Have you “cheaped out” during the recession?
Question:
Since the recession has started (or rather, since you have felt it in your own wallet) have you been purchasing items that are cheaper than what you normally purchase that may have the same use?
Answer:
In a short answer, yes. I have been buying makeup that isn’t as “name brand” as usual. While my friend has a collection of MAC that is growing, I am using NYX and other drugstore makeup brands. I am also extending the savings onto grocery products. I have been trying more and more “Great Value” products from Wal-Mart. They really aren’t that bad. Of course, I have said over and over that my favorite generic is the Kroger brands. The Kroger Spaghetti sauce is my favorite…it’s better than any of the national brands in my opinion and 50 cents cheaper on average.
