Hi my friend, Certain items I will only buy name brand such as toilet paper, certain food items etc. I do tend to go to bargain or generic on some things too. I like a lot of the generic canned vegetables. What can they do to vegetables anyway? lol Have a great day! Char :-)

Hi CharRay7, thanks for the response, it is just really depends on the person, some loves to buy branded because of the quality but some buy branded, just to be noticed. thanks and have a nice day.

I usually buy both... It really depends on what I'm buying. If its clothes, I check on the feel of the material. There are some branded clothes whose material are a bit scratchy. I also wait for branded clothes that are on sale. When it comes to food, it depends as well. If I like the taste of it, then I go and buy it. If I don't, even if its from a famous producer, I still wouldn't buy it. =)

I am not into buying branded stuff.I know they cost a bomb.For the price a brand costs i know i can pick up several pieces for that price and most of the fake stuff do look so much like the original.i am more for a bargain.

Food I don't mind buying bargain. The bargain foods are sometimes name brand as well but when things are bought in bulk it is just alot ceaper then buying 1 item from the grocery store. Those that are name brand are not bad either becuase those items come from the same place the name brand foods come from. As for clothes, I prefer the name brand things. For the most part they are better quality then the bargain things. I hope I answered the question correctly.

it really depends if i would prefer to purchase a bargain or branded. for example one tym i ought to buy new shoes, i came to branded area first but when i came across to stores which sell bargains i saw shoes with the same color and just fit to my taste, i know the quality really is not as good as what the most expensive prod has but i just need it to wear everyday or trice a week. its just for my everyday use. for my special use i go for branded.

For me, it really depends on the quality of what I'm purchasing and how much I plan to use it. For food, it really depends on the taste of the food--if I don't like the taste, I'll be wasting the food throwing it out instead of using it and saving money. Clothes now are tougher...I've bought used clothes at the thrift store that have lasted longer than anything I've bought at discount stores (Walmart) that were a brand name. So they were used--if the jeans lasted more than a season, looked good and were cheap ($5 or less), they were worth more to me than a new pair from Walmart that fell apart or faded after one washing.

Hi scorpiobabes, thanks for sharing your opinion, yes i think its all depend on what we are buying, if about food, it still depend on the taste of it. but i think if things you are right, it is nicer to buy the used clothes which will be lasted for a long time than buying a new one which only lasted for a short time. thanks again and have a wonderful day. keep smiling ^_^

I almost always buy the bargain unless the name brand is on sale. The only thing I really insist on buying name brand is soup. I have to have Campbells. The others just do not taste right to me.

Hi lightningMD, thanks for the response, it all depends to us, if we think what we buy is nice already no need to buy the branded one, and i think its just how we care for it. if we bought branded then didnt care it right it still dont last, right? thanks and have a wonderful day. keep smiling ^_^

Hello dear rosema. I think that the best way to get both a bargain and brand name is the time when it is on sale with a lot of discount. I can always get a bargain with a brand name. Usually it is time when the shop does not have a series of the same goods and you can always get them at a much cheaper price. Have you ever tried this? Thanks.

What I like to buy and what I have to buy are two different things!!! I dont really have a choice. It always comes down to the bargains, and trying to get the best value for money :-)

usually depends from the product i want buy such as if is a product important or it is useful for my life usually i trey to choose not only because is a brand name but about the quality the product will reflect in itself!!surely there are also many other products which the are less important or useful everyday so i can choose to buy as bargain and save some money!!

Hi tonyllenium, thanks for the response, yes i think it just depend on our budget, if we can afford to buy branded go for it, but if not, what can we do? we just go for the bargain and take care of it to make it last for a long time. thanks and have a nice day to you. keep smiling ^_^

it depend son my budget and the style and design of the things i buy like in the clothes or shoes when i find nice design and color in bargain i buy it because its cheap and nice also but when i find red tag or sale tag in brand name i prefer to buy even little more expensive than bargain brand because its more good quality than the bargain clothes but about the other things like canned food, detergent i stick to the one i trusted to use even its branded or not.

Hi pinay81, thanks for the response, if we can afford to buy the branded one why not but if not its also ok to get the bargain. its just how we take care of our things that make it last. so even if its branded and we didnt take care of it still dont last, but even though its only bargain and we take care of it, it still can last for a long time. Nowadays its really hard to buy expensive things because life is very hard now.
