I've always tried some store brand items...even before the economic downturn and I've found many of these brands to be just as good as the name brands.
-
I pretty much buy what I have always bought. Even though the economy is bad, my husband and I both have our jobs and continue to make good money. To say we wouldn't buy non-brand items if money were tight would be wrong. It is is cheaper and is the EXACT same product, why not do what you have to do to get what you need for your family.

I don't mind using store brands. If I have coupons and can get name brand cheaper than I do that and stock up. There are some things that just aren't as good in store brand, but in most things I don't mind or even like some better.
-
It depends on price and the coupons that I have. I can typically get name brands cheaper with a coupon and a sale.
-
Certain products that I have found for store brands are pretty comparable to brand name products, but other products I can make the distinction. So, it will definitely depend on the product and whether or not I feel that the quality of the product satisfies my needs.

Acme has a store brand that is all organic- it's great! When I try to buy all organic, it's usually outrageously expensive, but the acme brand is a great value and organic.
-
I always stick to the product I like best be it a name brand or store brand. Lately with the current economy grocery stores have introduced a lot of new store brand products, the ones I have tried have been very good.
-
Many of the store brands are just as good as the name brands... and cheaper! Especially with the store brand pain relievers and vitamins, why buy brand name since store brand has the same exact ingredients!
-
I am a coupon shopper and the store brands are NEVER cheaper if you do it right. I always buy name brand.
-
If I have a coupon and it's on sale I will buy the name brand because it will come out cheaper than the store brand. Other than that, I have no problem buying store brands to save a little $$.
