Is there anything that you won't settle for second best when it comes to buying a product?

For example, I won't buy cheap hand or electric tools. I also won't buy cheap clothes! My wife can't buy cheaper makeup, I guess it irritates her skin and cheap earrings will infect her ears. What are some things that you won't settle on second best?

I don't have to buy the most expensive product of that category (whether it's clothes, food, appliances). But I also won't settle for finding the cheapest with lower quality. I prefer to have fewer things of good quality, than to shop often and collect junk.

Like your wife, I have similar sensitivity about cosmetics or jewelry. My skin would know if it's 'fake gold'.
