Do you always buy name brands?

literally everything my parents buy are store brand.

No.

I buy what we can afford I buy generics, I buy store brands, I buy Aldi's. My dog loves the latter's dog food at 59 cents a can.

Only if cheaper brands aren't as nice.

That matters. We do our shopping at Walmart and have been quite pleased with their store brand Great Value(tm) If I am going to cook something special like home made chocolate chip cookies, cakes, etc I will buy top named brands. That being said I discovered very quickly the Great Value toilet paper we indeed a GREAT VALUE in price but was the equivalent of 20 grit sandpaper so that was taken off the list and back to the store.

when i can aford it lol

I'm not so concerned about brand names as I am with ingredients and where something was made.

First of all I only buy things (foods that is) that say Natural Flavors, and it has to be Listed as: Natural flavors. Anything else is "artificial flavors" that some computer program thought tasted the same or some chemical technician mixed up with god knows what substances that are not natural in nature!



Second I don't purchase anything from all 48 of the Asian nations because their quality control is so far below that of what we expect here in the United States and time and time again Americans have fallen victim to Asian products and foods that made people sick and killed out pets, as the pet food China sold to America that killed hundreds of family pets because of poor quality control and greed for the American dollar.



So Name-Brands I could care less about, it's what's inside I'm interested in!

No

depends though

I haven't bought name brands for a long time. I buy the store brand.

DEPENDS ON THE PRODUCT... AND THE PRICE.

Store-brands whenever possible.

It depends greatly on the product.

I often buy brand, synonymous with quality !

i love Walmart,,,

there are brands i like, but i think, who cares? its the same type of thing, i just go for the cheapest.

Unless I have a problem with the quality, I buy what's cheapest.

only

I buy mostly store brands and generic.

I buy generic cough drops and I buy generic Flowmax

My purchases are based on ..
quality at a reasonable economical price (must be a value purchase)
and ..
most importantly ..
is it TRULY Needed (as in at this time .. )

IF not .. then it can wait until the savings comes along ..

Only my handbags & shoes

The only difference between generic and name brand is fancy packaging. I don't need to pay more for fancy packaging.

Not always. I have a large family (I'm one of five, soon to be six, kids) three of which have several medical conditions, ALL of us have asthma except one lol. When it comes to things like clothes and jewelry we actually try to go homemade. I don't really mind that part though, my mom is VERY talented when it comes to those things and you can't even tell they're homemade.

Some store brands are just as good and cheaper.

It depends, sometimes I do if I really like the brand.
Example: I absolutely love Steve Madden shoes, that is one brand name I will always buy.

What a waste of money

i have certain brands I like, not necessarily name brands.

Especially with cloths. I buy whatever is cheap and looks good

yes and no sometimes i do sometimes i dont

nope

My purchases consider a combination of quality and price; names mean far less.

Does Sally-Ann count? Try ones in better neighborhoods around town

It depends on the product. Bleach is the same no matter the lable. Cheerios, on the other hand tastes better than the generic imitaters out there. For medications, you have to look at the active ingredient. Generic ibuprofin works just as well as Motrin, which is ibuprofin with a fancier lable.

Depends on what I'm buying. If it's pain reliever or allergy medication, I usually buy store brand.

Depends on the product.

no

The same companies that make famous name brands make the same products that are no name.In fact a Nike is no better in quality than a no name product.One is not paying for quality of product but for a name.

As long as the quality is close, I go with price.
