To wonder where you all buy good quality stuff from? Wondering if it is even possible!

[Stressmode]

I Have been enjoying another post in Chat asking where people no longer shop for good quality stuff. This lead me to wonder where do you lot shop for good quality stuff these days? AIBU to think that things have gone down hill, or am I just looking on the wrong place?

Clothes wise I still like Toast, East and Ancient Earth. The quality is the same but the prices have gone up which is not a surprise.

Where are you buying home wares and white goods?

Is it just that everyone is in to fast fashion in all things these days? That seems a bit contradictory now that more people are considering the environment.

White goods AO but haven't needed for a decade

Yes we have bought all our recent white goods from there. They deliver when they say they will and let you know when they are on their way.

Uniqlo for basic clothes. Paying £££ is no guarantee of quality; there’s plenty of polyester shirt costing hundreds.

You have to be so, so careful. Loads of bucolic looking high street butchers banging on about “shop local” are actually selling meat from Poland, not local, good quality meat.

As to your question - white goods we use AO and far and away best bang for buck has been our bargain basement Beko freezer which we have had sat in the garage for decades. Homewares: IKEA and M&S. Mass production is the best quality control, and they provide acceptable quality for reasonable cost. There’s too many places charging £££ for tat.
