For me since brand name are expensive I choose the price. There are items that is cheap and yet almost the same as the branded ones, not the fake ones, but with good quality as the branded ones. You just take note where the item is from, what it made of, the quality and quantity. But as long as it is the right price I buy it.

Before I always buy branded clothes because my mom always feel annoyed at me when I wear not branded shirts but now that I have my own family and I need to budget our expenses I become more practical specially when it comes to clothes. I buy clothes with low price but almost the same quality of branded shirt. Me and my husband also discover a store that selling branded shirts but in low price because that shirt is not from shopping mall and they sell it with its factory price. Super affordable.

For me, I go more for the style, quality and price, never for brands. Brands are just meant to show-off, which I don't really like. The most important elements in a product are... Style - If it really suits you... Quality - It must be in good condition and able to last long and not spoil easily... Price - It must be affordable for me or I don't mind paying a bit more if its really worth paying for the style and quality.

i really go for quality nor brand nor price .But its obvious that good quality product you will get in branded things and quality increase the price . so quality and price walk together .So i will prefer brand stuff if i want something good.

This really depends. When I had all the children living at home, I'd go for the more expensive shirts on the boys because of the quality. Those shirts went through all 4 boys before they wore out. To me that is savings. Now that I'm down to 3 children at home (1 girl, 2 boys )I go more for price because it will only go through one child. To be honest I can get name brands at great prices at local discount or consignment stores. People are big into that here. My girl got a pair of sketchers for about $3.00 at one of them and they were about new. I think when stretching the dollar there are more places available now then we had when I was a kid. I'm a thrift store shopper and compared to the big department stores, I've saved a lot of money.

These days Brand names have become synonymous with high fashion and upmarket values, a fact that allows manufacturers to laugh all the way to the bank. However just a brand name does not assure the optimum quality of a product if it is not backed with a more reasonable price tag for it to be popular. If a reasonably priced ware from a local manufacturer satisfies the needs of the customer, then nothing like it. These days aggressive marketing hikes up prices to cover up for the branded products and it is the customer who ends up coughing up more, but intelligent customers like you brings them down with a thud. Happy shopping.
