There are so many things in the world that can be replaced easily because of the price being cheap. Instead of helping you save a lot of money, they will eventually help you spend a lot more money in the future. So what are those things that you should never buy cheap? That is our topic for today. It is not bad to purchase an item that is not branded. When buying items, what do you usually check? Is it the price? Or is it the quality? Some of us will say the price while other will say the quality. Well if you ask me, I would say the quality. We will list all the things that you should never buy cheap. Let us now start off with our lists.
- Footwear – From shoes, sandals, boots for all season and slippers. We wear them every single day and this is one of the needs that every person need. Never go for the cheap ones for it might break easily and if your footwear is cheap, you will have no warranty on it. So why go for the cheap ones that break easily? Switch to branded ones as they may last up to how many years.
- Tools – Every household must have a tool because it will help you in so many ways. When it comes to fixing the littlest problem that may occur in your household. Why invest for cheap tools? Cheap tools break easily because it does not have the high quality materials that a tool might need. Having tools in your home will make your life so much easier.
- Keyboard – This is for our readers who work online at home and for the gamer who are reading right now. Working and playing at ease is all we ever want. But in order to achieve that, we must own a keyboard. Buying cheap keyboards will just cause you headache later on. Go for the pricey ones as they will give you the satisfaction that you want when you click on your keyboard.
- Kitchen Utensils – The favorite part of the entire house by our Mothers is the kitchen. Mothers love to cook meals to everyone! All mothers around the world trust the branded kitchen utensils as they are really worth the price. We all know it is expensive but they still purchase it. We won’t understand that unless we become mothers ourselves. My mom used to own an iron skillet that her great grandmother passed to her mom and then gave it to her. No wonder they spend a lot of money when it comes to buying everything that is in the kitchen.
- Mattresses – We sleep in the mattress! (In my case, I sometimes sleep in the couch!) Invest on the well-known brands that produce high quality mattresses. Be comfortable during your rest day and every time you rest. Hand me downs are also good! They will not give it to you if it is cheap. Invest on a pricey mattresses and it will probably last a lifetime if well taken care of.
- Bras – For women out there! Women use bra every single day. This is the number 1 most purchased item of all women. Buying cheap bras will be a waste of money because it will easily break and loosen. There are a lot of branded bras around the world but for me, the best brand of all is Hanes and La Senza. The bra is durable and has a good quality materials used.
- Brake Pads – For safety purposes, never ever invest on the cheap ones. We are all aware that the cheap brake pads easily shreds due to its low quality materials used. Buying an expensive one will take up to 10 years before you can change it.
- Dog Toys – For the love of dogs! We owners want the best for our fur babies and that includes buying them the best food, bed, vitamins, milk and toys. We treat them like our own child and giving them toys will make them the happiest dog alive in the whole world! Cheap dog toys will break easily compared to the branded ones. What I love about buying the branded ones is that the toys are durable and no matter how long they bite it, it will remain intact.
- Eye Contact Solution – There are people in the world who are not comfortable using eyeglasses that is why the alternative way is to wear contact lenses. Owning a pair of those will make you buy an eye contact solution and make sure to buy the ones the doctor recommended because if you buy a cheaper one, it might put your eyesight at risk because of the contact lenses that was washed by the cheap eye contact solution.
- Garbage Bags – Cheap garbage bags will easily rip off when you pull it towards the garbage bin. Do you want to pick up those fallen garbage afterwards? Of course not! You see garbage bags are supposedly made of high quality materials right? And you will never find that quality you are looking for when it comes to cheaper ones.
- Towels (Face towel, Bath towel) – We use this often that is why we need to invest on this small things. Towels come in different varieties of fabric and prices may vary but always go for the branded ones. Towels wear off because we use it every single day and there are some materials from towels that are not good for the skin. I recommend microfiber towels. It is skin friendly and it is good for sensitive skins especially for babies and for the one who has skin asthma.
- Underwear – Buying underwear has been part of our life since birth. We usually look for underwear that is durable and will not easily lose its threads. Investing to expensive underwear is totally worth it because the recommended lifespan of single underwear will take up to 5 years before the thread loose.
- Makeups – All women wear makeups. (Not all! I guess?) Women invest a lot of money when it comes to making them look good. In order to obtain that look that they always wanted, buy the branded ones. Branded make ups are known because they are proven and tested by many women around the globe. Our skin is sensitive and we don’t want to apply cheap products to our skin that might result to skin allergy and it could destroy your pretty fair skin.
- Facial Cleansers – Our face is the number 1 asset we have. All people will look at our faces and will compliment us eventually because of the beautiful, blemish free skin we have. To achieve that, we must buy a high quality facial cleanser for our face. Having a blemish free skin will make you stand out in the crowd. Buying cheap ones are a bit of scary! It might destroy your pretty face.
- Laundry Detergent and Fabric Conditioner – Cheap detergents won’t work at all when it comes to cleaning your clothes. Fabric conditioners that will not make your clothes smell good. Why invest on the cheap ones? When it comes to cleaning our clothes and making them comfortable to wear, we always use the trusted brand by many moms.
- Tires – Even if it’s for car and bicycles, never invest for the cheap ones. We use them for transportation and we want it to be safe for us to use them. Changing tires will depend on the thickness of the tire that you purchase. For cars, you don’t need to buy all four of them. If you have no budget, go for 2 tires then buy again the 2 tires if you already have a budget.
- Toothpaste – Our smile is our weapon and people smile often. In order to have that killer smile, we need to have a beautiful set of teeth! Buying toothpaste that is good for the teeth is hard to find. Fake advertisements are everywhere now and they always say that it will take good care of your teeth and protect it from cavity but apparently, they are not doing their job at all. Investing on high quality toothpaste is a must. Expensive ones are the best ones! There is a reason why they are sold on that price.
- Vacuum Cleaner – Vacuum cleaner is our best friend to keep the cleanliness at home. Having one of these babies will make cleaning easier than ever! Branded ones are known to last up to 10 years and that means they are really durable and will definitely deliver its main purpose and that is to make your house clean.
