I always believe on branding things. I like this post.
I stick to specific brands.. many of my friends try selling their unwanted brand name clothes on Ebay.
Great post with some top advice, I prefer certain brands so just buy them off ebay or second hand stores.
Excellent post, thank you. I chose a few brands, and now only buy them.
Living within our means tends to drive us toward the lower end of the purchasing scale, yet it is often the items that cost twice as much (or more) that will last five times longer. If only we had a crystal ball to know how long an item would last!
I agree Global Patriot. It’s so hard sometimes to decide if spending more money on a product is actually going to increase the life or will just cost you more money. Even if we do diligent research on a product, who’s to say that it doesn’t last as long as it is supposed to. Sometimes we have to make our best judgment and buy items that we think will last longer.
There are certain things that are cheaper for me to buy there (ie frozen food items, some cleaning supplies, spices and/or paper products). Other than that the packages are too large for me and I end up wasting product.
if you buy only things you use a lot of then you save a ton, but if for example you buy a huge thing of mayo and only use a tiny bit, then you waste the rest. it really all depends on what size family you have etc.
