48 Substitutes For More Expensive Name-Brand Products
A pair of Old Navy jellies with a netting design that looks jaw-droppingly similar to the Mara flats by The Row, except they are a literal percentile of the $800+ price tag! And for $20 you'll be very impressed by the breathability and comfort that these Y2K-inspired ballet flats offer to your summertime style. Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes because the popular Hoka sneakers can get a little pricey. Enjoy cloud-like comfort with each step while showing off bold hues with your favorite pilates fits, especially now that you don't have to choose between your monthly gym membership or a pair of dependable footwear. A tinted lip balm that delivers a sheer, buildable black cherry hue, so similar to the more expensive, cult-favorite "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey by Clinique. Trust that no one will be able to tell the difference unless they peep the tube, so you can enjoy a lovely pop of color and the nourishing blend of beeswax and vitamin E on your lips without spending an arm and a leg. A ribbed button-up tank, which one reviewer compares to an Abercrombie top in the same style (but at double the price). We won't judge you for grabbing more than one of these tops considering they will make a sophisticated addition to your businesswear when you're in the office this summer. An adorable juice glass that's only $6 less than the popular Anthropologie glasses, but hey, you could spend that extra cash on fresh fruits and herbs to slice and garnish your summertime mint juleps and strawberry lemonades! A top-rated tennis skort created with similar uber-soft material as the bestselling DreamLux leggings, making this an affordable Lululemon alternative! The built-in shorts are the star of this miniskirt, along with the hidden interior pocket for holding your athletic club membership card. A six-piece (!!) set of BestLand's high-performance matte lipsticks that deliver an expensive-looking, velvety bold finish thanks to a quick-drying, waterproof formula. And yes, the price is right because in this set of six, each lipstick comes out to $1.49! Reviewers say they compare to the matte lippies by Kylie Cosmetics, which cost $23 a pop! Or the long-lasting Peripera Ink Velvet Lip Tint, which is celebrated for its ultra-pigmented formula that delivers a matte finish without being too heavy, dry, or sticky on your lips. This under-$10 lip tint is similar to more expensive matte lipsticks like YSL Velvet Cream and Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution, according to reviewers! A reversible quilted throw blanket — it's giving Anthro Home vibes for a fraction of the price in case you want to switch up your bedroom decor for a more colorful, summery look. Its lightweight cotton design also makes it the perfect throw blanket for napping on the couch with the windows open before it's time to finally turn on the AC. An spaghetti strap sundress to keep you cool when the temperature is blazing, but also make sure you don't flash everyone when (if?) a strong gust of wind comes by thanks to a dependable pair of built-in shorts. This summer is all about function and spending less, and this warm weather piece checks both boxes since reviewers swear it's a great alternative to a pricier version from everyone's favorite mall brand. 👀 A pair of retro-looking pilot shield sunglasses that are making the rounds on TikTok for their lookalike style to a pair of Bottega Veneta glasses that run for $699. 😮💨 At $15 each, you should definitely treat yourself to more than one pair! Or some oversize square sunnies if you want to complete your outfit with an accessory that exudes high-fashion status. The Bottega-inspired shape offers optimal coverage along with the convenience of glare-preventing polarization and UV400 lenses, which will actually keep your eyes protected on all fronts. If it looks like you're hiding from the paparazzi, it's because you are. A very affordable Dash stand mixer that'll effortlessly complement the rest of your carefully-curated kitchen decor, while saving you money because its hundreds of dollars less than a splurge-worthy KitchenAid mixer! It's also perfect if you're just getting started on your baking journey and want to aesthetically vlog all the creations you whip up with its six powerful speeds and 3-quart bowl. Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip — instead of splurging on the pricier Dior version, enjoy the same juicy finish and hydration benefits with this one, thanks to a blend of vegan squalane, raspberry, and cloudberry oils. Time to pucker up and receive compliments from everyone you cross paths with! A CZ tennis bracelet that looks waaaay more expensive than it actually is, but no one has to know you spent less than 25 bucks on your new favorite accessory! The sophisticated sparkle will usher in so many compliments, and some reviewers even say it's similar to a much much pricier Swarovski piece! Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. 🤫 Orrrr, really show off your glamorous side with a set of golden bracelets, which you can stack up and style as you save up the thousands of dollars to splurge on real Cartier gold pieces... or, you know, you could pay for an international trip and simply wear these? 