They're $0.57 each and I have to replace 14 of them. I see some "deluxe" models that are like $3 apiece but I really don't want to spend the money on them.
I'm doing fine using the cheap basic ones, right?

Maybe put the cheap ones on the outlets you rarely use and the better ones in the areas you'd use more often?

Id go with the cheap ones.

Yeah, it's just electricity, what could go wrong?

frick buying new ones...just throw your main breaker then strip all of your plugs wires bare...put alligator clips on all of your appliances and just clip them to the bare wire.

Dude, it's Walmart. Even the deluxe ones are cheap pieces of shite.

I personally would get the $3. Seems like I always find a way to buy the most expensive things

Yeah, I don't see what could possibly go wrong with getting cheap electrical components.

Do you have a defibrillator? If not, I think Walmart sells them.
Seriously, don't buy your outlets at WallyWorld, go to an electrical supply outlet. More money, but worth not getting smoked plugging in your fry daddy.

My first question would be
.......why are you having to replace 14 outlets?

Dude, don't go cheap. Go to Lowes and get the ones they have. They aren't that much more $ and you don't want your house to burn down do you dipstick?

Pretty sure those are made from the ground-up bones of Chinese political prisoners, so you know they are good stuff.
