Myth: you get what you pay for.

It really depends on the product. I have no problem buying cheaper if it meets my needs/wants.

Such an interesting question. One of my husbands previous managers had a saying "Good can be Cheap but Cheap is not always Good"
This week my microwave died so I checked my local independent appliance store and the Big Box retailers. They both had what might appear to be the same microwave: Whirlpool model WMH32519HV. Independent store $449/big box $249.
HMMM why the cost difference. When you google that part number you find there is a YWMH32519HV and one without the Y in front. Independent store has the one with the Y in front which offers a few more features and better wattage for cooking.
It pays to do additional research outside of price there may be a real reason for the price difference. I purchased the model from my indepenent appliance store - Yes I paid more but it gives me an exact replacement for the one I had for 12 years and I know I will get service from the store if needed. My fear was if I purchased the cheaper model it would die within a few years which is my experience when I purchase from the Big Box store vs the Indepentent.

Pretty much never.....my mom always taught me it is better to buy"quality" instead of quantity...so i never minded paying more for something that would last