🤷♀️ Some sharp-looking pointed-toe flats to make you feel like you're walking on cloud nine with a comfy memory foam insole. As a much more affordable option to the popular Rothy's and Vivaia styles, yes, these are also machine washable, so you never have to worry about wearing sweaty, smelly flats to work! A beaded shoulder bag if you can't convince yourself to splurge on the $295 Staud bags that just might wreck your carefully created budget. Shop a little more responsibly and treat yourself to the Anthropologie alternative, which offers a similar beaded design in lots of styles — will you choose the olives, espresso martinis, sardines, or nab several at such an unbeatable price? A glass mushroom lamp to add some whimsy into your home decor with its small stature and sleek design. Reviewers love the way it adds mood lighting to a dimly lit corner or desk, plus, it's significantly cheaper than a luxury lamp you might find at Urban Outfitters, CB2, or West Elm, where the prices just might make you gasp. 🫢 An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven, which comes in eight bright and bold colors that'll look great on the 'gram when showing off the process for your latest loaf as you join the ranks of the sourdough community. Plus, it's versatile enough to boil potatoes, roast a chicken, or even fry fish when you feel like throwing down in the kitchen. Did I mention it costs a lot less than the (also) aesthetically-pleasing, but budget-busting Le Creuset Dutch ovens? A ridiculously versatile nylon tote bag because it's water-resistant, boasts a roomy interior with pockets, and has a chic faux leather accent to elevate your daily style. Plus, this minimalist bag is a perfect option for anyone not ready (or willing) to splurge on an authentic Longchamp's Le Pliage bag because they look extremely similar! A cherry bag charm that makes a budget-friendly alternative to the $95 charm from Coach, if you truly only care about adding a ~sweet~ little accent to your favorite wallet or belt bag and not about name brands. Spend more money on the the charm! A cute two-piece pajama set made with an ultra-comfy cotton-blend that you just might want to live in these with their colorful patterns and matchy-matchy style. If anything, you'll definitely pack a pair for every upcoming overnight in your calendar, and yes, you can even buy several because the price is over $100 cheaper than the popular Roller Rabbit version without sacrificing the cutesy design! A popular long-sleeve bodysuit featuring a "Smoke Cloud" fabric with a soft, seamless design similar to Skims when it comes to support *and* comfort. Plus, some reviewers say the double-lined torso offers enough support that they don't even need to wear a bra! Plus, a stretchy bodycon pencil dress if you really can't afford to splurge on Skims cult-favorite pieces right now, but still want to build your capsule wardrobe. This fitted dress is designed with compression that mimics the body-hugging Kardashian style without the luxury price! A mid-century modern round glass coffee table that at first glance looks like the popular $600+ West Elm table with its tiered design. But this piece will set your living room apart from the others with its earthy hues and goldtone accents, making your space have a retro 70s feel to it. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones featuring cushy padding, 10 hours of playtime per charge, noise cancellation, and even a built-in mic, so you can take calls hands-free! These may look like the drool-worthy AirPods Max, but they costs hundreds and hundreds of dollars less. 😭 A rainbow-inspired eyeshadow palette with 40 shades in assorted matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes — if you're a beauty aficionado, you might notice this is extremely similar to the (now discontinued 😭) James Charles x Morphe palette, which was almost $40. You can literally make the eye look of your dreams. The only thing limiting you is your maybe the number of eyeshadow brushes you own! A baroque-inspired mirror, which is a much more affordable version of the very popular Anthropologie mirror and other expensive options. This mirror will fit seamlessly into your space as a luxury statement-maker and every single selfie you take in it will look *extra* incredible because of the frame alone! An elegant set of square wineglasses that even Olivia Pope would be envious of because of their contemporary elegance. These compare to the pricier Crate and Barrel glasses, but some reviewers say they are a lot more durable. Sure, your wine may only cost $12, but it'll taste a lot more expensive in these. A faux-leather bag, which bears a striking resemblance to the $$$ Polène's Cyme handbag that you've probably seen online or IRL while exploring your local shops. It's probably time for you to get a shiny, new, gorgeous everyday bag and this lookalike will actually fit your budget! Hanes Ultimate ankle socks because you deserve luxury comfort in every part of life, including lounging around the house in socks and PJs or wearing your favorite sneakers. Reviewers stand 10 toes down on these being an affordable alternative to the Aritzia TNA ones comfort-wise, but you'll get six for basically half the price! A faux-pearl choker to elevate your everyday fashion looks with a touch of elegance without spending hundreds of dollars on an actual Vivienne Westwood piece. It's subtle enough