Absolutely. I’ve learned over the years that it usually works out pretty well to find out how much the cheapest dogshit option is and aim for an option roughly 1.5x the cost. Obviously not a blanket rule but it covers a surprising amount of common items and I’ve gotten plenty of long-lasting affordable alternatives that I actually enjoy using rather than having the crappiest version of everything.
High price = high quality.
The luxury pricing model has totally enveloped markets at this point and the correlation rarely applies now.

Yeah I look for the cheapest option and go a step or two higer
With automobiles, there is an anti-correlation.
That’s a great one
That’s true but the other direction is generally true. Not always, but often high quality does come at a cost.
