Name Brands vs Generic/Store Brand: WHich do you prefer?

[mrbizzard]

DO you prefer name brand items or store brand/generic items?

[ladavia89]

It depends on what it is but for the most part I'm fine with store brand items. The bigger companies actually produce the generic brands so there really isn't that much difference.

It depends on the prices & timing to be honest because sometimes name brands are cheaper then generic and most the other time generic are cheaper then name brand & sometimes im like hell with it ill buy which ever i please lol

[jford87]

I almost always buy store brand. There are a few products that I only buy name brand, though.

Well, my tongue has flat taste buds, generic brands are ok for hubby and me. But, when my children growing up, they did not like generic brands and I cooked with Name brands, milk too.

Like most people before me...
Generic is usually fine with me.
I prefer name brand, Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing and Dannon Oikos Greek Yogurt, but other than that, I almost always buy generic.

I buy the generic names because they are cheaper. There a few products that I do like to buy the name brand. Those choices I have found by experience are really better than the generic. There even a few prescriptions that I prefer the name brand over the generic. They just work better.

It all depends... but I do like name brands over generic brands. I use generic brands sometimes because they are cheaper, and I love name brands because they taste better, good quality, and last longer

What ever brand gives me the best price for the product, I'll buy.

What I like to do is compare the labels = then make a decision which one I prefer.  Sometimes there will be differences too great to choose the store brand item and other times the differences will be so minimal that I will go with the store brand.

It depends on the product. If the generic/store brand is just as good I will pick up that item because it will save me a few bucks. If the generic/store brand isn't as good I will spend extra money on a better product.

[nmbrown863]

I buy both depending on the product. Mostly store brand. I am always looking for way to save and most of the time the store brand/generic is just as good in my opinion.

It really depends on the product. Some of the generics I like better than the the brand names. They are actually healthier sometimes.

[Lindaroof]

It does depend on what the product is. Some Generic are ok but some things I have to get the actual named brand.

[rghvac69]

I try to buy generic because they're cheaper, but some brands are terrible.
