Chose the $40 rice cooker over the $120 one and honestly it's fine

My old rice cooker finally died after like 8 years. Went to Target to grab a new one and stood there for 20 minutes comparing a basic $40 model against this fancy $120 one with like 15 settings and a steamer basket. Almost went for the expensive one cause I felt like a real adult should have nice kitchen stuff. But I remembered my mom's old one just had a cook and warm button and she made perfect rice every time. So I got the cheap one. Rice comes out great. No regrets. Has anyone else felt pressured to buy the expensive version of something just cause you're supposed to be grown up now?

The pressure to buy expensive stuff is just marketing making us feel like we're failing at adulthood if we don't. Your $40 cooker proves that simple tools do the job just as well as the fancy ones. Besides, nobody's taste buds care about how much you spent on the appliance that made their dinner.

Read somewhere that most people can't tell the difference in blind tests anyway.
