went to home depot to get a broadcast seed spreader - got the mini scotts they got there for $50 ( the cheapest spreader on the market, also the most popular )

before going to Home Depot i watched reviews on YouTube and they said not to get the scotts mini and to get earthway instead ( that is sold on Amazon ). only problem is earthway is SIX TIMES the price.

i was like nah it can't be worth six times more ... so i got the scotts mini ... and it literally fell apart before i could even put it in the trunk of the car - i noticed a metal pin in the shopping cart and when i got home it didn't work ( clearly the pin fell out of it ).

i decided that wasn't the quality i was looking for, went on Amazon and ordered the Earthway.

let's hope it's an improvement !

when i was younger i would research things into oblivion and get the best. back then i would keep whatever i got. today i try the low cost option first, but most of the time i end up returning it because it sucks.

yesterday i requested ( it was approved today ) a return for the generic EGO batteries that were 1/3 the price of genuine ones. today i ordered the eartway spreader after trying the shitty scotts mini first because it was 1/6 the price.

i really want to give low cost options a shot. i really want to believe that price and quality aren't the same thing. but at the same time i am very sensitive to quality.

i never thought of it until now but i suppose i operate on a 3 strike policy. if i see 3 examples of cost cutting or poor design in a product it's going back. i don't care how much cheaper it is than a quality product. in case of both generic ego batteries and scotts mini spreader there were MORE THAN 3 strikes ...

this is not how most people look at it. most people look at 2 products and try to determine how much better a product should be for a given price difference. this is wrong. you should only apply that kind of comparison to compare two products both of which are good. for example two trims of the same toyota. but when the product is bad the price doesn't matter. it's going back.

i apply this to people as well. my mother looks at somebody like her sadist jew husband and be like "nobody is perfect" ... i can't think like this. if a person is trash i won't associate with them period.

there are times when you should be nuanced and there are times where you should draw the line. takes a genius like me to know which to do when.
