Had to choose between a $15 hand grinder and a $300 electric one on the spot
I was at a garage sale last weekend and the guy selling both gave me 30 seconds to decide which one I wanted for half price. I grabbed the hand grinder thinking I'd save money, but now my arm is sore after every morning cup and I'm wondering if anyone else has made a similar cheap move they instantly regretted.

Oh man, I feel this. I grabbed a cheap hand grinder from a thrift store once and after a week my wrist was killing me. I ended up selling it on FB Marketplace for like $10. Then I saved up for a decent electric one and honestly it was worth every penny. Now I get my coffee done in like 15 seconds without any pain. Sometimes the cheap route just costs you more in the long run.

Got that sore arm feeling. I got a cheap hand grinder a couple years ago and it wore me out so bad I switched to a used electric one from Craigslist for $40. That arm thing doesn't go away, it just gets worse the longer you keep using it. You'd be better off selling that hand grinder online and putting the money toward a decent electric model.
