It depends on the particular item.  I have tried some store brands which I did not like
but for the most part I try to buy generic as much as possible.

Walmart has some generic products that are just as good as the real deal.

Lately I've been trying generic brands and some of them are good . . . but some aren't.

It depends on the price and how much the coupons is, but I get the generic some of the time.

I think it would depend on the item. Towards the end of my college degree, I was buying Walgreens brand soda because they were cheaper, and the taste was very much the same as the other version.

I buy generic for most things. There are a few items that generics aren't as good but most of the time they're just as good.

What Brand Do You Buy At  The Store When You Shop? I Buy Generic Unless The Item Is On Sale Or Has A Coupon :peace:

I usually buy generic but not without comparing the ingredients first!!!!

I'm lucky enough not to have copays with my scripts, so I generally go with whatever is prescribed and allowed by the pharmacy formulary.

I buy both name brand and generic depending on the product and what prices are at that time. Peanut Butter has to be Peter Pan, laundry detergent has to be Tide, toilet paper has to be Charmin Ultra Strong. Otherwise, I look for deals and coupons and get whatever is cheapest. Unless my husband is with me, he is more picky. If he doesn't see that I'm using a different brand, he's fine. But if he sees I've gotten something different, he whines about it.

Which ever has the best price for the same kind of product, I'll buy or if they have a coupon.   :thumbsup:

I always buy name brands, they are advertised on tv and they are more trustworthy because they come from a bigger company

I buy generic items, but there are some things I won't give up the name brand for. Sometimes quality is better than getting something cheaper, you know the old saying ya get what ya pay for.  ;D
