Do you think expensive products are always better than cheaper ones?

I don't agree with them being always better than the cheaper ones, but more often than not they are just because of the amount of Labor that is spent into making a product.

× It definitely is being spent on myself care we.
✓ It definitely is being spent on self-care.
The phrase 'myself care we' is incorrect. The reflexive pronoun 'myself' should be used correctly as 'self-care' to indicate care directed towards oneself. Also, 'we' is unnecessary and incorrect here. The correct term is 'self-care', which is a noun referring to taking care of oneself.
× With actively reading news articles about a recession coming, I do.
✓ By actively reading news articles about a recession coming, I do.
The preposition 'with' is incorrectly used here. The correct preposition to indicate the means or method is 'by'. Therefore, 'By actively reading news articles about a recession coming, I do' is correct.
× I do regret a lot of the things I buy an I feel like I have the need to return.
✓ I do regret a lot of the things I buy and I feel like I have the need to return them.
The conjunction 'an' is a typo and should be 'and'. Also, the sentence lacks an object for 'return'. Adding 'them' clarifies that the items bought are what the speaker feels the need to return.
× I don't agree with them being always better than the cheaper ones, but more often than not they are just because of the amount of Labor that is spent into making a product.
✓ I don't agree with expensive products always being better than the cheaper ones, but more often than not they are, just because of the amount of labour that is spent in making a product.
The pronoun 'them' is vague; specifying 'expensive products' clarifies the subject. Also, 'spent into' is incorrect; the correct preposition is 'in'. Additionally, 'Labour' should be lowercase unless it is a proper noun.
× So I definitely value the expensive products a lot more also because of the supply being.
✓ So I definitely value the expensive products a lot more also because of their supply.
The phrase 'because of the supply being' is incomplete and incorrect. Adding 'their' clarifies possession, and removing 'being' completes the sentence properly.
