Nothing Over $22 or Everything Over $200?

What is actually better? Are the expensive shops better than the cheaper shops?...In all cases?

There's this to die for gorgeous throw over top, that really just completes you. It is exactly your style, your colour, your everything. But it's $89 from the nice boutique store that looks although it is all thats happening. As you ponder over purchasing this fab piece of clothing for the same as your weekly rent share you peruse the other shops in the street. And fancy that! It's the same top from a nice cheaper store just down the road. It's only $20. Which one is better? Are the fabrics, stitchings and everything else of better quality when you buy from the boutique shop or is there mark up just greedy?

I don't know! But I go for the one that costs the same as lunch rather than rent.

The town i currently live in sucks on the shopping side, until a few months back where a new little store called 'Nothing Over $22' opened.
As an example of this, a friend of mine, who is extremely short on cash every week (without splashing out on anything - ever!) recently bought a necklace from a highly overpriced store for $150!!! really a necklace for one hundred and fifty dollars!! where are your brains! Without even looking at other stores around. Like two doors up is the nothing over $22 store that has practically the exact same necklace for i dono.. $22 or less. WOULD THAT NOT BE SMARTER? To purchase the cheap one from a nice store with everything the other store has for just a fraction of the cost.

People are silly with their money. They are stupid in fact.

But my thought is.. even if something is cheaper and possible not as good yet still does the job and you can't actually tell the difference at all what-so-ever why do people buy the expensive stuff? Is it just to brag and show off, are some people really that vain and deluded?

I'm glad I'm not like that as i can get my necklace and still afford cocktails with the girls after, rather than 2-minute noodles until next pay day.

Lots Of Love,
