Depends on what i buy. Jeans, always branded. Diapers too...only Pampers. But stuff like pasta, sauce, certain household items like kitchen rolls, toilet paper etc, store brand. I trust Safeway store brand. Been shopping there for groceries every weekend for the past 5 years.

I will try generic, if I like I will stick with it. But there are some items I will never buy generic(store brand) on. My grandmother worked for Kraft, so when we where younger we had all the Kraft cheese products we wanted. So I will not buy anything other Kraft cheese.

I`m like angie, I`ll try the generic and if I like it I`ll stick with it. I try to buy mostly generic since it`s usually a lot cheaper and basically the same product :)

it really depends. food for the family, sure why not. but not mac n cheese in the box, ive tried other generic brands of mac n cheese and honestly its pretty gross. i shop alot at aldis and the veggies are good, their snacks and chips are good too, the kids dont know the difference. granola bars from aldis- my daughter likes better than quaker brand. i buy pasta, spaggetti sauce, cheeses, you name it all at aldis. the only time i buy brand name is when i have coupons and its already on sale, plus tripple coupon day! clothes it really depends. i dont want to buy stuff that will shrink or fall apart after a single washing. diapers and baby food i always bought name brand bc i hadnt found any generic i liked better. i dont spend alot of money on anything if i can help it, but there definatly is some truth to `you get what you pay for`. most of the time i hit clearance, end of season bins for name brand items. alot is just trial and error. =) i remember one grocery trip i saved around 260.00 just from my coupons and discounts. i ended up paying less for my bill than the coupon and sales total.so if my coupons bring name brand under generic i buy name brand.=)

I don`t buy anything generic brand for my daughter until her formula but I only started that this past month (She`s 7 months now) It saves me 60 a month and she loves it :) Otherwise...honestly I barely buy anything generic...maybe some clothes for myself for around the house...no food.

i try out the generic brands for most things and if i like them i keep it and if not i use the name brand. i just discovered target brand diapers and i love them, they seem to be a cross between pampers and huggies.

I hardly ever buy generic items, for some reason I have in my head that it`s `just not the same` as name brand.
