Do you prefer buying brand names or generic foods when grocery shopping?

I really like the brand names for I found that the genitric kind dont taste as good dont know why except they must be the last of the crop for every thing is smaller. in the veggies any how!

i go for the generic whenever possible,it's usually the exact same thing for all intents and purposes.there's a couple i prefer the brand name on,but that's only if i've tried the generic and it's lacking. i love the scratch and dent isle too.

For most things I just buy the store brand but for somethings I'll spend the money for the name brand. Mayo is one of those things...it has to be Miracle Whip, Hubby has to have Cabot cheese (it's like $9.00 a block but he loves it). Some things I have to buy name brand b/c I'm allergic to certain things...soaps, cleaners, shampoo's. I try to get stuff like that at Dollar General b/c it's still name brand but cost less.

Hello nixxi76, Mostly i try to buy organic foods! Doesn't matter if they are brand or ordinary foods, the most thing for me in grocery shopping is buying fresh, organic healthy foods. Have a great day!

I usually buy the name brand foods a the grocery store the generic brands usally taste really bland like there are no additives added so therefore there is no taste to the food. I guess I have always went by the saying you get what you pay for.

Certain things i have to have brand name like i don't eat generic hamburger helper because to me its just doesn't taste the same, but mostly i buy generic.
