I buy what I need to for my menu that week. If it's on sale, Yippee! I buy some name brands only, like Best Foods Mayo, French's Mustard, Heinz ketchup, and Skippy Peanut butter. Sometimes generic is just fine.

I keep a stocked pantry and freezer, so generally I check sales and shop for what is on sale. The exceptions are produce and dairy which I get when I need them, although, I will forgo something if it is too expensive. Also, I shop once a month for staples, so the weekly grocery trips are quick and mostly for perishables.
I will buy some name brand items (Best Foods Mayo is a must), but many (most) things I will buy the house brand.

Sure. There's lots of stuff I only buy on sale, and stock up when it is. I generally wouldn't buy a name brand without trying the store brand first, to see if it's okay. And if I'm reaching for a product, I check to see which size and brand is cheapest this week. Why not? I'd rather spend my money on other stuff than on name brand broccoli!

I shop according to what I need, if it's on sale, then great. I may buy extra if there is a sale. I hardly ever have a coupon for what I want. There are certain brand names that I purchase, but when it comes to can goods corn is corn.

I try to shop what's on sale for the week, but if I'm really wanting something, I buy it, no doubt. I very rarely use coupons - mostly a waste of my time and energy just to save a quarter!
I do buy a lot of name brand items, but it really depends on the item. Some stuff I will try the store brand, but there are things - like Bounty paper towels - that I refuse to go cheap on....gotta be Bounty. Oh, and Barilla or Dechecco pasta, too. I don't buy a lot of packaged stuff, anyway...we eat a LOT of veggies and fruits!

I buy stuff on my list and look for the cheapest. Store brands are the same as name brands usually. And I only clip coupons for things I normally buy.

I am SOOO bad about paying attention to prices and buying on sale or with coupons. My budget is tight, but my time is tighter, so I just buy what I need/want and get in and out as quickly as possible. I know some women that are pros and get hundreds of dollars in savings every month. I need to learn from them & save some money!!!
