If it's something I know I'll get a lot of wear out of, I don't mind paying for better quality. If it's something trendy or something I know I'll have to replace at some point regardless of how much I pay for it, I go with a cheaper option. I've definitely been trying to pare down my wardrobe and only buy and keep items that I wear regularly so in that respect, I'm all about quality.<br />As for food, I definitely buy organic and better quality foods whenever they're available. I hate having to buy the cheap version of something! Our grocery bill could definitely be lower, but since the savings would only amount to a couple of Starbucks trips, it's worth it to me to pay the premium for better food.

We act...We similarly prioritize high quality foods. We actually rarely eat meat because it's just too expensive--we prefer to spend the money on organic produce. And, with clothes, my ideal is finding high quality brands at thrift stores. Nothing beats the price of used :)!Mrs. Frugalwoodshttp://www.frugalwoods.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674653477198185199.post-35022808259397779262014-10-06T18:47:14.040-05:002014-10-06T18:47:14.040-05:00at this point in my life...quality, but there was ...at this point in my life...quality, but there was a time when it was just a matter of what we could afford!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938987567999620533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4674653477198185199.post-75587058301700786552014-10-06T09:44:10.809-05:002014-10-06T09:44:10.809-05:00I am starting to learn that quality is better than...I am starting to learn that quality is better than... well, lesser quality. Sure, I have some things from F21 that have lasted me 5 years and I have a pair of jeans that I paid $200 for that lasted 6 months... so it's all about knowing what's gonna fall apart and what isnt, what you're going to get the most wear out of - for me anyway! sometimes that's target and h&m, and sometimes its the more expensive places lol.
