HomeI know some people scoff and are all about labels, but I'll buy generic, store-brand products in place of the more mainstream name brand s in a second. How about you?

Are you willing to buy generic?

Yes, except for macaroni and cheese and now, magic erasers. Plus I only use certain house cleaning stuff.
If I try it and it sucks, then I don't buy it again, but I'll give them a shot!

I sometimes give them a try, but 8 out of 10 the original brand is better.

IA. I'm not 'above' buying off-brand, but I can usually taste the difference between it and the more familiar tag. But I'll buy store brand milk in a second.

I don't see so much "generic" stuff like there used to be but I buy almost everything store brand at the grocery (Publix) and drugs (Walmart).

Some things like Milk, Water and even some canned vegetables are not bad buying generic.

It's funny because milk is one of the only things I'm careful about. I don't want my kids ingesting extra hormones so I only buy organic milk, or if it's not available, milk that says it's not treated with hormones.

YW, a lot of store brands DO use cows that aren't treated with growth hormones, but Walmart, for instance, doesn't. At least they don't put it on the label so I wont buy their "Great Value" milk.

If by generic you mean items such as a can of peas with a black and white label that just reads, "Peas" then no. We'll buy store brands of some items.

For minor food items, like milk, butter, salt, sugar, etc., generic brands can be decent. Especially if you are trying to save a few dollars. Things like laundry detergent and soap, however, need to be a brand name.
