I buy both cheap and expensive thing depending on needs, budget and quality, let's talk about it, why?
Hello people of this community. If I'm not mistaken this is my first time to post here. I hope you are all well and happy.
Buying is one of the many activities we are doing on our daily life. We buy something it is because either we need it or we want it.
For today's blog I will share to you why I buy both cheap and expensive thing through some examples:
Clothes
I buy cheap shirts from a thrift store because I can still find a lot of shirts that has a good quality, I am comfortable with and above all cheap. I also wants to buy a cheap shirts because there were times I am thin, and then gain weight after. So I can buy new sizes of shirts from a very low prize.
I bought this pre loved shirt from an ukay-ukay or thrift store for only 10.00 or $0.2. I love this shirt because I am comfortable wearing it. It becomes one of my favorite shirt. I bought this when I was still pregnant and my son is already 5 years old now.
On the other hand, I buy both cheap and expensive dress (church dress) with good quality. I can also buy good and nice dress from thrift stores.
I also buy some expensive dress with quality if I have enough budget for it. I just make sure to buy dress that will fit medium to xl so that if I gain weight or loss weight I can still wear it.
Undergarments
I buy brassieres and panties of a trusted and tested brand where I also felt comfortable wearing it. Some people said, why you buy expensive undergarments? People can't see that. I will answer, I never bought them to show people but I bought them because I love wearing it and I love the quality. It will serve me five or more years depending how you care for it.
When I was pregnant, I buy a few cheap panties because my tummy is big and I need a bigger size. I decided to buy a cheap one because I know I can't use them after giving birth.
Umbrella
I buy less expensive but with quality umbrella. Since I am still single, I always buy umbrella from a tested brand, I know they will last longer with proper care.
Look at this umbrella, can you find a date? I have this practice to some of my things that I put the date when I purchased or started using it. It made me amazed knowing how old they were.
This umbrella has a more than triple price compared to the usual umbrella you can buy from the market but this umbrella will last atleast five times longer when being cared properly.
As you can see in the picture, you can find the numbers 111319 which means this umbrella was purchased last November 13, 2019. It means that this umbrella serves me for more than three years and I can say that it is still good.
I also put purchased date to our washing machine, rice cooker, blender and other things but some were erased after a long period of using.
Here's a mosquito swatter, we bought this with a double price compared to other mosquito swatter we found in the mall but quality is being tested. Look at the date, we are using this for one year and three months.
I think that's enough for an example. I do buy both cheap and expensive things depending on needs, budget and quality.
Lets us also remember that NOT ALL EXPENSIVE ARE WITH QUALITY and NOT ALL CHEAP ARE WITHOUT QUALITY because you can also buy cheap with quality and expensive but without quality. Be wise on buying things, check the quality and with reasonable prices.
