    when I go to my local convience store normally what I do is compare the store brand to the leading name brand to see if they have the same active ingredients. 90% of the time they do.

    some store brand items are better the name brand which leaves some change in my wallet. So I have no problem buying store brand items.

    I do usually try another "name" brand but if I do compare the store brand and it has the same ingredients than I will try. I do feel though that there should be a website to go to, to get information on other name brands and store brands that people have left comments on.

    Store brands are usually just as good so I'll always give them a try. They are almost always the cheapest way to go unless you have a coupon for the brand.

    Many store brand products are comparable to name brands. Much more affordable and just as good. I always check the ingredients, and so often they are exactly the same as name brands.

    Store brands frequently have exactly the same ingredients - found next to the name brand, and I've heard rumor that the're frequently made by the name beand company but packaged for the store
