Not Rocket Science

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?


A namebrand usually means quality. If something goes wrong with a
namebrand product, you hear about it. The whole idea behind a
namebrand is about developing a good reputation. No-brand products
have no reputation, so you have no way of knowing whether the
maker uses quality ingredients.

I believe that namebrand products will help get us out of this
Chinese made mess. People need to focus on name brands, and spread
the word about where the namebrand products and their ingredients
are made. If I were a mother, I would be very concerned about the
fact that almost all baby products, like a pacifier a mother
sticks into her baby's mouth, are made in China.

Unfortunately, feminists really do not want manufacturing jobs
here in the United States since they are mostly held by men.
Having everything made in China with slave labor is great for
feminists because it means they get cheaper products while
depending less on their male counterparts. Also, illegal
immigration means feminists get cheap labor and do not have to pay
their male counterparts a decent wage to do the hard work. See
California politics (recent congressional hearings on illegal
immigration, women versus men) for a clear example of that stuff.

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.
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.
