When buying things from the grocery, do you stick to a certain brand of product that you are using or do you always give new products a try? Do you use other products just because they are cheaper or would you go for a bit more expensive one with better quality?

I always go for economy. Not the cheapest but the most for the money! Of course, I often regret that decision and never buy that product again but, that's life, we live and learn. In a supermarket, the "own brand" items are often well known branded products just packaged for that particular store. Other times, it all depends on taste. I normally buy a cheap brand of coffee simply because it tastes better than the more expensive ones. But fruit juices are the opposite, the expensive ones taste better. There is a lot of trial and error involved!

Hi there Petersum! Thank you very much for your response. I always try new products and based on the result, I stick to it if it's better than my current brand. You're right. There's a lot of trial and error involved.

Friend I always buy the best quality, though they are costly, be it food, cloth, hairoil, cosmetcs, soaps, detergents or perfumes, cheap things i never buy, they are harmful in the longrun.. Thanks for sharing Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

Hi there Professor 2010! Thank you very much for your response. I agree, more often than not, when one product is too cheap compared to the other brands, they are usually lower by standards.

I always want to get the cheaper one in buying groceries...very seldom I will pick expensive stuff sometimes we are paying only the brand but the quality is the same though it's not true to all products!

Hi there Che Capricorn! Thank you very much for your response. You're right! It's always important to be practical and we should always consider the quality of the product. We should be critical with both.

I oftentimes stick to the ones that I have been using for a long time, since they are tried and tested as to quality. I try sometimes to purchase new brands and try them. I love finding products that are of good quality and very reasonable price. I also maintained products that are a bit expensive and which quality I cannot find in other cheaper brands.

Hi there Alicia 812! Thank you very much for your response. I know lots of people who really sticks to their favorite brand and would rather look elsewhere if the store they went into doesn't have their brand. I also love making "discoveries"-new but good products.
