Things That Are Priced Too High Right Now . . . and What's Worth Paying More For?
There's a new report out on bargain hunting, and it includes lists of things that are priced TOO HIGH . . . and stuff where the higher prices are WORTH IT.
Maybe not surprisingly, the "priced too high" list is topped by GAS. The current average price is $3.47 a gallon, which is down 9% from last year at this time when it was $3.83.
Fast food is the runner-up on the "too expensive" list, followed by: Meat / fish . . . automobiles . . . smartphones . . . eggs . . . clothing . . . personal care items . . . snacks . . . and medicine.
But despite those prices, there are things people are willing to splurge on.
When asked what's WORTH paying more money for these days, smartphones came in at #1. People don't care if there are cheaper phones out there, they want to shell out TOP DOLLAR for the best.
Appliances are the next-most worth it, followed by computers and laptops . . . personal care items . . . TVs . . . "laundry materials" . . . coffee . . . clothing . . . shoes . . . and skincare.

(Money is tight these days . . . I don't think people are EXCITED to pay $1,500 on a smartphone or whatever it is now . . . so if there's a good sale out there, we're not going to pass it up.)
(The idea is that these are things people are NOT looking to cheap-out on.)
