Going to places like Costco, Sam's Club, or Generic bulk item store has made me see that you can get a good quality of items (food at least) in very large quantities.
Otherwise most of the good quality stuff is made very quickly and in huge numbers at a time anyway. iPods, cell phones, books, kittens...
This actually made me laugh out loud.Good morning blues said:
I've occasionally try to go "slumming" when I shop. Sometimes it works (no-name pasta) but it often fails miserably (no-name pop or shampoo).
I will say that the quality vs. quantity argument works better when dealing with large-scale manufacturing than it does with individual shopping habits.
Quality and Quantity.
If I can find a Quality Product, that Comes with alot of Quantity, I'm gunna take that over something that is pure quality, and pure quantity.
Throw this into the console wars, the ps3 is both quality, and quantity, where as the 360 is just a single product of questinable quality. (see red ring of death)
When it concerns food, Quality all the way. Quantity is all good and fun, but you know what? I'd rather eat a $50 steak, than touch an all you can eat $5 steak...
Now games, games. Well
Quality can be said to be in the Quantity of gameplay hours.
If I'm going to be paying $60 per game, I want at LEAST 20-40 hours of gameplay out of it! Otherwise, if Its a 6 hour game, I'm paying $10 an hour to play it.
If I' play it for 60 hours, I'm paying $1 an hour. Obviously 'too' much quantity is going to lack on the 'graphical quality', or it can just 'cheapen' the content... (see wow).
Though, games like Disgaea....
Daaaaaamn, I must have 180 hours on that game already and I still haven't scratched the surface...
I only paid like $25 for it to...180
Thats like $0.13 per hour of gameplay... and that'll only go down.
Of course, I'd like you to point out a PSP game you can play a couple hours every day after work while you wait for a ride.

Hell yeah, I'd rather have one bottle of pepsi over a case of tesco value cola, no matter how many toilets I needed to clean.
I actually had this dilemma, a 2kg xmas box of variety cookies, or the 700g Fox's obscenity in a silver wrapper cookies collection.
You have the 40 custard creams, I'll take the 2 shortcakes covered in strawberry creme and swathed in about half an inch of GOOD chocolate.
Of course, as came up in the 'headphones' thread, it can be taken too far, I'd rather go to a decent steakhouse once a month than McD's twice a week, however I'm not gonna trade it in for 2 trips a year to the finest gourmet 5 star restaurant.
Honestly, I was treated to a trip to the local 'posh' place recently, and the fillet steaks were around $60, came on a saucer, not a plate, and were smaller than a playing card. Admittedly the two people who ordered them said they were some of the best steak they've had, but damn, I just couldn't justify that. If I was rich tho, I still don't think I'd eat in the 'finest' restaurants, there's a part of me that just loves a big steak, fries, and a pepsi with fudge cake and ice cream, not the poncey nonsense that you see on cooking shows.
