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.

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

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!

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.
