High quality or cheap price

I got into a situation earlier when I had to choose from two different brands of coffee makers. We all love brewed coffee at home so I decided to get one so that we could brew our own. However the choice is a High quality brand commercial bunn coffee maker and a lower quality but at a way cheaper price. When I say quality, I just meant design and brand. I cannot really argue about the built because what would I know about that.

So I decided to weigh the pros and cons. If I bought the high quality one, wouldn’t it be an overkill? It is almost five times the price of the cheaper one however because it is for commercial use, it will definitely last a lifetime at home. The cheaper brand on the other hand will definitely not put a hole in my wallet. Plus I can throw it away whenever it looks old already.

However, I remembered one of Randy Gage’s teachings… To get the most value for value exchange. I asked myself, is this cheap brand worth the price? Is this branded coffee maker really worth this much?

After much deliberation I bought the branded coffeemaker. The idea is to get the best. Honestly, it felt good. Even if it left a dent on my bank account.
