We all want nice things, but that doesn’t mean we can always afford them. Below are four products that garner the same quality as your favorite name-brand products without breaking the bank.

Lululemon Pace Breaker Shorts

Lululemon’s Pace Breaker shorts are lightweight, soft, and quick-drying. The breathable blend of polyester and elastane wicks away sweat quickly and allows the thighs room to move freely. They’re perfect for both lounging around and working out. COOFANDY’s Gym Workout Shorts are just as breathable and light at a fraction of the cost.

AirPods took the world by storm, but if you’re looking for a more affordable option, consider EarFun’s Air True Wireless Earbuds. Reviewers rave about battery life, cancellation of background noises, and overall sound quality. If that isn’t enough to sway you, the 18-month warranty and 30 days no-questionsasked return policy might help. Drunk Elephant’s T.L.C.

Sukari Babyfacial exfoliates your pores and resurfaces the pore lining. Fans of the product can’t stop talking about how it brings back skin brightness and a youthful glow. The only downside? 1.69 oz of this will cost you $80. Fortunately, The Ordinary’s AHA 30% + BHA 2% Exfoliating Peeling Solution costs one-tenth of the price and produces the same results.

Walk around Carlmont, and you’ll find puffers everywhere. Everyone has their eye on The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse jacket, but the price tag can make it hard to justify purchasing. You can look just as stylish with Uniqlo’s Ultra Light Down Short puffer jacket. Compressible and lightweight, it’s 90% down and keeps you warm on the coldest of days.
