I PERSONALLY don't often look back on a purchase and think 'I should have bought the cheaper one', but regretably when 'saving a few dollars', I DO often think "I should have just spent the extra money and gotten the nicer one". You have to know yourself and where your balance of quality vs. price lies. Sometimes that takes a little explanation of why certain things cost a bit more so people understand why things cost what they do.
This point has been made over and over on this forum. For a long time there was very little in the way of dress clothing I could buy "off the peg", due to my height and weight (actually the absence of it! 6'-5+" tall, 145-155 lbs.) I learned to do with fewer items of clothing, but get the best quality I could for the price.

Perhaps, out of habit, I still do so. I never regretted paying for made-to-measure. Whenever I tried to go "cheap" I would get something that would "almost" fit, and end up sending it to the Salvation Army thrift shop in short order.

Personally, I would prefer to have a pair of quality, plain colour kilt hose, than a cheaper argyle style version that was not "quite right".

Just my tuppence worth here.
