Of course, higher cost doesn't always equal better quality but choosing based on price point instead of quality isn't the way to reliably get quality. I think it's important to spend our time and money on things that we really value. How many times have I wasted an hour on Facebook then complained about never having any time!

I was spending about 3.99 per day in Diet Coke. That's $120 a month or $1,440 a year! Nutbag! I've worked it down to about $30 a month - one 2 liter a day! I stopped buying Starbucks too and just cleaned out my old - but nice- coffee maker. I'm making it at home now. Gasp! So true Tim! I was spending about 3.99 per day in Diet Coke.
