盘点那些得不偿失的省钱习惯

He suggests doing your research before you buy big ticket items especially and make sure you're getting a quality product — it's definitely worth the extra money as you won’t have to replace the item anytime soon. This isn't to say that you can't buy the cheapest of anything, Bakke adds, rather it's important to know when it's okay to do so.

他建议，特别是在购买大额物品之前要先做好研究，并确保自己买的是一件优质产品──多花的钱绝对值得，因为你不需要很快就替换。巴克说，这并不是说任何东西都不能购买最便宜的，而是说一定要知道什么时候可以买最便宜的。

"It's OK to shop the dollar store for office supplies, for example, but when you're talking about a flat screen TV or a laptop, it pays to invest in quality," he says. "You don't have to get the most expensive product on the market, just don't go with the cheapest."

他说：“比如说，去一元店购买办公用品是没问题的，但如果是要买一台平板电视机或笔记本电脑，为高品质多花点钱是有好处的。你不一定要买市场上最贵的产品，只是不要去购买最便宜的。”
