Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture by Ellen Ruppel Shell

2.0

A very interesting concept- things are cheap for a reason, plain and simple. We're so expected to cheapness that we don't even think we deserve quality things that are expensive. If we can get it cheap, even if we know it will break in 2 months, we'd rather cross that inevitable bridge in 2 months.

There are alot of really eye-opening statements in here... it's not a difficult read, and thank God it's not one of those "my year of living cheap" sort of books that I am SOOO tired of. I'd recommend it only if it's a topic of interest to you.
