I use coupons whenever I can find them. Most of the coupons are for national brands. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy the big brand, with the coupon, than the store brand. I am not very brand loyal with my groceries. I will buy whichever is the best buy. I have one exception and it is for a brand of early baby peas.

i use coupons all the time as well when i go shopping!! it saves me money and im not really picky about the brand i choose. i just choose whatever is cheaper :)

I find that most of the name brand items at the stores are packed full of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and hydrogenated oils. I try to pick things that are as close to nature as possible. I do a lot of shopping at Trader Joes and Whole Foods Market. Also I save a bunch of money by shopping at Trader Joes. They are so fair with pricing. :thumbsup:

I'm only brand loyal with a few things: Heinz Ketchup, Best Foods Mayo, Steinfeld Pickles and Angel Soft or MD toilet tissue. Most other things I find store brands just as good. :wave: :wave:
-
If it's the same type of product, I'll buy which ever product has the lower price. Sometimes store brands has a lower price and sometimes they don't.
-
No I buy the cheapest available. Sometimes it's a brand name sometimes not. Whatever is cheap or on sale I will buy no matter what the brand.
-
I'm only loyal to particular things if I find I dislike the other ones. I typically will try the cheapest option and if I like it, I stick with it.

I buy mostly name brand! :thumbsup:
-
Only on a few items but usually I buy whatever is least expensive as long as it's a decent item.
-
I try not to be but ultimately yes I am brand loyal. In particular, I am loyal to the brands my mother introduced me to as a child.
-
I am NOT brand loyal on most things.
There very few things that I am picky about..... cheese is one of them. :)

I'm a major user of coupons too.

I'm not really brand loyal, I just use whatever works. Sometimes the store brand works better and sometimes it doesn't.

I used to but with having to walk blocks to the first discount store and its 12 to the name brand store. I choose to use the discount grocery store. Yes you pay more for meat and fresh produce but in other things you save.
-
some things yes, most things no.
lunchmeat, cheese, juice, ranch dressing can all taste
very different depending on the brand, so i usually stick
to the name brand (or the brand i like the best, which isn't
always "name")
no to mostly everything else! not too picky... just have
my favorites.
-
I'm not totally brand loyal on all items, but some yes, especially mayo. You can't compare a store brand to Hellman's!

A little more than have of my purchases are still national brands, but I have become partial to certain store brands as I feel they are of comparable quality. Things I stick with national brands are usually things like yogurt, paper tissue, condiments, majority of salty snacks, health and beauty products... I have begun warming up a little moreso to store brand cereals, a few other dairy products and maybe nuts.
