I spend eons shopping for things, and it's not a mistake. The trick is, there's a third option: I don't buy most things I want to buy. I have my criteria, and I won't purchase something I don't want. I'll look again in a month or so. This is an incredibly effective way to save money. But, obviously, it doesn't work when you really need something -- then, I try to tally points for and against, and accept that I'll be dissatisfied.
- someweirdperson 4y agoNot buying one of two equally bad choices is the best choice. My strategy for buying when something is really needed (or just really wanted): Do not choose from the similar options. If there's almost equal items at almost the same price, those are usually low-end quality. At the higher end things are usually more distinguishable, and usually more satisfying, too.
