Funny Spending? Really Is.

When I think about quality versus quantity the first "thing" that comes to mind is cost. How much is "it?" I try to rationalize my spending based upon how much money I have at that moment. Keeping in mind, that my net worth is probably negative according to government statistics...

It really depends on the product. For example, I use many kitchen trash bags because we take the garbage out daily and sometimes, multiple times throughout the day. So I purchase kitchen trash bags from the 99-cents Store. Yes, the quality is cheap, but I feel like I get my money's worth. I don't need "heavy-duty" or any other special quality from a kitchen trash bag. Well, there is a brand of trash bags with a particular scent that I'm attracted to, which is why I continue to purchase "it." Quantity over quality; for the kitchen trash bags at least...

Fashion is tricky for me. I like comfort and I like nice. Until I get into better shape (by my own standards), I refuse to spend crazily on clothes. I justify my spending on clothes by how great of a deal the purchase is in regard to cost. I'm unable to shop exactly how I'd like, but I make due with what "I can" and "that" feels great!

I was just thinking about my spending patterns today. It seems like the more money I have to spend, the less I buy in quantity, but purchase higher quality items. When I'm nearing my last dollar it seems like I spend for quantity over quality. Shaking my head...
