How cheap is ruining our way of life
I checked out the price and thought, this is outrageous. This really is far, way too little to pay. The manages had come Thursday via one of the bargain blogs I regularly peruse, the observe that Old Navy was practically giving away camisoles for $2. Minutes later,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this news broke that Amazon was launching a , well under half its original cost. Why does this information, instead of making me wish to go out and burn up some plastic, fill me with dread? It not that I enjoy paying more,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it simply that shouldn some things like sushi, home theatre systems and brand-new clothes be valued more?
Our collective mania for low, low prices has been frothing for a long time now, fueled by morally dubious manufacturing practices, aggressive marketing and a crap economy. But as Stephanie Zacharek stated last year regarding Ellen Ruppel The cost of Discount Culture,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], those bargains come at a price to workers here and abroad, towards the environment, and to our own increasingly superficial relationship with our possessions. As your mom accustomed to say, for this reason we are able to have nice things.
I no stranger to the allure of rock-bottom prices. My usual response to a compliment on my small dress would be to proudly blurt how much I paid for it. So why not get out there and get that $2 camisole? It Friday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in the end. I could go out tonight, drip grease from the Taco Bell $2 Meal Deal throughout it with abandon, rip it off later within the throes of Gordita Supreme-induced passion, throw the damn thing away,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and merely toss on the brand-new $2 cami each morning. OK, that actually does sound like a pretty awesome $6 kickoff to the weekend, however it could be good. Who made that $2 shirt? And what the hell adopts a $2 meal puppy blood and child labor?
It not as if too many of us are living too big these days. And it tough to stave off a big fat eye roll when some more-prosperous-than-thou acquaintance discusses buying only organic and getting those piece garments when your own lifestyle is long on shabby, short on chic. I pay too much for housing,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], movie tickets and prescription medications. But paying not enough for an umbrella that falls apart after one windy outing doesn mitigate that. It only adds up to a hundred dollar a year umbrella habit. (Oh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and doesn the shop that sells them just realize it?)
I recently watched the pair of sunglasses I bought by having an H store credit crack in two in my hands. I have to have roughed them up wearing them my face too hard. They were fourteen days old. Earlier this year, my loved ones replaced the falling-off-the-wall IKEA kitchen cabinets that were brand-new when we moved into our home four years ago. I go through printers faster than I do ink. And by time my iPhone was 2 years old, it appeared as if a rotary alongside what everyone else around was carrying around. It was cracked and dented, but it worked. I got a new one when it had been stolen. It sucks.
There needs to be a middle way. I just want the price of a product to be a reasonable reflection of the effort that went into its creation and also the use I will get out of it. I have a wardrobe cobbled together off the clearance rack of TJ Maxx, a home furnished in no small spend stuff picked off the curb and a fridge filled with stuff bought on weekly special. It not quite to the land living,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it gives my family an intermittent fighting shot at somewhat more durable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], satisfying goods. It harder to do semi-right with home items especially when I can customize the coffee machine for under the buying price of replacing its broken carafe. It harder still if you like me this will let you flair for staining and/or shattering all you touch. The temptation of bother? is excellent.
However i tired of throwing junk away. Fed up with feeling such as the expiration date on my small clothes and toasters gets shorter and shorter every time I replace something. Even though I know that spending $7,000 on a Viking range is a not-going-to-happen-in-my-lifetime experience,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I sure I don want to spend $268 on a single from Sears which i need to throw out the coming year. Not everything must be a Buddhist-level lesson within the transience of life and the need for non-attachment, a cue for a I bought this! This winter I got myself a mid-century steel tanker desk for around the price of a replacement from Staples. Everything on top of it is under 5 years old. It damaged and a little ugly. And someday, I giving it to my daughter.
