Im stingy but it comes with a belief that cheap doesnt equate poor quality. Like why would I buy expensive branded bag if I could get something similar from Local shop around neighborhood. How bout u?

It's really great if we can both have the low cost goods with high quality. For me, it really matters.

Agree... Also, like what others said not all with high cost have good quality either, it's just low quality items are usually/normally associated with a low price.

i have found that expensive or brand name goods don't necessarily mean they are well made either. i have bought designer goods in the past only to have them fall apart quickly. i tend to go for good and sturdy workmanship over brand name or price.

You are right. Sometimes you'll just feel cheated if ever you bought designer goods that is so expensive only to find out that it will not last as you've expected. It is better to be wise on things that we really need instead of buying unnecessary goods that will not serve it's purpose.

I usually shop around at various shops within the place before buying to compare prices to be sure that i won't regret. i also buy items during mall sales as you usually get a 30-50% discount from the regular prices.

Quality of the material is the one of the major factor which i looks when do shopping. We people never get a good product with a low price. For getting good quality product for our needs we must spend good money for it and i always tries to put some good amount money for shopping.

In the past i often thought the cheap things have poor quality,so i bought expensive goods,but i was cheated time and time again,and at last i found many expensive things were fake,some were rubbish!so i bought cheap things,and found many cheap goods have high quality,even better than the expensive ones,so i don't buy expensive things from then on.

Yes, I will still consider quality but I would not expect it because it is cheap. I just realized that there are a lot of cheap products that have good quality. for example, for make up. There are a lot of good quality make up brands that are cheap. i think the branded make up are just expensive because you buy the product for the name of it.
