Are You a Total Designer Label or Name Brand Only Person?

There are people in this world that won't buy anything but designer fashions, I not that type of person. If it fits and looks good I buy it. On the other hand I do buy name brand food items and toiletries because I tell the difference in taste, feel and looks. I buy name brand toilet paper, cereal, milk etc. How about you, do you settle for less than the designer fashions and name brand food and toiletries and other items?

I am usually a bargain hunter. It has been a habit for me for years. I do like to buy name brands of clothes and other products but it is just for the fact that I need to save my money. Today's economy slump has a bad effect on a lot of people. Believe me, if I had more money I would pay through the nose for some of those designer clothes! I do agree that certain brand name items such as cereal, milk etc do seem to have a better quality overall.

I don't give a flying fig about designer labels. I buy what I like, and what I can afford. I like what's comfortable, and I like my clothes to be very plain. I don't need to draw a lot of attention to myself because of what I am wearing. The plainer the better.

if it is comfortable then i will buy it as long as it fits me. clothes are the one who is easy to come and easy to go. so i dont have to go for designers. i can buy generic with almost the same style like what they teach on LOOK FOR LESS. when it comes to food i dont buy generic. i buy branded soy sauce for example. i also buy branded soaps and shampoo.

I am but not because I am superficial and rely on the name brands for social status, but for the quality of the product. I find that I get much more longevity and maitance out of branded clothing than I do with lesser brands.

I do not buy designer labels, they are way to expensive for me. I think I had a pair of designer jeans once but that was it. I like to buy the cheap brand name clothes. There is so much choice and they are so cheap, you do not mind if it gets ruined or shrinks in the wash. At the moment with the credit crisis I am buying a lot of brand name food. I am surprised that some of it is really tasty and you would not know the difference from the real ones. Yes you are right the cereals are excellent and the toilet paper is good. Even if I have more money in the future I am going to stick to a lot of these products.

If I like the wayit looks and feels then I buy it if I can afford it. I live within mymeans and could care less what name is on the label. As far as food and toiletries I do have some preferences but I can scale back if I need to.
