Better idea: Quality over quantity.

Buy well made stuff that lasts a lifetime and doesn’t fall apart or implode 1 day after its warranty date.

But then, they wouldn’t be able to sell us 8 vacum cleaners in one lifetime would they?

My mom still has the first pair of kitchen shears she bought 40 years ago. Same vacum cleaner, same metal cleaning bucket, same ceramic mixing bowls. My dad has the same hammer, saw, screwdriver set he bought 40 years ago. They are only on their second lawn mower ... on and on.

You can’t even buy this stuff anymore. Mostly what is available is cheap crap.

I still have the same excellent Electrolux vacuum cleaner I got when I first got married.
