Consumer Reports- Don't Skimp on these Items

From The Richmond Times-Dispatch 5/8/2011:

" 'According to a new ShopSmart national poll, more than three-quarters of American women buy stuff they don't need just because it's sale,' said Lisa Lee Freeman, editor-in-chief of ShopSmart.
   Here are the eight things that ShopSmart says are worth the price:

  • Paint
  • Gas Grills
  • Big-Screen TV's
  • Blu-ray Players
  • Fire Protection
  • Mattresses
  • Grass Seed
  • Canister Vacuums

-Consumers Union Inc."

I always wonder if some things are"too good to be true deals."  According to this article, they are. Mostly, it seems inferior quality materials or ingredients used in things like mattresses and fire extinguishers can not only not save you money but cause years of back aches or be dangerous!
