Do you always buy the same brand? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. lilcee (2086)   ranked 5 out of 672 in shopping1 year ago

There are so many different brands of things now days. Do you buy the same things or do you try new things? For instance, I always buy the same brand of toilet paper and paper towels because I don't like the others, even if they are cheaper. There are some things I may try if they are cheaper or on sale but some things I won't change even if they are more expensive. I try to wait until there are sales or if I have a coupon so I don't have to pay more. Then I stock up and don't have to get that again until it's on sale again.

My husband always gets mad at me for trying so many different product brands...but I don't think you can form a fair opinion if you don't try them!

I buy what is on special offer! Because you can save a fortune that way, basically most things are the same but have different labels on them, from foods to clothes, big branded labels are always more costly, but you can get the same item just as cheaper if you shop around or buy a brand that is on special offer, usually a BOGOF when you can stock up as you do, if you have the storage capacity then you can do that no problem. With everything going up it pays to cash in on the special offers, might only be a £1 here and there but that soon adds up over a period of time. And most of the time you are only paying for the brand and not the product itself!


myLot reputation of 92/100. lilcee (2086)   ranked 5 out of 672 in shopping  1 year ago

I always watch for ads for things I know I need to get soon. Then I buy more than one. Thanks for the reply

yes and no. i like trying new brands. but if i find a pair of jeans that fit good and are great i will keep buying that brand. i may even buy 2 of the same color just because i know they will fit right and will last a long time


myLot reputation of 92/100. lilcee (2086)   ranked 5 out of 672 in shopping  1 year ago

Yeah, that's the way with me. I have a hard time finding clothes that fit right so when I do, I stick to that brand. Thanks for the reply.

I usually always buy store brands. I try to shop at the same couple of places so most of the time I do end up with the same brands. Unless something is having a great sale then it is always the same stuff. Sometimes a friend or relative will recommend something and I will try it. With a budget like mine though I usually search for the deal going on. Recently I have been getting great deals on unusual stuff because of local store closings and such.


myLot reputation of 92/100. lilcee (2086)   ranked 5 out of 672 in shopping  1 year ago

Yeah, I always look for ads for things I need and try to get them on sale.
Thanks for the reply, happy lotting

We will buy what ever is the least expensive, unless we know the other brand is bad. There are a few things that we only enjoy from a certai brand like BBQ sauce, but for most things we are not brand loyal.

Hi there lilcee

With some things I always stick to the brands like baked beans as I just don't like the other brands. I do try other more expensive brands when they are on offer but go back to my usual once the offers are over.

I usually buy the same brand. Lately I've been experimenting with whatever is on sale. Unfortunately that hasn't been working out so well. My kids tend to prefer what they are used to and reject new brands. Which means I end up wasting. So, I've decided to stay with the usual brands and stock up when they are on sale too.

It depends on what I am buying but generally I buy the brands I know. The dish washing liquid I use, is the only one one the market that I don't get a reaction from, my hands get very dry and itchy with nearly all the other brands be it name brands or house brands, so whenever there is a sale I stock up. There are other products like clothes soap that I have 3 brands and whichever is cheaper is the one I use the problem with some of the other brands is that they damage the fabrics. There are a few house brands I use as they are the same products only with cheaper packaging, where I live edible products tend to have a producer stamp and code and at times it is possible to match and thus buy name brands as reduced prices example there is a sweets company that has it's own brand and then it also sells to stores and they package it, however since the packaging is transparent you can see that it is the same thing.
