Do you purchase items for their quality or for the lowest price?

[Timberlan127]

It depends on the item. I try to go for the lowest price whenever I can but in some cases if it's an item I will use for a long time I will go for quality instead of price.

I usually go for price most the time because I'm really on to write tight budget! When you ossicles reuse he go for price over quality because you don't have much money! I would like to go for quality but I can't afford it.

I look for the highest quality at the lowest price ~ depending on what I'm after.

I try hard to find quality at a deal.  I shop a lot on Ebay and buy a lot second hand to get the quality vs having to buy cheap junk.  But it really depends on the items.

I try to go for lowest price, but sometimes it is best to purchase quality.  I have come to learn you get what you pay for.

[mjdoug03]

It depends on what I'm buying, but I normally go with the lowest price, which tends to be store brand.

[donnitab]

A combination of both depending on the product.

It really depends on what the item is. For instance, I usually buy Great Value (store brand) milk from Walmart because it is just as good as any other brand and really the brand qualities are no better. However I can't resist the best bread on earth (Dave's bread) which has 21 whole grains and all the seeds you could hope for. It costs twice as much as any other bread but for me, it is worth it. For electronics, I would always buy a named brand.

Sometime both.  But more likely I try the cheapest to buy.  But I do compare, if more quality cheaper then I rather buy more to save in the long run rather then the cheapest.

I'm sorry to say that I will choose the lowest price with very few exceptions. If I ever live on a more comfortable budget, maybe I will be more concerned with how it was made (I'd also rather support smaller businesses, but those are more expensive as well) and not only the price.

[Forp]

Usually stick with mid priced and mid quality...found sometimes the touted high quality stuff is overrated.

[aharr1]

I always prefer to buy items for their quality and not for the lowest price sometimes your not even saving that much money  when you buy lower quality for lower price.

[davidh121]

I try to find a balance.  There are certain items, which I find critical to have great quality and will pay more, especially when there is safety involved. Other items - particularly food such as cereal I might be a bit more open and will shop more towards price.

[gbabesmom]

It really depends. Most store brands are good while some food like chips or cookies from the dollar store are nasty. If I find a good deal on a quality product I'll buy it.

[lgemini]

I like to buy items for the low price , when it is of quality.
