Why would anyone pay 200 for flip flops? Skimping would be buying the 1.99 pair instead of the 10 pair. The 1.99 pair would likely blow out first day. The 10 pair would likely last the week, this of course is thinking the higher price is better materials. The point is to not just buy the cheapest available but to compare price/materials and workmanship.

Quality doesn't have to be expensive. You got a good deal.

Not talking luxury but cheap vs inexpensive. Cheap to me is poor quality material or workmanship. Inexpensive is good value. Skimping is going cheap. Like I'll buy a cheap shirt but I'll pay a higher price for decent shoes.

Exactly. I have shies that were originally 250 + a pair but are still comfortable, look great and have only needed minor repair. Shoes that I've bought for less fall apart within months.