to exude expensive taste without being too gauche about it, you know? Slingback heels that are giving luxurious Chanel looks without the bank-breaking prices. Seriously — these sophisticated puppies will keep you comfortable and have everyone wondering where and how you got them! And another Chanel alternative: this quilted faux-leather crossbody purse because there's no such thing as owning too many purses, and this designer lookalike can fool everyone into thinking you spent some hard-earned cash for high-fashion style. A glitzy long-sleeve sequin dress that's a dead-ringer for the $765 16Arlington dress that you've might've spotted Mrs. Hailey Bieber in when scrolling through your pop culture news updates. But don't worry, you won't be mind-boggled at the price of this under-$100 alternative that'll make you still look like nepo-baby royalty when you're enjoying a free cocktail at your best friend's wedding reception. A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses if your fashion goals scream Miu Miu but your budget wails "No No". Instead of spending $400+ on designer looks, create your own luxury looks with thrifty alternatives and let even your haters think you're a big baller when they spot you at the local watering hole, aka that popular $$$ brunch spot. A pair of satin block-heel dress shoes that only your wallet will know aren't real Loeffler Randall pumps. Complement your going out fits with the pleated design and chunky heel, while still staying comfortable when it's time to bust out the "Cupid Shuffle" choreo at the arts district block party. A velvet V-neck maxi dress because you probably already spent a ridiculous amount of cash on bridal shower, bachelorette, and bridesmaid duties, and the only instructions to stand by your bestie's side was to wear a specific color. You'll look fabulous in this Jenny Yoo lookalike, and won't spend the rest of the night lamenting about how much you spent on a dress you'll only wear once (which you won't by the way)! Slip-on mules that look daringly similar to the more expensive Madewell Gemma shoes, but offer comfort and chic style for less. Sure, they're work appropriate, but you'll find out how versatile these shoes are when you start wearing them to almost every function because of the sophisticated touch they add to even your most shredded pair of jeans. A velvet ottoman that works double duty as a convenient stool when you need extra seating for guests or an end table when you want to keep your fresh cup of coffee near. The stacked pouf design looks awfully similar to the $425 Studio McGee ottomans, but fortunately for you this one is under $100! A pair of cozy platform slippers featuring all the style and comfort of the triple-digit Tasman Ugg ones, which are constantly in and out of stock! But these costs waaaaaay less! Cushionaire slides — nope, not Birkenstocks, but over 1,000 reviewers agree they're a darn good lookalike — designed to keep you comfy with a suede insole that contours to your foot for a *literal* perfect fit and flexible footbed. When you're making your way through the state fair, theme park, festival, or wherever else this summer, you'll be stylish and have zero worries about your dogs barking at the end of the day. *woof woof* A plated, jewel-embedded ring because you deserve a little treat, even if you can't splurge on a $1,250 Cartier Love Ring. 😭 Over 4,600 5-star rating customers have fallen in love with its simple, but luxe design, so why can't you?! Some mid-weight sweatpants that one TikToker swears are even better than the pricier Aritzia version because of how soft and cozy they feel when on. Personally, I don't believe there's a such thing as too much loungewear, and these cotton-blend essentials will quickly become your go-to comfort bottoms. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt, which is much cheaper than the popular Lululemon scuba hoodies ($118, btw) and allow you to effortlessly layer up in style. The lightweight cotton blend will keep you comfy while doing everything from running errands in the a.m. to catching up on your fave trash TV in the evening. An app-controlled Govee neon rope light for adding customized lighting to your space thanks to a flexible design that morphs into different shapes for unique backlighting *or* colorful decor. And compared to the pricey Phillips Hue rope lights, these won't cause you too much emotional pain when you click *add to cart*. So if you want to elevate the vibes of your Sims 4 gameplay, this an affordable option to add even more drama in your meticulously crafted PC soap opera! A comfy L-shaped modular sofa to turn your living room into the one of your dreams without having to splurge on a four-figure "cloud couch" from Restoration Hardware. The deep-seated cushions and versatile design will offer the same cozy look and you can enjoy a dreamy midday snooze knowing you didn't spend several months worth of rent on a couch. Hello, Hannah Montana? Pretty sure a steal like this is "the best of both worlds."

Where Did All My Sweet, Shy Chinese Students Go?
Commentary I have taught economics in large American universities for over 40 years. I often taught very large classes and thus probably encountered several thousand Chinese students over the years. Some of the nicest students I have ever known were Chinese and so were some of the least nice.
