Hello Catherine,
Yes I truly understand you, but when it comes to food yes sure I understand you buy the brand for your kids its best be safe and sure. But clothing and material products like phones, shoes etc brand name products. No, I wouldn’t want when I can just buy a good unbranded shoes at a affordable price. I’m not going to buy a new iPhone for ÂŁ750 to ÂŁ1000 when I can buy a good phone that do the same thing or even much better then the new iPhone for at least ÂŁ70 or ÂŁ150 saving myself money. Brand name is what makes people poor.
Yes it really is and things like clothes I don’t even think the brand names are better quality a lot of the time the cheaper version does the exact job! I also thrift what I can from local groups like toys as the plastic waste is ridiculous and they are usually new when they are given away.
