Just because\u00a0the product\u00a0comes from a big name doesn&#8217;t necessarily make it better.\u00a0 Yeah, you get what you pay for&#8230;except when you don&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Swing &#8217;til you&#8217;re happy!<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There once was a point when I thought the phrase &#8220;You get what you pay for&#8221;
