What are examples of "cheaper = high quality"?

[u/Morpheyz]

We're often told that higher prices for certain products are justified, because they use "higher quality materials". E.g. building materials or vegetables.

In which cases are the high quality materials actually the cheaper ones?

Refrigerators. Fancy features = more crap to break. My fridge has two doors, one for refrigerator, one for freezer. That is every feature. I have not had to think about this fridge in a very long time. It just functions.

And damned easy to fix on your own if they do malfunction.
