Considering the downturn in the economy, are you more likely to buy store brands (such as generic or private label brands)?

We all have our favorite brands.  The ones that no matter what the coupon discount is off that comparable "other" brand, we will still by our favorite.  With the current economic environment, are you more likely to switch from national brands to purchase less expensive store or private label brands?

Do you think the quality is comparable?

 

No, I will stick with the name brands that I know and trust (0.0%)

Yes, I will purchase more store brands to save money (0.0%)

The same - I won't change my brand preferences because of the economy (0.0%)

    I use storebrand for a few things, but generally I find it isn't worth the miniscule, if any, savings to compromise the quality of my food. And as others mentioned I coupon and you don't get coupons for store brands and they don't go on sale usually.

    You really have to compare prices when buying store brands. Sometimes with coupons, the name brands are cheaper. I shop at a Wal-mart super center and I save loads of money. Their produce isn't always cheaper than the specials that week at Food Lion, BUT...if you bring in the grocery store flyer, Wal-mart will give you their advertised price. Not a bad deal.
