The only time I will pay "more" for brands is if I am at an outlet mall. I usually only get my clothes from outlet malls because you can get brand name clothes at a cheap price. Whenever I go to a Pac-Sun Outlet their shirts are usually at $10 each when they are usually $25 each at the regular store! Calvin Klein outlets always have great prices as well.
When it comes to shoes I am a spendaholic. I like shoes and I like sports shoes as well. I have spent thousands of dollars on footwear (not that I am proud of it), I have spent thousands on shoes and and athletic footwear. Just last month I dropped $350 last month just on shoes, I think I have a problem of some sort. Now clothes are another thing, I have a pair of jeans I spent 300$ on and my wife chewed me out for it as well. I will not however, spend astronomical money on electronics, because electronics will always cost more.
None. If I can find a cheaper product then I will take it. In this day and age where the economy is uncertain, inflation is running rampant and the cost of living is soaring, why would I bother paying more for the same product but under a different name? Go to Lands' End, they have amazing clothes for half the price that stores are charging. It's even cheaper than Wal-Mart!
That's definitely a good attitude, haha! The only problem is that sometimes the cheaper product is just as good, and sometimes the cheaper product is not as good.
I like to purchase branded clothes but I don't think that for branded clothes we have to pay more. I am always searching for new coupons and deals on web for purchasing branded products at affordable rates. Each and every day I get the great offers and deals on branded product.
Most of the brands I like are expensive, unfortunately. I try to keep my eyes open during the sales and buy at 50% to 70% discount. Most of the clothes are overpriced, even if they are good quality. I'm prepared to pay more for better quality clothing but I'm not prepared to be ripped off.
I usually would pay attention to the brand only if this is a brand that I have loved clothing from before. Therefore this is how I usually buy and choose whether it is clothing or skincare or anything else. I love having a history with a brand because I tend to get attached to certain brands that have worked well for me in the past.
