Most people don't realize that they spend hundreds or even thousands of
dollars a year buying name brand products in the grocery store. There is
nothing in the grocery store that is rocket science. Many of the less
advertised brands, generic or store brands are just as good or better as
the name brands. You are paying for the brainwashing that many name brand
products put in their advertising campaigns. It is not difficult to make
shampoos, conditioners, cleaning products and all those other products that
can be found in your local grocery or department store. Why are you paying
4+ dollars for baby shampoo when you can buy the store brand or less
advertised brand for half the money? Do you like wasting money? If the name
brand products are better why would companies be spending billions of
dollars in advertising? The answer is that they are not better. They are
trying to convince you that the high price they are charging is some how
justified by a better product. Some companies will charge an extra large
amount for a product trying to imply if it has a high price it is better.
Studies have shown that many times the most expensive product is the worst
product or has no better performance than most of the median priced
products. Even over the counter drugs like aspirin can be bought for half
the price of the named brands. This is a product that has been around for
decades. The generic companies are under the same FDA regulations as the
name brand. Save a lot of money and don't buy the over priced name brands.
