What can't you accept by buying cheap substitutes at low prices?

In my mind, if it is because of my life, I think I can eat less, wear cheaper clothes, live less, take the bus or walk.

After all, eating is too good, people are prone to get rich diseases, and the three highs and the like are coming.

No matter how good the clothes are, they will be out of date and they will not like them. Clothes, as long as they look good and fit.

Living in a villa is just for sleeping, and living in a small house is just for sleeping. If the economy is limited, there is nothing wrong with living in a small house.

Cars are sometimes less convenient than motorcycles.

As a woman, I think it is absolutely impossible to save on sanitary napkins.

It is best not to use those unpacked products. There is little demand for sanitary products, which is tens of dollars a month. There is little difference between the prices of good quality and poor quality.

Even if you save dozens of dollars a month, you can't save hundreds of dollars a month.

On the contrary, regardless of hygiene, it is the most wasteful money to be infected with gynecological diseases.

So I can't find the cheapest sanitary products. I'd rather keep them somewhere else.

Without a good physical support, no matter how much money people save, it is meaningless.

So I don't think about saving money when I take medicine or stay in hospital.

Good medicine naturally has its effect. Your hospital naturally has its good treatment team.

Saving money on these things is a kind of saving rather than enjoying happiness.

All the tests that should be done will be done according to the doctor's instructions, without saving one. Because who knows if there is anything wrong with the link you just saved?

There are four things that I can't accept being replaced by cheap goods. The first category involves the safety of life and property. This situation mainly occurs in hospitals. According to Maslow's demand analysis theory, human needs are divided into five levels, with physiological needs and safety needs as the lowest level and the greatest strength. In other words, when something prevents your survival or threatens your safety, you are willing to pay a higher price for your survival and safety.

In the hospital, whether it is surgery or injection to take medicine, as an ordinary person, when choosing medical products in the hospital, the more expensive the better, the more secure it is.

For example, heart surgery stents cost thousands of dollars domestically or around 1 10,000, while those imported are generally more than 20,000. If it is for your own surgical needs, do you think it is better to use imported ones or domestic ones?

For example, the registration fee for general doctors is 30, the deputy chief physician is 80, and the chief physician is 200. When a child or a close relative is sick, even if it is a common cold and fever, I always feel that the chief physician is more reliable.

Therefore, when a person's consumption behavior involves the safety of life and property, he will naturally choose low-risk behavior, even if it is expensive, he does not want to increase the risk probability.

Second, only once in a lifetime. The main place of this kind is the wedding scene. According to Maslow's demand theory, the third level of human needs is the need of belonging and love. When you have basically solved the problem of survival and security, you have some savings after years of hard work and married your beloved half. At that moment, what you want to give to each other must be the best.

For example, when you choose a wedding hotel, do you want the other half to choose a remote and humble hotel because the hotel grade is too low Do you want the layout and arrangement of the wedding scene to have no characteristics at all? Do you want to exchange a ring without broken diamonds?

After all, most people only have one grand wedding in their lives. Even if they get married for the second time, most of them will not pay as much attention as they did for the first time.

The third category involves face. This is mainly related to itself. According to Maslow's demand theory, the fourth level of human demand is the demand of respect. When a person's social status reaches a certain level, when his property accumulates to a certain level, he wants to be respected by others, not looked down upon by others.

For example, when all your colleagues are using Apple phones, do you wish you had an Apple phone?

When you are worth tens of millions, do you prefer to drive a Bentley or a domestic car when you go out? Maybe you prefer the driver to drive a Bentley for you?

When a person has money, he never hesitates what money can buy; When the problem can be solved with money, he will never bow his head. This is the proper attitude of this class. If nothing else, it may block others' mouths and make them call him "evil capitalist" less.

The fourth category involves ideals. Such places are mainly experimental places. According to Maslow's demand theory, the fifth level of human needs is self-fulfilling needs. When a person's ideal strongly drives you to realize it, his concept of money is diluted and blurred. He feels that as long as he realizes his ideal and the value of life, it is worthwhile to pay more.

When a person's ideal is music, a guitar or a piano is his experimental place.

When a person's ideal is basketball, those sneakers are his experimental ground.

When a person's ideal is painting, that brush is his experimental place.

