From: Consumer on 29 Jun 2010 14:36 Most people don't realize that they spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year buying the heavily advertised (HA) brand products in the grocery and department stores. There is nothing in the grocery or department stores that is rocket science. Many of the less advertised (LA) brands or store brands are just as good or better compared to the HA brands. You are paying for the brainwashing that many HA brand manufacturers put in their advertising campaigns. It is not difficult to make shampoos, conditioners, cleaning products and all those other products that can be found in your local grocery or department store. Why are you paying 4+ dollars for baby shampoo when you can buy the less advertised brand for half the money? Do you like wasting money? If the HA brand products are better why would companies be spending billions of dollars in advertising? The answer is that they are not better. They are trying to convince you that the high price they are charging is some how justified by a better product. If they were better they would not need to do the massive advertising; social networking would sell the product. Many times they are using terminology that means nothing. There is also false claims being made by these manufacturers. There are no advertising police. Even over the counter drugs like aspirin can be bought for half the price of the HA brands. This is a product that has been around for decades. The LA products are under the same FDA regulations as the HA brands. Save a lot of money and don't buy the over priced HA brands. When you pay the higher price for the HA brands you are paying for the ridiculous high salaries of the CEO's, private jets, golden parachutes and for the billions spent on advertising. Every time you go to the store you can save several dollars. Over time this can amount to a significant amount of money. Tell the managers in the stores in which you shop that they need to carry more of the less advertised brands. In many stores they have been doing this for the past couple of years.

Yadda yadda yadda, is it really the time for this spam to appear again? I really must catch up with the regular chores that the appearance of this spam message signifies, like shampoo my car tyres and other things that this inspires.... You would reckon that anyone spamming non-USA countries would at least edit the many USA specific references, otherwise it makes it fairly pointless. -- Regards, David.
