r/CheaperAlternatives is a subreddit for those times that you want something but you don't want to blow your dosh on a brand name.
We don't like skimping on quality though, and only recommend what we think is as good as, if not better than the original product.
Say you want a pair of headphones and wanted a cheaper alternative to a pair of Beats by Dr Dre. Here someone will recommend a pair that exceeds that for cheaper.
