| I 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? | |

| 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. | |

| 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. | |
