The day I picked a cheap set of pans over the fancy ones

Three years ago I was staring at two options at Target: a $60 set of nonstick pans and a $180 set that looked way cooler. I went with the cheap ones cause I had just moved into a studio in Denver and money was tight. Those pans held up fine for about 18 months then the coating started peeling so I replaced them with mid-range ones for $90. Now I'm wondering if I should've just spent more upfront, what's your rule on kitchen gear vs. saving money?

Oh man, my friend Sarah did the exact same thing with a coffee maker. She bought the $30 one and it broke in like a year, then she got a $50 one that's still going strong. It's like you gotta find that sweet spot between cheap garbage and overpriced stuff.
