[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 737385, member: 4040"] Most of my shopping is frugal; I tend to buy things looking at cost per wear rather than the initial price. For example, I wear Birkenstocks. I have several pairs that are over twenty years old, and I have them rebuilt rather than buying new. I'd rather pay $120 for a pair of shoes that I know will hold up over the years than buy a pair for $20 that will hurt my feet and break down in a month. I've had to drag Hubby, kicking and screaming, into this mindset. He looks at initial cost, but if you're replacing those shoes every month or so, and your feet hurt besides, what exactly is being saved? [/QUOTE]
