A coworker once told me he spends good money on quality products for anything between him and the ground. Cars, mattress, furniture, shoes, office chair, etc. I find that to be a good way to go.


My mom always said we were too poor to buy things twice. Pay more upfront or pay more multiple times down the road.

Mattress and shoes because you spend half you life in one and half in the other.

You can always check the marbling at the store and have a good judgemental call on the steak quality.


Or just go to Texas Roadhouse, pick it out and they’ll cook it for you.

I don’t understand people who buy off brand mustard or cheap whiskey. The taste difference is so vast that the price difference is invisible.

Also things like processed meat: a generic of something that is already chemical filled, now you add lower quality meat into the mix.

Tools for me. Buy cheap and they usually break or at least not function properly for long.

Purses. -- a good quality leather one will last a long time.-- I never buy status purses ( If you're a man, and your wife tells you they are better, don't listen)

Football coach
Ask A&M about that…

It’s not about the size of the contract, it’s about knowing what you’re buying in this case.

Elko might be the most talented coach they’ve hired in awhile and they didn’t even break the bank to do it.
