Online shopping has saved me a lot of money in the past 4 years.
In this video you will see the most common things that you overpay for at stores, and
I will show you how to spend your hard-earned cash to get the most value.
Travel pillows cost an exorbitant $20+ at airports, or $10+ for the cheapest models
at stores.
This is insane!
You can get regular crappy ones for $1.50, bright-colored ones for $3.50, or fancy ones,
that cost $25 on Amazon, for less than $5.
Memory cards are one of the typical first-time purchases on AliExpress.
Retail prices for those bite a fat one as well.
Some may say otherwise, but with the introduction of the collective feedback machine, age of
the fake capacity ones is steadily coming to its righteous end.
I have ordered and received a few different ones, and I always got what I expected.
The most recent one is a class 10 U3 micro SD card by Samsung, which works flawlessly
in my Xiaomi Yi recording 4K footage in 30 frames per seconds.
Crappy charger cables cost an approximate $7 at gas stations and 7/11's, and starting
at $10 at local chain electronics stores, which is an obscenity, especially when you
can get a simple braided one for less than $1, and a decent branded one from $2-something
dollars with free shipping.
Just remember, the longer the cable is, the higher the resistance, which means it will
take more time to charge.
Toothbrush heads, along with the razor heads are normally quite expensive, but not on AliExpress.
And while I would not recommend ordering the razors, as I have never gotten a single one
that would work well enough, the toothbrush heads are hard to mess up, and I have been
using mine with an aftermarket replacement head for a few years now.
You can find them for around $0.25 cents per piece.
Cheap earphones are sold by hawkers stands by an average of $10.
You can get them for around $1.
Granted, they won't sound amazing, but you won't expect a $10 pair of store earphones
to.
You shouldn't, anyway.
But you would be surprised how crisp the $6 pair of earphones from AliExpress would sound.
Take KZ ED2, for example - at least read through the feedback.
I highly recommend KZ earphones from the first-hand experience.
They are very impressive for the price.
Good socks and underwear.
The thing about online shopping is that you can either get crappy things much cheaper
than retail, or get nice things for the prices that stores charge for crappy things.
For example, you can get cotton or bamboo fiber underwear for about $2-3 per piece,
which is typically $5-10 in retail world, and you can also get fancy socks between $1
and $3, that cost $7 and up per pair at stores like TopShop and H&M.
The next thing is smartphones.
Chinese-made phones are no longer just a cheaper option, they are a much cheaper alternative.
What this means, is kissing goodbye overpriced iPhones and Galaxies, and saying hello to
their counterparts from the Middle Kingdom.
Nowadays, China isn't just producing the low quality copies of Western products, they
actually make them; and complaints of low quality knock-offs became outdated about a
decade ago.
Of course, there still are companies that make low-quality iPhone copies, and stuff
them with iOS-styled Android OS; but we also have companies like Foxcon that assemble parts
into real iPhones, Wii U's and Sony PlayStations.
Let's compare $700 iPhone 6 specs to the Xiaomi Mi4, which were released around the
same time in early 2016.
Mi4 has a faster processor, twice as much RAM, almost twice the battery capacity, a
bigger resolution display, and all that for nearly a fifth of the price.
$200 Mi5 has a slightly worse processor to an iPhone 7, but only in a sense that Apple's
A10 can use all cores simultaneously, while Xiaomi's Snapdragon 821 can only switch
between the high performance core cluster and the energy efficient core cluster, but
if you only use Facetime and Snapchat this is mostly irrelevant.
Besides, Mi5 processor has a built-in LTE modem, the phone has more RAM, more battery
power, and even a 3.5mm headphone jack, which apparently you can't just expect anymore.
In some sense, iPhone 6 might still be a tiny bit better, but not $400 better.
Let's look at other consumer electronics prices.
You can pay $130 for a JBL 360 speaker, or $23 for a similar no-name one on AliExpress.
Or if you prefer branded electronics, which I do, take a look at the Bluedio BS-2 that
we have seen in our previous videos, which costs less than a cover for the very similar
$180 dollar Bose speaker.
I will link the Bluedio store in the description, check them out as they have a ton of great
headphones and bluetooth speakers.
Mind you, large companies allocate between 10% and 20% of their annual budget towards
marketing, which means you pay a fair amount just for being told that one brand is better
than the other.
Let's look at more stuff.
You can pay $200 for a pair of wireless earbuds at a local store, $220 for Apple earpods,
or about $30 for a pair of completely wireless Bluetooth earphones by a brand called Syllable.
Compared to the iPad 4, Chuwi Hi12 has twice the battery power, better display, more CPU
cores with a higher frequency, and more RAM.
It also costs about a $100 less than an iPad.
I hope this video gave you a reason to reconsider your spending habits, and encouraged you to
give online shopping a try, if you haven't tried it yet.