For his ideal, he can eat chaff and swallow vegetables every day, and he can also have a handy guitar, a pair of sneakers that fit him and a brush that can make the finishing touch.

Therefore, no matter how poor a person is, he can spend all his wealth to buy his favorite equipment when he wants to be ideal. He is not only equipment, but also his life!

This is used every day, which is directly related to our health, so we must use qualified and safe ones, otherwise it will damage our health.

Everyone's health occupies the first place in life. Without health, everything is zero.

I'd rather the child had nothing than buy her something cheap. As long as I buy her something with quality assurance from a regular manufacturer within my ability.

Think about it from another angle. What can cheap goods replace? That is, there is no doubt that any luxury goods in this category can be replaced by cheap ones.

However, beyond these, there are few or no other luxury categories. If you choose the cheap one, the risk is great.

Bags, watches, accessories, cars, etc. They are all luxuries, so you can use cheap ones.

But although these things have luxury goods, they are still very different from those in the bag. If you blindly pursue cheap, you may get hurt. For example, if you are injured, you may get sick and lose more than you gain.

There is another truth, cheap is always cheap, expensive is definitely expensive. According to your own needs, it is not necessarily the most expensive or the cheapest. Choose the one that suits you, provided you like it. Is this not good?

Everyone's consumption habits are different, and the economic base determines your consumption habits.

For example, the official second generation or the rich second generation, the family is not short of money, buy whatever you want. You don't bargain when you buy things, and you won't replace famous brands or genuine products with cheap ones.

When I was a child, because I had many brothers and sisters and my family income was low, I didn't have the habit of spending money lavishly. I just want to buy cheap things. I have ten cents, so I won't spend more money on two cents. This 1 minute Dongdong may be fake and shoddy products, or it may be spoiled food, and there is no sense of crisis. Only the concept of saving money.

With the growth of age and the increase of family income, especially after the COVID-19 epidemic, I think human life is the most precious. Some things must be replaced by authentic or safe food, and other cheap ones cannot be used.

1. You can't replace your daily diet with cheap food. Such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. Meat, eggs, rice, noodles, wine, etc.

2. Indirectly imported durable consumer goods cannot be replaced by cheap ones. Such as kettle, teapot, thermos cup, pot, bowl, chopsticks, spoon, etc.

3. Those that have a direct impact on family and personal safety cannot be replaced by cheap ones, such as household appliances, ovens, microwave ovens, faucets, power supplies and sockets.

After giving birth to a child, the economic pressure at home suddenly increased, and I didn't have a job with a fixed income, which made it worse. Therefore, the daily living expenses can also be saved, and basically do not buy unnecessary things. Sometimes we look at something and think it's expensive. We have to search the whole network to find a cheap substitute. But there are some things I can't accept cheaply.

First: baby's milk powder and diapers actually have many places for children to spend money, such as food, clothes, play, use, and so on. Because there is no income when I am pregnant, when I prepare my baby's things, I basically prepare a set of small clothes for more than ten yuan, which is not expensive.

But there are two points, milk powder and diapers are brands that look more formal. For example, the milk powder started in the cowshed, although this milk powder itself is not expensive, because I bought Mengniu milk powder once or twice later, and a can cost more than 300 yuan, which is near 400 yuan. For an income family like ours, it really feels expensive.

When I first bought it, Niulan's milk powder was only available in 200 yuan for each section, which is the price of a single can. Now the domestic version is renamed Nuoyouneng, and a cat flagship store pays for the jar 2 18. Although it has increased a little, the overall cost performance is still very high.

I just started reading various strategies for diapers and prepared Kao's. Because the newborn baby's bottom skin is too delicate, it is not safe to buy diapers that are too cheap, so I chose a brand.

After the full moon, relatives sent many diapers, mostly Kao, and some unknown brands.

I've used them all and found them to be well-known brands. Even if there is a mistake, at least they won't get red ass. It may be okay to use other brands once, but the number of times after a pack is obviously more than that when Kao uses them.

I don't always use Kao, because the baby behind me has grown up and has been looking for diapers that are easy to use and cheap. I have tried many brands, such as Kao, Youjani, Bambo, Dad's Choice, King Angel, Flying Crane, Anerle, Pampers Grade I, Bailey Le, Curious and so on.

