ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Informed consumer

Being an informed consumer means that you make really good choices when you buy things. You are like a superhero that can tell what's good and bad, and you can do this by asking questions about the products you want to buy. You can start by looking at the information that's on the package, or by searching the internet to learn more about the product.

By being informed, you can find out if a product is safe, healthy, useful, or worth the money you are spending on it. You can also compare different products and see which is the best one for you. In the end, being an informed consumer helps you make wise decisions and ensures that you get the best value for your money.
