So when you are out shopping, do you automatically get named brand products if there is also a cheaper version of the same thing(generic)?


What about clothes? Do you buy name brand expensive clothes?

Name brand clothes don't matter to me, but name brand products, particularly some food items do taste better than generic.

I'm usually for the generics with everything but soda. I like diet coke.

Clothing I get what I'm looking for. If the fabric stands up well, I buy it. If it's name brand, fine. I like ****ies pants, for instance. If it isn't name brand and I like it, I'll buy that instead.

Depends on what I'm buying. When it comes to clothes most of my stuff is name brand stuff it seems to last a lot longer.

Usually brand name.. for clothes i get brand name, but at cheaper stores.

WHATEVER IS CHEAPEST
ALLOT OF TIMES ,STORE BRAND CANNED OR BOXED FOOD IS JUST AS GOOD IF NOT BETTER THAN NAME BRANDS

As far as food goes it depends on the item I am after
Some of the name brand things just taste better
Clothes

well if there for my kiddo that also depends on what I'm buying
she grows out of them so fast I'd be broke if I bought all name brand stuff but like jackets and stuff I always buy name brand ones so she can't wear them out lol

Buy name brand, but allways after it has been out for a while, so i can buy it on sale

I get what I like

I normally get a little of both at the grocery store. Stuff for my son is all organic.

I usually buy clothes at Target, Old Navy, Ross, TJ Max, places like that.

I'm a coupon junkie, so I buy almost all name brands, but at really reduced prices, usually cheaper than the generics.
Things like aspirin and all, I get Wal Mart brand because it is so much cheaper.

well when it comes to food i go to aldis and they are low cost and generic.when it comes to house hold things like power tools i go with the best.with clothes for me i go to good will for work.and i have so meny clothes i dont have to buy none for years.when i get for my daughter she gets the best of everthing.i can go with out.she is my everthing and i take care of her.

The funny thing about generic vs non-generic is the outside label. Most of the generic food are actually made at the brand company but label generic. Being from Bay City,Mi we have a big name sugar company yet they make the generic for meijer/walmart. So u are actually buying the same stuff just cheaper. I will not buy generic on laundry soap, toothpaste, tampons....thats funny eh?

Groceries - mostly generic, but for some things, name brand is better.

I like well made clothes that start out expensive - I like Coldwater Creek or Talbots when they are on sale - skirts start out at $108 and I buy them when they are down to $30 - sometimes less. I also get good name-brand clothes brand new on Ebay. Sometimes the local department store has these yellow dot specials where you can get name brand clothes for 80% off.

I would never pay full price for clothes.

Interesting....


When I'm out shopping I also love to do some people watching as well. I am always so nosey about what people buy, since you can almost sense how their life is kinda like. yeah im weird.

Well when it comes to clothes I could care less.

But...... when it comes to food I tend to go with the name brand due to taste.

Now a lot of meds you get at times if you will read the generics are the same thing word by word.

i buy store brands when i can but my frozen veggies are name brand.I shop in thrift stores for clothes but when i buy new it is usually the good quality so they last.I use coupons and shop sales so I save money that way.

people watching is fun they are a trip.

I'm easy going and not picky about much (yes sometimes men I date )

I usually do generic...except cheese...you can't mess around with cheese

My Mom is a really bad penny pincher .... she buys generic everything and goes for the cheapest possible . Which is not always better .... I splurge on bath stuff , parfume , shoes and jeans . Name brand bath products work better . Name brand parfume lasts longer . Name brand shoes will last 3 times as long as a cheap pair and name brand jeans just fit better .
Buying something because its cheap or off brand isnt always best it will more than likely need to be replaced quicker .. as far as food goes I buy the generic stuff with only 2 exception cheese and soda . I like expenisve cheese and CocaCola only .
