Buy once cry once. Also knowingly uying slave labor is not my thing, i buy USA if at all possible. Sometimes not possible, but the less we buy the less there will be ti buy.
I also like to buy best quality if i can, and have less problems. Do it once right.
My wife and I were given a,set of costly pots and pans 35 years ago, still A-OK.
She must have $4000 on All-Clad and we got some recenty.
Ever had to pull and pull again a cheap part because of a leak? Makes me want to run over it with a tank. Dont even get me strarted on crappy trans, or oil pans that dont fit and or don't seal to have it leak or any other part.
