I have a tendency to, if I want to buy something, to first crunch my brain and the Internet to figure out the best possible kind of what I want to buy thats available, at all, that I can afford, and then literally bargain hunt -the world- for the best possible deal on that very item thru the Internet, and buy several of them.

Not only has this saved me lots of money, but also with several things in my life if I get my tool/thing to do the task, I got The Very Best I could get which is very satisfying.

If I do namedrop a specific product or brand, pay attention if you are in the market for something similar, because that generally is a very reserched pick. It may not be your choice or most suitable for you, but it generally is for me.

We, most of us including me, dont do this enough, to really use what is available to us, the best our brain and the internet can make of it, to find solutions, and because of it we mediocre on, to our disadvantage.

I have this problem.  When I find something I want.  I research it to death and find the best possible deal because of the anxiety I get of having buyers remorse.  The idea of receiving the item only to find out that there was a better deal or another product of the same category that actually might have been a little better.  If I'm gonna buy it, its gotta be the best one!!

I do this, but I don't experience any anxiety from it. I just have expensive taste and like high quality things.

It brings me a lot of pleasure to go through the process as Asante described it.

How many chef's knives do you buy in your life?

Lets say, three normal ones.

So lets say, your chef's knife will be something you cook with for 25 years.

Picture cooking for 25 years with a knife that sucks.

Now picture spending the money for a Grade A chef's knife, exactly the one you want, that maybe costs as much as the 3 put together but which lasts you a lifetime.

Then, for 75 years, you do kitchen work with a knife that gives you joy and satisfaction every time you get it out.

Every leek is cut with a sense of satisfaction.

Should the going get super rough, you have an asset worth something to sell second hand. A musician friend does this with guitars.

See what I'm saying?



Get The Good One - if possible. Very often its not even near the most expensive.
