Do you buy generic or name brand?

I find it somewhat ironical that you only buy name brand clothes like those listed above, and I haven't heard of a single one of them! So much for branding, eh?

I just think it is funny. I wonder if it is regional? I don't think I have heard of them. I will have to ask the girl down the street.

I've heard of them before. I myself like to go for Areopostle, Ambercrombie etc.

I've heard of the brands Alicia listed too. Yes, it is MOSTLY teenager stuff, though, my brother wears those brands and he's 30.

We buy mostly name brand stuff, but we do buy a few genaric things. I too get $200 to spend on school clothes, and I spend it all at Hollister, Abercrombie, and Gordmans. Although, when I shop at Hollister, and especially Abercrombie, I have a very hard time paying $30 - $40 for a t-shirt, so I usually only buy what is on sale. Hollister has great sales, bringing a t-shirt price down to $10!!

For Christmas, I usually ask for gift certificates to Abercrombie, that way I dont feel so guilty.

Gordmans is great too, $25 for a pair of Sliver jeans, which are usually anywhere from $60 - $100.

for food, some things have to be name brand like soda..I only drink diet pepsi and if soda is on sale and it's generic, I will drink it. certain cereals have to be name brand or it's not as good tasting imo. any other food, it doesn't matter.

and for clothes, it doesn't matter although I like to wear lei jeans..because they are comfortable but the rest doesn't matter.
