I usually do get the store brand products. I save alot more money this way over time. Some items I don't get the store brand. I don't get the store brand sodas as I can't go without my Coca-Cola or Mountain Dew.

I use coupons and if I can get the items cheaper than the store brand, I do. I do have to have my Pepsi and Mountain Dew. I do buy store brand if it is better for my budget.

yeah the coupons can really help to make the brand names cheaper than store brands.

when it comes to some products like tissue papers and such if the brand product is cheaper then i will buy it. But not for the other products

WE dont buy store brand Canned goods as they dont taste right to us but we get most of the cans goods on sale so that works out good for us

Hey elmiko! I do try to buy the store brands as much as possible! You would be surprised to see how much money that you save if shop wisesly! I also shop when the things that I need are on sale in the store that I shop at and I get additional savings! Sometimes I can save almost $100 in one shopping trip if I plan correctly! I try to go grocery shopping once a month for the "main things" that I need, meaning for the majority of things I need for the month and then pick up a few things here and there during the weeks according to what I forgot or what the sales are after the week I shop! I can't do without my diet coke either and have found that the Diet Coke Store Brand is fine! I have gotten used to it and now I like it! For the items like Hellmans Mayo, Heinz Ketchup and other things that I must have the name brands I wait for the sales!

yeah coupons can go a long way for the dedicated saver but store brands i are a great way to save if you want to keep it simple.

I will often buy the store brand unless I have been disapointed in that particular item.

Most of the time I buy store brand items. There cheaper and I can't really tell the difference in taste. I'm sure there is a difference but I'm not a picky eater and so far I liked all the store brand items.
