When I was younger my mother purchased a less expensive broom. After
about a week of use the bristles were worn out. Had my mother purchased
the more expensive broom, less than 1.5 the cost of the cheaper model,
she would have saved on time, travel and the cost of replacing the
broom. I learned that you get what you pay for. I now research my
purchased (actually after a few more lessons at cheap). People
question my purchasing habits but I do try to buy the best/appropriate
quality for my money. Of course I don't always avoid purchasing the
cheapest item. Sometimes it's exactly what's called for but for
longer term purchases I usually spend a little more and get the
appropriate quality.
