Spending Habits

This past week I happened to turn 20 years old (1 more year! =)). For a birthday present my mom decided to take me to Easton for a little shopping trip. Most people would think that going to Easton you would be able to find something worth buying. However after looking for about 2 hours my mother and I were left with nothing.

You would think that with our slowly crumbling economy that producers would want to benefit from the small amount of shoppers willing to buy something. Yet everything I saw looked like someone had barfed on a t-shirt and put a one hundred dollar price tag on it. It also seemed like stores were using the cheapest quality of fabric to make a fifty dollar t-shirt.

If producers really want to try to earn some money in this recession why not try making something that people would actually consider buying. Speaking for myself I would pay more for a quality made product that I would wear instead of getting something cheap and only wear once. I just wish that producers would conform to consumers needs in this economic crisis. For those that are willing to spend some cash, why not give them a good product. Word of mouth would therefore give producers more customers and also give them some profit. Yes, nowadays you are going to have to pay more for quality but in my mind that is better than getting a piece of crap that you can’t wear more than three times. Well since my mother and I were unable to find anything we decided to get pedicures. It sucks that producers missed out on some willing to spend money from Kath (mom).
