i believe the thought starts and ends at "shiny trinket gooood"
I was going to say something to that effect. It feels like people are more into the experience of shopping rather than the actual product.
I’m starting to feel old-school in that I’m happy to pay more (sometimes much more) for a quality product that will last.
It frustrates me that it’s hard to find answers to questions about products before you buy them and that most information seems to be scammy affiliate links blogs.
That's always what I was taught as a kid! My mom always insisted it was better to save up and spend $100 on a decent pair of shoes that will last a few years instead of $30 for shoes that will fall apart in a few months
