I'm going to do the same with cage free eggs vs. regular eggs. A friend told me she only eats cage free and free range chicken because they offer more flavor. I know next month will be fun eating plenty of chicken. Imported tomatoes from Mexico are terrible. They have no texture and flavor which is why I pay $3/pound for the local beefsteak tomatoes.

The only one I would make an argument against is the college option. More expensive does not mean better in many instances. Unless it is Harvard, Stanford, Yale, other top tier college, the education you will get at Santa Clara University (expensive, private college) is not "better" that the education you will recieve at the cheaper option UC-Davis. Rather, what does need to be examined is whether or not you will be able to get thru in 4 years at a large UC school, where you are almost guaranteed to get thru in 4 years at Santa Clara. Cost of the 5th year could even out both schools. In general, I agree. The only one I would make an argument against is the college option. More expensive does not mean better in many instances.

However, I think the place most people scrimp on health is for check-ups. I try to be very diligent about my check-ups....2 times a year to the dentist for cleanings, an annual eye exam, and an annual physical exam with my doctor (the details of which depend on age and gender). I think a lot of people skip going to the doctor when they're healthy and only go in when they're sick...which is problematic....preventitive care is a lot cheaper!
