Buttercup you are from Canada right?If so i myself have never heard of them.Mind you they come out with new brand names everyday,I asked Becca and she new them all so i guess it's
a Teenager thing.

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.

I buy name brand food items like soda=diet coke,peanut butter=JIF, and ketchup=Heinz. My toothpaste also has to be name brand but my mouthwash can be generic. I also buy name brand cosmetics,shampoo and conditioner. My clothes can be generic but my jeans have to be Gloria Vanderbilt. The cat food I buy has to a name brand too. I guess I still buy more name brand items than generic.
