During one of Jeffrey’s earlier visits we bought a Black and Decker food processor from Target for about $50.  We used it during subsequent visits and within a a couple of weeks of his moving in and starting to use it on a more regular basis it broke.  After going online to find replacement parts I discovered reviews of this particular food processor were poor.  Plastic gears and parts that tended to break when used.  So soon we’re going out to buy a quality food processor that should last until we’re to old to cook.

Generally I know better than to buy based on price.  When I buy something I usually go for quality and pay more because it’s really cheaper that way.  A pair of Red Wing boots for $80 I purchased back in the 1980′s still are in good shape.  I just get them resoled periodically.  That’s how rich people stay rich, they buy shoes that last a lifetime and just resole them every few years.
