There’s a certain stigma to the word “budget” when it’s used to describe products or services. The term means, literally, “inexpensive” and absolutely nothing more; yet consumers have long associated it with “inferior quality.” To take that mindset is to make the false assumptions that market prices are defined by quality only and not supply, demand and hype.
