I'm not sure I necessarily see this as a bad thing. I'm happy to be able to buy the absolute cheapest version of stuff I don't really care about so that I can h

  If you don’t care for something then why even buy it? If you need something inferior quality will have an effect on your life. There are some things where quality differences are imperceptible though like sugar.

    in general I try not to accumulate a lot of stuff, so as much as possible I try to just not buy the thing at all if I don't really need it. most of the stuff that I would theoretically buy the cheap version of I actually get for free from roommates moving out. one good example is furniture. I don't care about furniture, but I do need a bed, a couch, etc., so I just buy the cheapest reasonable pieces I can find at walmart or ikea. there's a good chance I might move far away in the next few years. when/if that happens, I'll just sell or give away all my current furniture and buy new shitty versions wherever I end up. I'll probably recoup a lot of the money by renting a smaller uhaul and not having to pay professional movers.
