I was out shopping the other day for a golf club to add to my bag. I went into a locally owned store and had quite a conversation with the sales person. I was looking for a fairway wood and was ready to put down some decent money on it. He showed me another club made by another company. Or so I thought. It was half the price and was a sister company of the original more expensive club I was looking at. Same thing really.
My parents as I mentioned are on the hunt for a laptop. They called today because a sales person at Future Shop told them what they needed and they wanted me to check it out. It's not what they needed. The price was over inflated because it was a big brand name. There were other laptops with the same size screen and same processor but with bigger hard drives and more gigs of ram and they were cheaper.
When we shop we are always drawn the brand names. If you are trying to save money skip over the brand names and take a look at what else is out there. There are clone golf clubs which still work just as good as the originals and even replica watches still tell the time.
