Buy for quality, not the price!
Many people think that being frugal is all about getting the lowest price you can, turning from name brands to cheaper alternatives, and saving money in the long run by getting all the dupes! However, they don’t know that thinking like this is actually against the frugal lifestyle!
As all frugal people know, you don’t need to trade products, but rather do your research and find the best quality product at the lowest price you can find.
This obviously applies to technology as well! There’s no need to ignore the cons of a product just because the price is, at times, way cheaper than something from a big brand. After all, chances are that you will end up having to replace that product way faster than if you opted for a quality product. Why buy a cheap laptop that will break by next year when you can spend a bit more on one that will last you a few years?
Remember: you may spend more now on something of better quality, but you will save money in the long run due to the long usage life you will get out of the tech product!
