When is the "deal of the century", a losing proposition ?

First off. lets be honest. I, as well as most people, have made or make decisions based on price alone. Sometimes though, we inevitably find out, we get what we pay for. Lets take a scenario of having to buy paper towels. Most, more then likely, will go for the cheaper towel. Some of us understand, you pay cheap ,you get cheap, and the rest just dont care. With paper towels, whats the liability ? It falls apart after its first task , it absorbs less. you get one ply instead of two? In my experience, most people including me dont obsess over small ticket, easily termed generic items. But big tickets , brand and task specific items, are a whole other ball game. We read reviews, look at graphs, pull out charts, and make quantitative comparisons based on all kind of specifications. If its a service, we want references, methods of operation, Appropriate licenses, certification, and Insurances.

We make mistakes . Sometimes what seems to be a simple and generic task, involves and can possibly endanger very specific and expensive possessions-our homes buildings, property, of which protection of such items are more complex than we first thought.

We can not choose by price alone all the time, doing so is a losing proposition. Let's Take a power washing job, a subject I know very well.
