Topic: Name brand or Generic | |
---|---|
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.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 . |
