From: Consumer on 16 Feb 2010 16:55 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 store that is rocket science. Many of the less advertised (LA) brands or store brands are just as good or better as 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 name 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. Many times they are using terminology that means nothing. 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.

In fact very many do, and the huge rise in sales for generic products, as well as a plethora of cheap unadvertised "brands" proves it pretty conclusively. MrT.

Every 6 months or so this (obviously) American spam is posted in aus.consumers. The least these fools could do is adapt their message to the audience they send it to. -- Regards, David.
