Cheapy the Cheapskate

Ever heard of the saying, "a cent for a cent's worth"? An eye for an eye, that's what I've heard almost too often but when it comes to getting quality and good value for your money; is a $1 really a $1's worth? This rings true in most cases when you engage an unscrupulous vendor to give or sell you his service/product. When you see that the quality of the same is way less than what you thought your money's worth is...but is it really true in such circumstances. For instance, if you buy a K-car but you expected an European finishing and quality, is that realistic or even possible? Satisfaction is very subjective to the individual and it is in this aspect that we must also remember there are guidelines and standards for acceptance. Bigger brands sell at higher prices and do you know why? It's not because of their exceptional quality, sometimes you get same and even better from lesser known brands, or even the processing that it goes through. Its because of the marketing $ that went into bringing about the product to you. So next time don't be too concerned about the brand. Think more in terms of whether it suits so, you like it, and of course more importantly, is it worth it.

Cheapy the cheapskate are those who are always out looking for bargains at the expense of other people, takes liberties with free items, and are willing to pay much less than the actual determined value of the product or service they want.
