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.

Exactly. Something of this reminds me of Apple and Samsung. If you were to choose between price and quality, I think the best choice would be Samsung smartphones, since compared to Apple's iPhone, it is much more cheaper and you will get around the same quality as an expensive one. (if I'm correct) This can also be applied to other products that you will want to buy. Like for example, when choosing to buy a car, you have a choice between luxury (expensive) cars (with brands like Mercedez Benz, Audi, or Ferrari) or normal cars such as Toyota, Suzuki, Nissan, etc. Just my opinion.

Good example about Apple and Android phones. Here in our country if you have an Iphone, users feel they are advantages than those who doesn't have but my low budget Android can do more than their Iphone lol. Apple is not an open source so developers are not that present unlike Android that has many developers but in case of security Apple is better. But hey security? The owners itself is the great tool of their gadgets security and not by the brand name. Im not against the Apple products it's just that Im practical because if those low budget can do what Iphone can do then I go for the low budget but the specs is quite interesting. Im an Android enthusiast too so I can place tweaks in my smartphone.

Being practical is a good practice when saving your money.

It's all a mental game... a matter of status. Sure iPhone may sometimes have a big higher quality of aesthetic materials, but ultimately a phone is a phone, and Android can do everything iPhone does and more. It's just the fact your phone has a drawing of an Apple on it that makes it special for some people.
