Follow Dr. Mekawi’s Advice and Buy These 5 Items for Cheap

Prices are on the rise everyday due to the USD going up which is why we need to tighten our belts and budget better. Faydety is here to tell you five things you should not spend a lot of money on and save your cash for when you really need it as Dr. Mekawi likes to say.

Watches

Your outfit is not complete without the appropriate watch. A watch gives a certain class and an elegant look to your outfit whether it is for work or for a night out. There are many watches out there; original, high copy, copy, or even no label watches. You don’t need a Rolex to look elegant, there are other cheaper options out there that do the same job.

So why pay 3000 Egyptian pounds for one watch when you can buy 10 watches for the same price and still look chic at the same time? A plus would be that if a cheaper watch breaks or gets scratched it won’t break your heart with it!

Save you money and invest in 2-3 reasonably priced watches or pay a bit more and invest in a good quality smart watch if you want to organize your time better and track your health stats at the same time.

 T-shirts (Especially white shirts)

An item of clothing that does not need to be expensive are t-shirts specifically white shirts. T-shirts can make your outfits look very trendy especially when paired with a pair of good quality jeans but they do tend to get dirty very quickly and depending on the quality they can even lose color or yellow with age and sweat especially white shirts.

Which is why you shouldn't buy expensive white t-shirts and instead buy 3 or 4 shirts of good quality but from a cheaper brand. They don't even need to have a brand at all and this way you can alternate between the shirts which we make them last longer.

White Shoes

White shoes are very trendy at the moment as both summer and winter footwear but since they are well, white they tend to get dirty very quickly no matter what you do simply because of their light color and because we wear them a lot (they do look good with almost everything don’t they?). 

Your best option is to buy a moderately priced good quality pair of white shoes; not too expensive but not too cheap either so they won’t tear after a few times. 

You don’t need to only have Calvin Kleins, Kappa, or Prada in your closet. Find a good quality shoe store and buy your shoes there. If they are ruined or if the color changes (white shoes tend to turn grey pretty fast) then you can always replace them without getting too upset over the price.

Classic shoes on the other hand should be bought for quality and to last much longer than every day shoes so it is ok to splurge on them.

Accessories 

Accessories are essential to complete an outfit whether they be a bracelet, a necklace, or a ring. 

The problem is they do tend to change color with time, exposure to weather conditions, and sweat. Which is why we advise you not to buy expensive accessories as they will change color anyway. 

Save your money and buy a cheaper option that you can replace if they are ruined without hurting your wallet.

Eyeglasses

If you need eyeglasses and like to match them with your outfit then there is no need to buy expensive frames. Instead buy several cheaper frames -of good quality of course- and spend more on the glass itself. After all they are meant to preserve your eyesight from deteriorating further! 

The same applies to sunglasses. If you want to buy several pairs and switch between them then opt for cheaper ones and not brands. If you break the frame or lose it you won’t be as heartbroken as you would be if they were very expensive.
