Hi vinay049, I don't buy brand names products because we are just pay for the brand names and some of the stuff aren't that good. Tamara

When it comes to clothing brands and I can afford the branded ones I will have one. And I don't have a problem buying clothes that are not branded also. There are some nice and good quality clothing that are not too expensive.

Yes. Brand does matter on alot of things. There are some things that really do not matter to me though.

I do not pay attention to brand when purchasing clothing and accessories. I only pay attention to quality and style. I am however, very picky about the brands that I shop for when I am buying food. There are certain brands of organic food that are better than others. I also prefer certain brands of cleaning products for my home.

I don't care about the brand. And I think no one should . Because it doesn't matter at all, what brand things you have. The most important is, that they fit you. It can cost 100 or 10, but then 10 can look also better sometimes while the expensive one. I wear what suits me, some of them brand things, some of them not.

Not really. I'm not really a brand conscious person because I'm more into the quality of the product and that it would really makes me feel comfortable. But if I have the money to buy branded things, then I grab the opportunity. But in reality, we are just buying the Brand name not the product itself.

Brand is not much important for me.If we buy any food products,i consider it and for other items brand is not so important.If the price and quality is ok,then i purchase the product.For some products,non branded items last longer than a branded one.

Sometimes brands matter to me - like for certain medications (for example, I have GERD and will not take any other brand than Prilosec OTC - it works for me and the alternative is too painful) But with clothing, if it fits and looks good, I don't care who made it - Wal-Mart or Levi's - big whoop! Sometimes cereal can be an issue though - some store brands just don't taste the same (Frosted Flakes vs. Generic - ummm, yuk!) But like milk or eggs or vegetables, what difference does it make?

I do have to admit though, I splurged on a Dooney & Bourke pocketbook (bought on ebay) and I have had and used that same purse for the past 3 years and it's still holding up fantastic! Makes ya wonder where the expression "You get what you pay for" came from!

Hi there Vinay! I am not really particular with brands but I go for good quality which are often found in branded products but I don't mind trying other brands too.

sometimes, it depends on the stuff that i'm buying. most of the time i go for branded bags and watches. but for clothes and shoes i don't mind if it's branded or not- as long as it's pretty and fits me well i'll buy it!

I buy branded things because I believe that for every thing we buy there is this particular brand that is known that produces quality things of the sane kind.

Hello vinay049 I don't ever buy brands as they are always way too expensive and don't think I would buy them even if they were reasonably priced. I did however buy a small nike bag about a year ago but I did need a bag and this was going really cheap. I still would have bought it if it was any other brand!

i am not a brand conscious person, i don't care about brands either. what concerns me is how things, clothes, and shoes fit me. and as long as i feel comfortable with it, i am happy.

I am not that brand conscious. I usually enjoy the hand me downs stuff, and luckily I have been given signatured stuff. I buy stuff that are worth my money and if possible are affordable.

yes, it does! branded products tells the quality and the price that meets our needs.
