Recently, the economic news about stronger than expected retail sales, has given many a glimmer of hope! As shoppers however, we seem to be constantly looking for smart ways to save money.
If you were going to switch brands from a national brand to a less expensive brand, would you be more likely to do this for household products like paper towels/detergent or personal care products like face cream and deodorant?
We’d like to hear what you think!
More likely to replace a brand name household product (e.g., paper towlels) with a generic version (87.3%)
More likely to replace a brand name personal care product (e.g., face cream) with a generic version (12.7%)
I would replace my household items before a personal care item. I'm much more attached to my deodorant than I am to my paper towels!
I would replace household items before my moisturizer. Sometimes you can find generic household items that compare in quality but I don't take too many chance with this one old face I have!
myt I would replace household items with other products, but not personal items.
I would replace household items before personal care items because I have had some bad experiences with some non name brand personal care products.
I would replace a household product before a personal care item. It's hard to find a personal generic product comparable to a brand name.
Personal care products (like things you put on your face and body) are so sensitive and have to be just right for you. It's harder to switch to a store-brand version of something like that. Paper towels and such aren't so personalized, so they're easier to replace. In fact, I've slowly been replacing household products with generic brands anyway!
i would replace household items first. i am picky about my personal care products and would rather cut corners in other ways.
It would definitely be the household product. Replacing a brand name personal care product I feel, could lead to more costly repair of the results.
I would replace the household items first. I would not replace my personal care products until I absolutely had to!
I have switched to generic products for the house already but I cannot and will not switch my personal care products. I can't say that I haven't tried, but /veI always gone back to my origional personal care products mainly because they work better than any other.
