Been proven that some designer stuff is no better quality than cheaper supermarket stuff.It’s sad as the kid will grow up with the same impression that it has to be a name. With tech it’s certainly ‘you get what you pay for’ most of the time and certainly regretted some cheaper tech buys. Maybe it’s an age thing when you know the value of money?
Never ever had any fake stuff and I know that to be a fact because I have never ever bought any designer stuff.Have no issue with buying clothes from Tesco or ASDA. When we found out we were going to have a baby we spent about £500 - £600 on baby clothes, turned out she only ever wore George baby grows and the odd dress for a special occasion so ended up having about £400 of it still in her wardrobe with tags on. Some of the stuff at ASDA is actually decent, hard wearing stuff and lasts a while.
With food there's certain brands we get, mainly because it tastes nicer but have no issue with buying an own brand if it tastes just as good either. I'm not going to spend £5 on something I can get for £2 that tastes the same and nobody would even notice when the box goes in the bin anyway.
Thankfully my daughter isn't at the age yet where brands matter too much and she has learnt to appreciate things that are expensive. She will have a pair of boots like Ugg boots from somewhere for £15 that she can wear every day and doss about in but then a pair of proper Ugg Boots that she knows she has to look after a lot more and be careful before she jumps in a puddle.
One thing that annoys me is fake stuff, lately its the EA7 jackets. I am quite happy to wear a jacket from TK Maxx without a name on that's cost me £30 if it is comfortable and looks half decent, I'd feel a bit of a twat strolling round in a jacket that was fake but giving it loads like I had paid hundreds for it. If I saw a designer jacket I really liked then I'd get it regardless of the name, but nowadays I usually see the price and think about what that could get me in other stuff
Yup, can well believe it.My older son who is fussy would only eat Kellogg’s Frosties so I bought one box which he ate and then got supermarket own brand ones and put them in the Frosties box after about two months of eating them they didn’t have any of the cheap ones at the supermarket so I bought the expensive ones and he said these are different not as nice as the normal ones
Not sure you can blame Asda for you having the wrong shaped body, Wingy.Supermarket clothes would be OK If they ever fitted .
Everything Seems to be cut for the on the generous for American market .Not sure you can blame Asda for you having the wrong shaped body, Wingy.
Not keen on Heinz baked beans. I love baked beans, but think Heinz are the worst.The only brand I tend to go for is Heinz. I really notice cheapo beans and sauce. Other than that I'll have whatever is cheapest. I certainly prefer the taste of cheap pop over the expensive stuff.
Totally agree.When people spend loads on designer clothes that have a logo plastered all over them it looks way more cheap and tacky than pretty much anything you would be in a supermarket.

Nope.
Just wish you have quoted an honest paper.
I find with anything Daily Mail story wise, I have to have a look elsewhere to confirm if it is true or not.
Been cases of designer companies using slave labour too.How pathetic. Anyway I’ve posted another link and anyone with half a brain knows of you buy that cheap you are endorsing slave labour and poverty.
Does she then charge 25p an hour for that too?The same will be happening in the designer clothes factories they just make more money to pay celebrities to wear the clothes.
Also if we stop buying them then she gets 0p per hour so she will find it more difficult and then the charities will arrive to “save her” or just turn her to prostitution

What brand of kids school uniform is there?
We have bought John Lewis school shirts, Debenhams and ones from the school shop but to be fair George ones lasted longer.
I'm with Grendel on this one.
Prices like that are a distortion and we'd hate to be exploited to that level.
All it does is mask issues in our own economy, where do our savings go by purchasing this cheaper stuff ,a few more bevvies at night, a second holiday, inflate the property market.
This is the Issue of globalisation or indeed free movement it does nothing to improve peoples lot.
I agree. The issue is some can't really afford to pay the more expensive prices, so it ends up a danger of becoming the middle classes and above who can afford to be ethical.if you buy that cheap you are endorsing slave labour and poverty.
