to think, “Maybe I should just get the more expensive version?”
I teach yoga and need a watch with which I can change the music and keep track of time, and so since my needs are simple, I just buy a cheap smartwatch off of Amazon for $20 and use it until it breaks and then buy another. I’ve been doing this for a couple of years now and have started to have the thought, “Should I have just bitten the bullet and bought the more expensive smartwatch to begin with? Would I have saved money and electronic waste?”
Do you have an item like that? Something you bought for cheap thinking it would save you money but has ultimately cost you more in repurchases than if you had just bought the more expensive version initially?
