has anyone regretted trying to save money on a home project?
i am dealing with this right now on a couple of things around the house. every time I start looking into a project, there is always a cheaper option that seems "good enough" and a more expensive option that people swear is worth it.
in the past, i've gone with the cheaper route a few times and sometimes it worked out fine, but other times i ended up spending more later because i had to redo it.
curious what other people's experiences have been. was there a project where you wish you'd spent a little more from the start, or one where the budget option ended up being the right call?
