I feel like the mindset the author has is how they perceive the world. Things are purely utilitarian. They only serve a basic purpose so why spend more for "underwear" I had this mindset for a longtime, shirts are shirts, bacon is bacon. Why pay more when I can get the same thing at Walmart/Safeway on sale for hella cheap. Partly this came from growning up poor and also neurodivergent. Getting older and having enough money to try the "expensive stuff" I realized that food and products have differences. The differences are subjective, so everyones experience will be different. But the different experiences made me appreciate the care that some companies put into their products. (granted there are repacked huckster bullshit, but you find out real quick) Later life motto: "Just try it and be objective about how it makes you feel"
