Generic or Namebrand

[Dedpuhl]

Do you buy the generic form of stuff (food, medicine, etc..) or do you spend extra and buy the name brand?

I tend to buy all my medicine generic, 1/2 my food generic, and all my clothes namebrand. Namebrand clothing, especially nike and hilfiger, seem to last twice as long than brand-X at walmart...

a little bit of both.

for aspirin, generic.

for RAM, namebrand.

I can't stand a lot of no name food. Especially pop and chips. Clothes..it depends on what it is. Sweat pants, track pants and the like I always buy name brand, because they last. But for dress clothes, whatever looks the nicest.

[Prodigy^]

always buy brand clothes and higher quality electronics from brand names......there's just too much junk out there

food....mostly brand, I prefer quality food.

medicine.....lol my country isn't large enough to contain a 'generic' and a 'brand' name for most medicine, which is fine really.

I buy almost everything name brand except prescription medicine.

for computer/electronics always name brand. for food, always generic

mostly namebrand.. but sometimes not on clothes. like I have a hard time shelling out an extra $60 for a shirt just because of the logo on it, if I find a nice looking shirt for $20 I'd get it. 'cept for shoes of course, get name brand on that
