Saving is a habit. Every one should get this habit from his childhood. Like what is the difference between buying $1 and $10 of pens? The pen serves the same function. The differences are their design and manufactures. Why should we waste $9 to buy a pen? Some one could probably say they like it or may think the higher price of the pen ,the better it is. I don't think so.
Like in our local commercial ads,
"Why buy expensive one if those with smaller price can give you same result like the expensive brand can"
Im talking about detergent soap lol.
Part of saving money is wise buying. We must prioritize the quality of the product when buying. If we found some quality things that can do the same as branded one then definitely be practical.
