Quality is the most important aspect. Saving is of course great, but if you buy cheap without regard for quality, then you actually end up spending more to replace faulty items. Buying quality items, with careful consideration is definitley the best way to go. Great question, Brad. :) I have to agree with Dave above… Quality is the most important aspect.

Quality will last and outshine in the end and the value will be there each time the product or sevice is needed. I look for quality first and then if the quality is worth the cost.

There is not much savings in buying something cheaply and having to replace it more often than if you put your money into something of greater quality. Not that isn't to say I don't wait for sales and apply coupons, gift cards etc. Never pay retail for anything. Quaility.

I don't want to sacrifice quality either, but I think usually if you're a good bargain hunter, you can get both! I think in general I go for savings.

I find exactly what I want and shop for the best price I can find. Usually it is online but I will also find local coupons or subscribe to websites that track local deals.

Not to single out brands (ok, maybe a bit), but a certain store starting with J has, in my opinion, gone downhill in quality. That store frequently discounts the following items...but would you pay $20 (or $10? $5?) for these items: tissue thin t-shirts that rip and are totally see through, thin pants that come apart after the seams after a single wash, dress shirts that are "fashionably" wrinkled. No thanks. Used to be savings but now the most important is QUALITY. Not to single out brands (ok, maybe a bit), but a certain store starting with J has, in my opinion, gone downhill in quality.

I don't think I want to spend any of my money on junk just to get a deal...that's not much of a deal to me! Marshall's, TJ Maxx and Ross Dress for Less are already some of my favs as far as shopping for quality items for less money...good bargains. I don't shop as much as I used to, but when I need a gift or clothes or something unique...these are places I tend to check out first!!! Brad, you are such a Santa!!!!

I won't pay exorbitant prices for quality, but neither will I take advantage of huge savings on a product that is of poor quality. I like to get great savings on quality products.

I used to say cost and that does factor in, but with my minimalist lifestyle, I buy a few quality items and let the disposable EVERYTHING that society sells sit on the shelf for someone else at Target.

I never pay retail for anything. Groceries? They have to be on sale, preferably loss leaders. Clothes? I particularly like sales of an extra 50%+ off the clearance price. Gadgets and gizmos? I search the sale ads each Sunday to see how low of a sale price I can get on any particular item I need. Savings! I never pay retail for anything. Groceries?

I have 3 dresses in my closet per season, why? Because a quality item is going to last you a LONG time. Many of the clothing items I have are classic, and will last for years. Especially considering my day to day outfit is usually jeans and a decent shirt. I would say a close tie for second would be savings and shopping experience. I have always been a bargain hunter, and never buy anything at full price and usually get steep discounts. But I also can not stand rude salespeople, understaffed stores, and unpleasant lighting in the dressing room. (maybe this comes with age?) Can I say all three? QUALITY!!!!!!
