I find the cheapest thing and go up a few percentage points (5-10%) and buy that instead... you have to remember a corner or two were cut on the way to the cheapest thing. Buying the most expensive stuff is often not worth it.

Pretty similar to my strategy. I buy 4 star items because compared to 5 star items, they're typically 80+% of the quality at 50% of the price.
