I don't understand what you're saying. The harm is that you're losing money. Even if you're a complete materialist/hedonist and happy with that, this makes sense for you. The money you save on tea can be spent on music, or massage, or sushi. Why wouldn't you want that?
It's also possible that you'll find you actually like the more expensive tea better, which is fine. Then you'll know it's money well spent.
If you really get enjoyment out of expensive stuff because it's expensive, I'd be happy to sell you some milk for $300 a gallon. Trust me, it's the best. I'll put a fancy label on it and everything.
- Derbasti 14y agoMost times I value my time higher than my money and hence skip the research and enjoy my tea. And don't care one bit if there is a cheaper brand of tea out there that would be of higher quality.
- nathan_long 14y agoOK, I totally agree about the time vs money tradeoff, but in my case I was taking extra time to special order something which 5 minutes' experimentation showed was unnecessary. Same could be said for an audiophile looking for perfect speakers instead of buying whatever is at the store.
