which do you prefer?? Brand name food or generic?

Answer 1

For the most part, I use the house brand (generic). The local supermarket their house brand is pretty good. Also, at Costco their house brand is Kirkland which is pretty good too.

A lot of the generic stuff is packed at the same plants as brand names. Just a slightly different formulation and slap on a different label.

Answer 2

Depends on the food. If I enjoy the brand name better, I'll buy it. But a lot of generic brands taste just the same. I have noticed, though, that it seems some generic foods are not as good for you as the brand name. Many of the foods I looked at in a certain inexpensive store, had trans fats listed on the label, whereas the brand name equivalent did not.

Answer 3

Both, but mostly generic. Just because it's cheaper doesn't mean that it has less quality. Brand Name products are almost always the exact same product as generic brands but with a name that most people have heard of before.

Answer 4

Many generic foods are made by the brand name companies. I buy a lot of generic, but there are a few things I stick to brands for. Cereal, canned Chile, canned beans, bread, etc.

Answer 5

Depends on the product really. I do use both brand name and generic. However, I try to use fresh foods more than prepared foods.

Answer 6

It does not matter to me, but personally i prefer the brand name food because it tastes better, or at least to me. =)

Answer 7

Mostly generic. Especially frozen veggies and canned foods like veggies and beans. I know they're all processed at the same plants just get different labels. I make exceptions for Kraft mac & cheese and a couple other things.

Answer 8

brand name for most foods...and generic for certain things in specific. (spices)

Answer 9

Generic, in most stuff. I have to use Dawn dish soap...but most other stuff I'm good with great value (walmart)

Answer 10

brand name- better quality
