"buy twice" is one of those live advices I heard and adhere to since.
It's basically the optimistic interpretation of "buy cheap, buy twice":
When I consider getting into something I buy cheap first, the idea being that that is enough to get a feel ...
... then you buy the second time and don't cheap out. But this purchase is more informed and you really get to appreciate it more because you know the step up from the cheap thing.
And sometimes... maybe even most of the time... the cheap thing is just enough.
