Cheap Vs Expensive | Shopping Well For Less Ep2

Hi guys welcome back to the channel we're on to day two of the living well for less series

where we'll be shopping well for less with clothes shopping being an essential part of our lives and with trends that come and go

every few months we'd all like to know how we can shop well for less how we can make the most

of our money five clothing items jacket t-shirt jeans shoes and a hat pure essentials then we'll

be comparing these items in three different clothing stores so one high-end one mid-end

and one low-end to figure out which is the best value for money now we're going to be comparing

in price, quality and overall value. And the three stores being Zara, high end, H&M, mid end and

Primark, low end. But even that is on a spectrum of affordability. First up, Zara. Let's go

so now the cheapest trouser i can find in zara was 25.99 for blue skinny jeans now it was decent

quality and a good fit so no complaints there now i went for a basic t-shirt the cheapest for 12

£1.99. It fit me well, no complaints. The cheapest hat, £15.99. The cheapest shoe was

And now we on to jackets I found a jacket for for medium It wasn too bad Green in colour and that was the cheapest I could find in the store isn too bad

Now the overall spend in Zara for the most basic t-shirt, basic jeans, basic jacket

basic hat and basic shoes came to £115. That is a whopping price

Next up, H&M. Now this is mid-end so I'm expecting fairly economical prices. Now surprisingly the cheapest

trousers I could find in H&M was $24.99. It was also a slim fit jeans denim blue. Now the cheapest

t-shirt on the other hand £6.99 happy days I'm happy with that no complaints there now the jacket

was £24.99 decent quality decent fit decent price happy days the most basic shoe £17.99

and they look like a converse remake £17.99 for a shoe isn't too bad now for hats we found one for

£6.99. Now overall spend for H&M mid-end came up to £82 for a complete fit. Now we're on to Primark

the cheapest of them all. The cheapest t-shirt I found at Zara was £2 but that was for a lodge. It didn't fit well so I wanted

to give them the best opportunity in this comparison. So I went for a slightly higher

price for a nice slim fit t Next up I found jeans denim for Now like the t

I couldn't find slim fit for that price. The slim fit was slightly higher, £14.99, but I stopped to

£10. It looked good. It fit well. It felt great. I found a hat for £2.50. Unfortunately, it was

green. I couldn't find black or blue or any other colors. Basic shoes at Primark, six pound. They

look slightly similar to the ones at H&M. They look fairly sturdy as well. They look like they'll

last you a fair bit. And then lastly, a jacket for 15 pound. Now this jacket, I have to say

I completely enjoyed. It looked great on me. It was the right fit and the quality wasn't too bad

And our total overall spend for low-end Primark came to £37 for a complete fit

Now that is a bargain and a half. And I can't complain at all

The clothes were decent. They were decent quality. The fit was decent. The colors, the look overall was decent

So now you're probably thinking, well, those are different quality products anyways

So you'd expect a different price for them. And granted, that's a valid point

So next, we're going to find similar clothing items from different stores at a different price point

Reason being, sometimes different clothing brands use the same manufacturers or suppliers for their clothing

but sell them at different price points in relation to their brand identity and value

Like Zara and Pull&Bear, for example, which belong to the same index group

which is a textile manufacturer that owns a number of brands including those two

So now we're going to have a look in them and see if we can find the same clothing

but at different price points Alright so I had a look and I managed to find a shirt at Poulombaire for

and then we had a look at Zara, found the exact same shirts, same design, same style down to a T

for $29.99. Now don't get me wrong that's only a two pound saving but across the board it all adds

up and by the time you can match all your shopping items at a different store and obviously for a

cheaper price then you're saving money. To conclude if you're not so worried about the brand's name

and value on your t-shirt then you're better off shopping at mid to low-end stores because you get

better quality product and still at a cheaper price than the high-end stores standard slash

basic products which are more expensive and have less quality. A high-end store has premium and

standard products. A low-end store has premium and standard products. The low-end store's premium

products has better quality and cheaper than the high-end store's standard products which is what

most people go for just to be able to say they have a high-end store's brand name on their clothing

So now with that and with the help of some mobile apps and some basic research, you should be able

to save yourself a lot of money shopping well for less. My name is Toho Courage and that right there

was The Hack. See you in the next one. Peace
