"I want the best and the cheapest..." Of course, who doesn't. This is me revisiting the age old question, is cheap actually cheap? It's not all that simple. I've learned some things about my own purchasing decisions on this front, and thought I'd share what I've learned. The point is, do what works for you. Cheap may be the best, but "cheap" will look different to all of us. Get a purchasing operating system for yourself so you don't get trapped like I still do, compromising and getting the less expensive option then regretting it!
