I buy Fairy Liquid because it lasts longer than the cheaper ones.
I buy Asda's own brand ....cos cheap or dear I still squirt as much
I buy Sainsbury's own brand after they did a test on a full range and proved that the 80p washing up liquid performed exactly the same as bigger more expensive brands 
Guess what, it washes my dishes just fine.

Tell me about it! I know a two year old who has Ugg boots.

Very true. Let's face it, they are still mass produced even if they want you to think they have been hand made.
Exactly ....mind you , my kids were brought up in a * pre label* world ...thank goodness

I try to buy when on offer. I have also used Tesco's and that is fine too.
I tried a new, more expensive shampoo recently and it dried my scalp.
The BBC did a piece on shampoo's and it transpired that all shampoo's are basically the same, the only difference is the perfumes and branding.

I saw that
...and I think that shampoo test just proves the Aldi is the one to go for.

Even if I was loaded, I wouldn't spend that on a bottle of shampoo

Ditto
My iPod is quite expensive, but I use it every day and I have done so for years and it is great value I think.

Me neither ....I'd have my own hairdresser
Good thinking

Having said that I have had my mobile 4 years in April and paid around ÂĢ500 for it outright. It's still in almost mint condition. I don't think that is bad value.

Yes ....I put my hands up to being an Apple fan.....
Me too, but I don't replace them just because a new version has appeared.
I wait for hubby/sons' castoffs.

That's the thing, if you buy something which is expensive but get years of use, then it's worth the money.

It was throwing it down when I went to work today. I put on my North Face and although it's old and starting to fail a bit, it did keep me dry where it covered, however my trousers were drenched and sitting on a bus was yuk!

Agreed, that is why I research and tend to look after my purchases. There is a level below which technology can be a bit pants.
I am splashing out on one of these tomorrow. I'm going for the edge.
