The Cheaper Price Is A Rip Off!

Cheap
Free Gets Rid Of The Riff Raff
So this weekend National Parks in the U.S. will wave their fees. So our parks will now be wall to wall with no room to fart if you need to. Yet you will be able to smell the methane of the camper next to you. How can you enjoy nature when your head is in the armpit of the family camping “next” to you? You would get way more value by paying the entrance fee the following weekend. However, the fools that go during the “free” weekend are the reason. When you pay they won’t be there! With all of them going the weekend before, they make things extremely more enjoyable for you the next weekend when you pay. The cheaper price is a rip off! Unless you like being ass to mouth with the stranger camping next to you? This free weekend clears out everyone else so you can enjoy the experience.
Beat Up The Deaf Guy?
Recently some security guards ended up tackling a deaf guy coming out of a store and choking him until his face turned all kinds of pretty colors (click here). The reason they tackled him? He didn’t stop when the alarm went off. The mall probably went for the cheaper security company. Now they will end up being sued to the tune of millions of dollars and end up with a crippling PR nightmare. If they would have spent a little more money they would have ended up with a highly trained security staff that would be able to figure out why the man didn’t stop before just tackling him. Maybe his friend frantically throwing sign language at them could have been a sign? That cheaper price is going to cost them dearly.
It’s Not Just HFCS That Is Making You Fat
If you buy high quality food for your family their bodies will feel nourished with less food than if you feed them junk. This will cause them to eat less, not get sick as often, and just offer a higher quality of life over all. The children will be able to focus in school better, get better grades, learn more from the experience, and end up with way better jobs in the end. The family that eats the cheaper food will spend more time at the doctors, always feel more lethargic, not be as focused, and not get near as far in life. The cheaper price is a rip off!
Go Big Or Go Home Wussy
If I buy a computer, I always like to get the best computer I can possibly afford. I want the fastest processor, the biggest hard drive, the most memory, and the highest quality parts. Because of this my stuff lasts for years and years. I edit hi rez images that are thousands of pixels wide. I edit video that looks great on a widescreen tv. I do all kinds of very processor intensive stuff for several years without a problem. My computers last with very few repairs. It’s when I bought a cheaper computer that I ended up with endless repair bills, breakdowns that cost me days of productivity, and an overall more expensive experience. The cheaper price is a rip off!
Short Term Thining Or Long Term Thinking?
So why does the United States always look so hard for the cheaper price? They fail to see the big picture. They think they need to pay the cheaper price because they “don’t make a lot of money.” The problem is that they don’t have enough money because it is spent on the costs of always going for the cheaper price. It’s short term thinking instead of long term thinking. Always ask yourself why that bag of vegetables is cheaper than the other bag of vegetables? Maybe it’s because the cheaper vegetables were grown on a massive corporate farm with tons of pesticides. The more expensive farm was grown organically without tons of chemicals. It was a smaller farm with a family of farmers that have grown up generation after generation passing down the knowledge of how to grow the highest quality vegetables possible. How do you make sure that your vegetables have the most nutrition it possibly can? The big corporate farm only cares about whatever the cheapest method is. It has nothing to do with quality of the product or making sure your family get a healthy meal. The cheaper price is a rip off…even when they both seem like the same exact product on the surface.
A Cheap Widget Vs A Quality Widget
A Widget for the record is a non specific product. It is used in situations where you want to discuss something without someone missing the point because of the example. So fill in whatever you want when I say widget. If you have the choice to buy a widget for $10 or buy a widget for $1 which is the better deal? Most would go right to the $1 widget without a thought. Of course the key part ot that sentence is “without a thought”. What if you end up replacing that cheap $1 widget every week. But the person who bought the $10 version of the widget has to replace it once a year? Who saves more money? What is the better deal?
Almost always the cheaper price is a rip off! Look for quality instead.
