Comparison of roof tarps taught me a $300 lesson last spring

After a storm tore shingles off my garage in Toledo, I grabbed the cheap blue tarp from the big box store and it shredded within two weeks. My neighbor lent me a woven poly tarp with reinforced edges that cost about $45, and it held through three more downpours without a single tear. The cheap one saved me $20 upfront but cost me a wet ceiling and a moldy drywall patch that ran $280 to replace. Has anyone else paid the difference between bargain and mid-grade materials when they were in a hurry?
