what are other brands of tube that are good quality, that isnt over 7 bucks

I would like to mention i rode on the 32c tires for about 6 weeks without an issue at all, i kept them at 85 psi at all times. A week after i switched over to the bontrager 28c tire, now i have these slices near the valve..twice now..and a third is probably coming up soon, hopefully not at high speed.*knock on wood*
