I prefer the Costco solution 90% of the time. If and when the Costco solution does not work, then I do the research to figure out what might be better.

For example, I like to wear $30 Costco shoes. I can usually get at least a year out of them, but even if not, they’re only $30. I can buy 3 in a year and come out ahead. And I don’t waste time researching shoes.
