9 Things You Shouldn’t Skimp On
Consumer Reports claims that there are 9 things that you should never buy cheap.
- House paint: A $10 can may require several coats to look good or hide what is underneath. A $40 can can cover well in one coat.
- Beds: A $500 queen set could mean years of sleeping on lumpy springs.
- Blu Ray players for less than $20: Fine if you dont mind buying a new one every year.
- Vacuum Cleaners: A $50 vacuum cleans like a $50 vacuum according to Consumer Reports. Don’t expect Kirby or Dyson-like performance.
- Fire extinguishers: When the kitchens on fire, do you want a $7 aerosol can or a real extinguisher? Pay another 25 bucks for the red one.
- Camping Tents: Do you like rain driping on you while you sleep? Skip the cheapest one.
- $79 Black Friday Tablets: Each holiday season, thousands of people buy them. 6 months later, many don’t work anymore.
- A 15 year old, $1,000 used car for a teenager. If you can’t afford anything better than a dangerous old clunker, then don’t buy them a car.
-
Stainless steel barbecue grills for less than $150.
