I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    My point was about myself actually. I didn’t mean to generalize to any group as much.

    Also, I do agree that super cheap t-shirts don’t really last very long. And my point wasn’t that I’d buy t-shirts only if they’re under $5. But rather that “I’m not spending more than $50 on a t-shirt”.

      Yeah, this is all subjective, for sure. And I agree that there’s a sweet spot for cost for almost any product: under a certain amount, it’s going to be really crap quality; and over some amount, you’re probably just paying a premium for branding.
