Generic products VS Name Brands

    When you go out and buy something, do you usually pick up the generic version of that product or are you the type which only goes for the name brand only. Or maybe you do a mix like some generic items can't beat the name brand quality...

    I go for generic products most of the time unless its like electronics or something then I go for the name brands.

    Depends what it is.

    Electronics I often go for the name brand.
    Clothes i'll go for anything that fits comfortably and at least looks half decent.
    Food, pretty much anything that is cheap and edible, unless I want to make a nice meal for someone, then I will go with more expensive better tasting food. I don't really mind what I eat TBH.
    Other things it depends.

    It depends on the quality and the price. For clothes I'd buy generic products if its good but for big ticket items like camcorders or LCD tv's I'll go for well known brands.

    I try to steer away from generic brand names but I don't avoid them completely.

    I always buy the brand name product, except for food.
