Lets face it most people reading this aren't millionaires. Everybody likes a good deal and we all look for ways to save a few bucks here and there. The old adage
You get what you pay for! has held true for most of the purchases in my life. $20 jeans wear out faster than $60 jeans, $400 rims look like shit and are unsafe, and booze that comes in a plastic bottle will taste like rubbing alcohol and will give you a hangover for days. Most recently I learned my lesson when I bought a $5 citrus press instead of the wonderful $20 OXO press.

No the green one isn't supposed to be in two pieces.
Wouldnt you know the shitty press broke on the third lime, almost taking the tip of my middle finger with it. Cursing in pain at my complete stupidity I began juicing the 40 limes and lemons by hand... Fuck that. I ran out and bought myself a real tool. Lesson learned.
If you should take anything from this rant it should be the following points:
- You get what you pay for, Garbage in garbage out, yadda yadda yadda
- OXO makes affordable kitchen tools that I have found to work well
- If you are making a cocktail with citrus in it squeeze your own juice (See bullet point 1)
