Good morning .
I have something to say, about Aloe vera, something about which you wrote above, about health and skin care… For a long time, I and my nice friend use the products of the flp company. We always see the nice results and also we make money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with Aloe Vera in the company of Forever Living Products has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the flp company and has a wife and three children). I know aloevera products for health for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the forever living company.
Of course, the job is some difficult, but in no other case, You can earn so much much money with so much fun and smiling faces around..
So if you want to discuss something about which you wrote above, and about my experience with aloevera products for health, I’ll always be glad to talk.

Best regards from Washington and have a nice day!
Andrew – Aloe Vera Distributor

Ones who used to do shopping often being trapped by “cheapest”, “cheap”, “sale”, or “discount” promotion, lead them to buy something which is not really needed actually.

Just wanna add brief info, that such promotion usually done for consumer good products, and retailer’s price is used to be > 500% of factory’s price, even > 1000% for well branded ones. So, we can guess what’s the meaning of “50% sale” or “40% discount”.

Thanks for this good post …

Hi JT! I just had to add my 2 cents here. We have been on a tough road this past couple of years and I have had a hard time staying “frugal”, but your words here reminded me of just this past week when we needed some new ink cartridges for our ink jet printer. It’s one of those printers that take 6 different cartridges and won’t work if even one is empty. We were low on 4 different colors, so instead of spending in excess of $70.00 for them, we decided to go to one of those places that sell refurbished and refilled ones. HAH! NONE of them worked, it cost us $54.00 for them AND because we had put them in our printer, which punched a hole in them to utilize the ink, we could not return them. So now, instead of saving $15.00, we have to spend another $70.00 to get the real thing! Will I never learn? Thanks for the great and right on post!

I also had the same concern over these store brands. Before, I convinced my mom to buy a store brand dishwashing gel but when we used it, it didn’t produce bubbles. I feel like washing the dishes with a ‘real’ gel haha…that’s lesson learned for us.

This is an insightful post. Have a great day!

I guess they chose a cheap sign writer too, one who can’t spell.

Yeah,I agree with you.That’s why I usually avail of sale events so I can buy high-quality brands at much lower prices.As to grocery items,I know where to buy what.When it comes to toothpaste,I’ve tried cheaper brands just to see if they were effective but my hubby ended up with a tooth decay.We buy only Colgate ever since.