Anyway, according to the older the child, the diapers he bought are getting cheaper and cheaper. Now basically a diaper 1 yuan is a little more. He is three years old. He trains to go to the toilet during the day and fixes a diaper at night.

Milk powder went completely bad when I was three years old. If you drink pure milk, although it is similar to drinking milk powder, it always feels better.

Second: large electrical appliances, furniture, etc. I have replaced them with new ones at home, because I can't buy them and they are worn out. Instead of doing this, I think it is better to buy a better one at a time and use it for a long time.

Although my furniture and electrical appliances are not particularly expensive, they are also regular manufacturers and well-known brands. They just think the quality is better when they use it. For example, the Haier water heater at home is not the latest model with the largest capacity, but the brand is there. After I bought it and installed it, it hasn't broken down once in more than four years. My home is basically electrified all year round, and it burns when the water is cold.

Washing machine My family used to buy a very cheap small wave wheel washing machine, and I use it to wash it every day. I'm happy without comparison. However, I find it is always unclean. Basically, clothes that are slightly dirty should be rubbed by hand before being put into the washing machine. If you put it directly in the washing machine, the clothes will wear out quickly after a long time, and basically the back can't be washed clean.

Later, I changed to an expensive drum washing machine. Little laundry detergent is used, but the clothes are washed very clean. Almost all other common stains can be cleaned except the intractable fruit stains. Stains that can't be washed out with a small washing machine can be cleaned without rubbing by hand.

Some furniture was not selected, so I bought a wardrobe cheaply online. When I bought it, I described it as a solid wood wardrobe. When I arrived, I found the wood was not good. Besides, when I use it now, the backboard is open. There are only two drawers in the whole wardrobe, and one is broken. As soon as I pulled the drawer board out, it separated from the drawer barrel. ...

There is also everything related to water and electricity, such as toilets and bathroom floor drains. If these two don't work well and often break down, they really don't work well. The toilet in my house used to be difficult to use. It's one of those water toilets. The water can't be pumped up, the ball can't float up to flush, or the switch is broken. The water keeps flowing, but the water tank is full, but it keeps leaking from below ... the floor drain is still smelly after being blocked at both ends for three days. In short, it is all kinds of discomfort.

Third: Why do imported things put this in the third place? Actually, it's because our family doesn't eat expensive things. We haven't bought any non-GMO vegetables and fruits, and we don't eat much imported snacks. We basically eat the kind of popular food that can be seen everywhere in supermarkets.

And I don't buy unheard-of brand grain and oil myself. I always buy this way, and I don't think these normal foods are expensive. So I'm too lazy to find a cheaper substitute, because people can't eat much money for normal meals.

I'm happy to answer your question:

First: plastic cups. Now there are also cheaper plastic cups on the market, and there are also free plastic cups when selling things. Generally, I won't use this kind of water cup, because the poor quality plastic water cup may produce toxins when used, especially at high temperature, which will deform and the toxins will precipitate into the water, which is harmful to human body!

Second: baby products, such as: (1) diapers, if babies of small months use cheap diapers, it will cause symptoms such as red buttocks, eczema and skin allergies; (2) Milk powder, if you drink poor quality milk powder, it will make your baby malnourished or stunted, which will seriously endanger your life; (3) Baby's close-fitting clothes should be made of pure cotton fabric. If the fabric is not good or the quality does not meet the baby's use standards, it will also make the baby's skin allergic; (4) Baby toys, babies are in the mouth and will put toys in their mouths. If toys don't meet the standard of baby food, they can't be given to babies, and they can't be replaced by low-priced products. Therefore, baby products can't be replaced by cheap ones!

Third: door locks and other locks, such as bicycle locks and electric car locks (this is usually self-contained, don't worry). The most important thing is the door lock, which involves safety. It must be noted that the first thing many people do when buying a new house is to change the lock, which is the guarantee of family safety. With the progress of science and technology, smart locks such as fingerprint locks have emerged, and many families have installed smart locks!

In life, sometimes things are too expensive, and we will consider substitutes with relatively low prices. It's true. Some things are too expensive and cost-effective. Unnecessary things can be replaced by cost-effective substitutes. However, some things should not only be considered cheap, but also quality and advantages and disadvantages. Life needs careful calculation, and sometimes it needs quality!

Let's fight for a better life together!
