In other words, don't buy more quality than you need. Sometimes the cheapest option is the best choice. Other times you'll regret going "cheap," when you have to replace that item well before your need for it goes away. In that case, you'd be better off going for the higher-priced option that will last many times longer than the cheap alternative. The key is in learning how to assess our true needs. When it comes to this quality vs. need thing, I am not perfect. In fact, it has taken me decades to get this quality vs. need thing down to a science. Case in point: When my grandson was born three years ago, I bought the cheapest umbrella stroller Target had to offer. My reasoning was that I would use it only occasionally. I didn't need a big fancy model. Here I am almost four years later, and I can tell you that was a big mistake. What a piece of junk. And I've been kicking myself and fighting with this horrible excuse of a stroller for way too long. And with that, I set out to find the best inexpensive stroller. Every Friday, Eli and I are off for the day to explore and play. We need a reliable stroller. So he and I came up with our list of must-haves: Storage under the seat, a 5-point harness, cup holder, big wheels, folds easily, relatively lightweight and a retractable price is $79.99, but we paid $59.99 at Strollers run the gamut from Amazon.com with free shipping. $15 to $650.
