Can someone please plan an essay on the topic: Just because something is cheap, doesn’t make a good deal, discuss

Cheap products are often made of lower quality materials which don’t hold up to repeated uses. Here is a real life example for you. We live on a farm, we use buckets for all sorts of things, to feed/water animals, to carry tools, to store feed or medicines for the animals. Buckets can be purchased many places, a great compare and contrast of cost and quality would be to look at a bucket from a dollar store and a bucket from a farm store. They both serve the same purpose essentially however the bucket from the farm store is much more expensive we’ll say $10 but is made of much thicker material and will withstand much more force, pressure and abuse than a thin $2 cheap bucket I could buy from a dollar store. If I had to buy 5 of the cheap buckets to continue to replace the 1 more expensive bucket, I would’ve been better off to just spend that $10 one time to have a quality tool.
