The cliche is “you get what you pay for.” This weekend as I was outside snowblowing I told myself that a) having a snowblower and b) spending a little extra for a higher quality snowblower is well worth it. You do, indeed, get what you pay for. Then, as I mindlessly went up-and-down the driveway, creating snow-line symmetry, I thought that’s all well and good, but what defies the cliche? In other words, what can you actually crimp a little on and still get something good? The first thing that popped into my head was wine. I’m not a huge wine drinker, but I do know that some $6.99 bottles taste GREAT! So what else? What other products defy the cliche?
Send me the list of 6.99 wine that tastes good.
Cereals! Rice Chex and the Stop and Shop brand tastes exactly the same for less money. Cheerios too. In fact, a lot of store brand foods are quite comparable to the name brands…
