A couple of months back when looking to get a sponge so I could grout some tiles at home I was in the hardware store in the tiling section I found a sponge for £1.78, but I could swear I had seen cheaper elsewhere in the store so went over to the part of the same store that had things for washing cars and windows and found the same sponge for 30p.

The same thing happens with many things in life thanks to marketing… branding… whatever you may call it, don’t pay for hype and product placement pay for genuine value. Think of it as a contradiction to “You get what you pay for”.

Shop around…. even within the same shop..
