Default Which are better?

Probably a silly question, but do you think Name Brand products or UnBrand(like store brand) products are better?

Just curious

Hmm.. depends on what it is, really. For example, I like Coca Cola better than store bought coke, but I like Stop & Shop's cinnimon rolls better than Pilsbury

Hmmm I know, I buy store brand canned veggies and they are just as good as green giant or other brands.

Sometimes there's not much of a difference and sometimes there is

It all depends.

I don't think it matters with Frozen veggies. If there is someone who is NAME struck you can fix them by pouring Generic Ketchup inside the HEINZ bottle.*l*

Depends. Most drinks and foods I buy the name brands, but for quick snacks or whatever, I buy the generic. So much cheaper. Unless I have a coupon for it. Then I get the namebrand. Coupons = love.

So true, some generic foods suck, and some generic clothes can be just as good as designer brands IMO

Hmm I am picky about pop, once in a while I will buy generic pop but it's only certain generic brands though. Sometimes it depends on how much money I have

I def. won't buy name brand cereal, I won't pay $5 a box for cereal Generic to me usually is just as good as the name brand

I buy name brand breads more often than not though

I buy mostly generic stuff. Most of them taste just the same, or even better than name brands. Just for a few exceptions I like to save $$
