I'm not a big fan of name

Submitted by Guest on October 31, 2007 - 19:22.

I'm not a big fan of name brand items either except for a few things.

But I've noticed with Sunglasses, Jackets and Shoes I like to buy name brand. Why? I actually spend less. One name brand pair of sunglasses and I treat them nicely, knowing they were expensive. Jackets I will wear for a long time, and shoes, less is better! I've noticed non-running shoes last a looong time. I'd rather have a few brand name pairs than a dozen cheap ones like I used to.

I tend to treat things better knowing how much I spent on them, how much I like them and that it would not be easy to replace them.
