Cheap but infinitely worse

I went to our local discount store yesterday to pick up some things I needed. And I came back with a lot more, as it always goes. 

One of the things I brought was a pack of cheap sticky notes, as I was nearly out on my standard sized ones and I use them a LOT. 

I unpacked them today and they barely stuck to each other. I had figured no name brands would have figured out the glue by now, but nope. 

I bought the branded sticky notes again and count my losses on the cheap ones. 

It’s once again a lesson for me to not always go for the cheapest option, but for the one that always makes me want to use it. 

I will find a use for the cheap ones, probably for a collage or something, but for my planner there’s only one brand from now on, even if it’s more expensive than I like.
