Cheap or expensive when shopping?

I choose only cheap things. Mostly it is because I have no money, but there is some other points because I choose to shop in cheap shops. For example, secondhand shops - there I can find clothes which hasn't no one in my city. I will never meet other person with the same dress or coat. I don't know why, but secondhand clothes are in better quality than in expensive shops. They are more well tailored and durable. About shoes - there is no difference to buy shoes for 50$ or for 10$ - they both will serve for similar time. I think that people who buy expensive things from some famous brands, do that only to show that they are more richer than others. Maybe I'm not right, but I believe that some part of true in my viewpoint I have.

I prefer quality. I usually rather pay much money on a thing that has good quality, and it`s expensive, than on a thing that has a bad quality, but is cheap. But sometimes i buy things that are cheap, because sometimes, some things have good quality, so it`s a good investment, to buy good things, at a low price.

I try different products and then decide. If I like the store brand and it is cheaper then I will buy it. If the store brand is terrible then I don't buy it. With groceries some of the store brand stuff tastes better. I like the store brand pork chop coating better then the name brand. I won't buy Kraft shreadded cheese anymore because I have opened new bags with mold in them. For clothing once I find a jean I like I stick with it. I do wear levis but only because they are really comfertable and I buy them when they are on sale. Tops don't care what brand it is as long as it is comfertable and long enough. I am not one to buy a certin brand of shoe either. For a long time I did buy a lot of MUDD shoes but only because I really liked the way they fit and looked, they have now changed so I don't buy them anymore. My husband is a sucker for new items though and if he sees a comerical about something new he usually has to try it. I will pay a little extra for something if I know that it will last a while and has worked for me in the past.
