>>146879its a quality vs quantity issue tho. Save for another 2 weeks, then buy from local shops and locally produced. it'll be better quality and you're putting the money into something that you will indirectly get return from (better economy, better community,etc). I understand some people actually cant afford it, but most of the time its a shitty excuse. I'm not accusing you, I just see it used a lot when its really the persons judgements are skewed.
Also, if you blame the system instead of taking responsibility then the cylce is gonna keep on going around. Buy local when you can, buy cheap imports when you have to.
