Do you buy generic or name brand?

Usually generic, unless I get it home and it's really inferior. then I get name brand. one exception - Only Pepsi is Pepsi. There's alot of Coke/cola generics, but nothing generic tastes like real Pepsi.

I try to find generics when I can - and since I shop at Kroger, I like the store brand of most foods. Some things, like COKE must be CocaCola. Cat food is name brand. Some generics are actually better I think - Kroger strawberry preserves beat out Smuckers easily

For clothing, I mostly buy at Wal-Mart and like their Faded Glory brand. For namebrand clothing - I do like Venezia at Lane Bryant

I have often heard that many products are the same and the brand labels are slapped on the same items. I know my three kids worked at a sandpaper making factory when they were younger and mass produced sheets of sandpaper that were wrapped in assorted recognizable name brands
