When you shop, are you brand conscious?

Are brands important to you? Are branded goods necessarily of top quality or are ordinary labels are just as good? What is the most expensive branded stuff you have ever bought?

I don't really care about brands that much. I usually get generic or ordinary labels just because they're cheaper. However, if there is a huge disparity in quality, I will buy brandname. The most expensive branded thing I have ever bought was a pair of Aldo shoes. God those were gorgeous shoes!

In a way, yes as the "branded" stuff looks better and seem to be of better quality. The most expensive item I have ever bought was an evening bag.

Most of the items I shop for, I really don't care what brand they are. I usually go for the cheapest. But there are certain foods that have to be brand names, like minute rice, kraft maccorroni and Chesse and Heinze ketchup.

I'm not concerned with brands all that much. I go for things I like and which fit me the best. I don't think I have a name brand at all in my closet..oh wait I have one sweatshirt: No Fear but that was present.
