What items will you buy in GENERIC?

I use some generic brands. But, I prefer store brands. I am very frugal when it comes to shopping. If I can't get it fresh I will buy frozen and always have a couple of cans of vegetables, fruit and soups on hand. Quick and easy is great. Coupons are good too, if you find a coupon for an item that you actually use. The coupons that are offered in flyers are for items that we do not use regularly. Why spend money on things you don't normally use. That isn't thrifty.

Yes, never ever buy cheap toilet paper...Charmin only for me:) I also can't go cheap on laundry detergent. I guess if I am going to go cheap on anything maybe generic brand green beans....even then. I don't go cheap on much. OH! Well, yes, I guess meds. Thats about it though.

medicine is so expensive so i will buy generic medicines.

We buy a few generic things when we shop. Some of the things are medicines, tissues, paper towel, frozen veggies, fruit cups and some cereals. There are a few of the store brand cereals that my kids prefer to the name brand stuff. Most of the other stuff you can't really tell a difference.

Some food items I will but when it comes to things like electronics and such I try to stay away from the generic stuff.

i bought vitamins, specifically vitamin C in generic. i had no problems with it, tissue i also bought a less known brand since others are sold at a higher price. i have tried energy drinks too (store brands)

Living with only one income, I try to cut corners when I can. Sometimes, it's just not worth it. The only things so far that I buy generic are over the counter meds, my sons formula, (after consulting his pediatrician)and frozen vegatables. I've learned most of the frozen veggies are made and packaged at the name brand factories.

I will buy generic prescription medication because it has the same effect as the original name plus it is cheaper. I will buy most thing in generic but I will not buy generic foods from the supermarket. I will buy brand name foods, not the store names. No generic toilet paper for me either. :-)

I don't mind buying most foods in the generic brand! I save so much...well it all adds up to savings. I don't really buy generic baby food, instead, I buy either gerber or earth's best (they are organic). I do NOT buy generic diapers...we tried that and it did NOT work...lol. I don't mind buying generic wipes though.. We don't buy generic sodas either... :)

I think its ok to buy generic, because one thing: There is some crisis happening on people wallets, and because a big ammount of that generic products, are produced by the same companies that have the normal brands, and most of them have the same quality.

We buy almost EVERYTHING in generic with the exception of ketchup (it has to be the 57 varieties brand) and macaroni and cheese dinner (the brand initials rhyme with LADY). I was laughing when I read your post. We buy whatever toilet paper is the cheapest (counting rolls and sheets and cost), so sometimes its generic and sometimes we get lucky and it's a better brand.

I buy mouthwash in generic, but not toothpaste. I use to buy generic toilet paper but I learned my lesson. I buy Kroger brand cola or walmart or regular Diet Coke. I don't like some of the generic colas. Most of the Otc meds I buy store brand or generic.

I'll buy most things generic if possible. The only exception really is with my soda pop. The only reason for that is I drink diet and many of the generics don't agree with me, they give me migraines so I have to be careful. Everything else though if I can get it generic I'll at least try it. Some generics I have found I like better, like mac and cheese.

I used to be so picky about a lot of things. But I can honestly say now, I cannot think of one thing I would not buy in generic. Even my TP. Although I do have a favorite so when I find it on sale with my coupons, I stock up on it. =) But really, generic is fine with me on everything. however, the good thing about coupons is, I don't hardly buy any generic. When something is on sale and I have a coupon, it's cheaper, by far, than the generic brand. So as much as I ~would~ buy generic, I usually don't have to. Weird how that works, huh.

I buy several different things in generic, well actually alot! I do not and will not like yourself go towards low quality toilet paper, it is more expensive in the long run because you have to use so much more. I also don't buy my laundry products in generic because it doesn't work as well as leading brands.

i prefer pharmacological items
