Washing Up
I know some people who would never stoop to buying a store brand over a name brand, regardless of their financial situation and the price. I find this rather funny.
For example, if you're buying canned beans, does it really make any difference if they are Bush's Best or the store brand? Chances are, they came from the same place. If I'm buying canned tomato sauce because good fresh tomatoes aren't available I've found no difference between the store brand and the name brand. Same thing with dried pasta. Same thing with frozen vegetables. The only difference I've ever found is name brands have a nationally (in the U.S., at least) advertised name on them. They generally cost more unless they are on sale and you have a double-coupon.
Things like toilet paper and paper towels aren't food-related so I'm not talking about those items.
How say you? Are you a name brand only shopper or do you buy store brands?
