Do u follow this, I prefer to buy one food quality item rather than buying numerous cheap items that last once or twice, what do you do?

Food surely only lasts once Confused

I’m sure it’s a typo or autocorrect for good.

I don’t have a rule.
For example, if it’s a clothing item that’s high fashion I might be happy with cheap and lasts one season, if I think I won’t like it for long. (I’m actually not really like that, keep my clothes forever! But you see what I mean)

It depends on whether what I want has a choice... e.g. might be a specific design or furniture where I simply like the look of the cheaper one more.

Depends also on how flush I am at that time.

In general, yes I prefer better quality and will pay more. But no hard and fast rule.

Good quality not food quality! Typo, sorry!
