This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

I once saw a question that I thought would stop everyone bitching at me relentlessly,
but it only had mileage enough for two days, so I had to keep my old one going for an extra 5 days to cover the difference.

Everyone bitched at me even more than usual.

That's a good point.
Are they going to stop this one Thursday? Or (god help us), keep it going until 3rd July or longer?

We're through the looking glass here,
So who knows what could happen!?
Maybe we're preparing for some special transatlantic 4th July celebration.
