“As a child, I was with my dad at the store while he was choosing coffeemakers to purchase. He told me to always choose the option that had the fewest features and most basic design that still gets done what you want it to.”
“Even for the same initial price, more moving parts, especially electrical ones, means more chances for things to break or malfunction over time, leading to the need to replace them sooner. I find that I also save on maintenance and cleaning time/cost for these items, and I almost never need to replace things that I buy.”

The classical error to not search before buying ... This is not a Black Fraud problem, it is only hers. Prices will go up and down the hole year.

Sad that there's people out there who don't know how to polish leather shoes. The problem now is that so many things are so poorly made it doesn't matter how careful we are they'll still break a lot sooner than the old days.

That’s called planned obsolescence! Has been a business practice for a long time now.

#9 You can still shop every day, as long as you only buy what you need.
