I make a lot of smoothies and shakes with ice cubes, and finally bought a heavy duty Kitchenaid Blender after the last cheap blender burned up. When buying computer printers, I consider the price of the ink; over time, it will far surpass the printer's purchase price. I also take into account how an item depreciates in value over time. Electronics, computers, etc. lose value quickly, so I usually hover behind the curve on the latest and greatest technology. Excellent advice that should apply to MOST purchases, in my opinion.
