Do you think it's worth paying more for better quality?

B2Money & shoppingOpinion

A natural way to answer

It depends on the item. For things I use every day, I think it's worth spending more on quality. For things I rarely use, I'd rather not break the bank and just buy something basic.

Key phrases to use

  • work out cheaper — to end up costing less overall, even if it seems more at first“Buying in bulk works out cheaper.”
  • break the bank — to cost too much or use up all your money“A nice meal out won't break the bank.”
  • throw good money after bad — to keep spending on something that's already a waste of money“Fixing that old car is just throwing good money after bad.”
