Has this ever happened to you?
You are comparison shopping for a new product and, after spending a bit of time researching what’s available, are finally left to decide between two different items. If you are like me, you end up choosing the less expensive product assuming everything else being equal.
A short time later, however, the item you thought was the better deal ends up breaking or is defective in some way.
Why does it need to be that way? Why can’t we just spend our money once and not have to gamble on whether or not a product was actually made to last?
There are so many low-quality consumer products clogging our landfill sites because we have tossed them away in frustration because we were duped into buying them in the first place.
If manufacturers did not have to think about “cutting corners” in order to keep costs down, then it does not take a lot of thought to realize that we would see quality items on our store shelves.
Once again, money has not improved our quality of life. In the area of consumer goods, it has driven quality downward and often results in the sad realization that you get what you pay for.
It would be a whole different thing if you knew that the next time you were looking for a product it was actually made to last.
