Would you rather buy a cheap imitation or the real thing?

Would you buy a cheap but very similar item rather than a pricey original? For example, Ugg boots are very expensive for boots, but there are imitations that look very similar for $20. Would you rather spend tons of money for the brand or not much money for a lookalike? I think its kindof stupid when people buy $500 handbags when they could get a $30 look alike.

  1. i would save up for the real thing. look a likes look well…cheap and i dont think thats very attractive

  2. Buy the fake one.
    That way you’ll still have money left. You can buy 5 purses for the price of one real one.

    I think that spending all of your money on things that are only purchased for looks or ideals is ridiculous. I would rather save my money and spend it on something that matters. How many homeless people could you feed for $500? How many people could you help with $500? Instead of branding yourself as someone who is completely self-obsessed, I would suggest spending your extra money to help make the world a better place. If you must have an expensive-looking handbag, I would suggest you get a knock-off because they look exactly the same from far away and I’m sure that nobody is going to grab your bag and inspect it for flaws.
