Our culture often thinks more expensive= higher quality. However, that's mostly propaganda we've been conditioned to accept.
It's been great for marketing departments, for big business bottom lines, but I promise if you buy from a mom and pop shop, you'll get great quality without having to sell a kidney or your soul.
Just offering this up as something to consider.

Mom and Pop stores have just as good products for sale at lower prices for their products.

Lately I have been writing a series on a writing site about US small towns and I tell you some of those family owned businesses look so quaint they would draw my business more than anything big and modern,

Plus, its probably better quality. People to poor to put out bad work. They make sure ts done right because their lives really depend on it.

it's so true. if you remove the brand's name, you get the same product.
