Are You Brand Loyal?

[No Time to Shoot]

Perfect examples of why we are no longer customers but consumers......The customer was always right the consumer is told what is right!

BP Gas because of the rebate

I'm real picky about my toothpaste, but I'll buy any model of Porche.

Uhhh...
What does Porche make?

Not really brand loyal all that much. I try to buy where it helps people near/dear to me out. But I have to make decisions based on what my family needs.

I can't think of one thing that I try to buy just based on mfr, brand, label, name, etc. Mac OS is the top one that comes to mind. But I now run it on a Dell Mini 9 laptop and Dell Vostro A90 laptop. So, Apple had nothing to do with those.

I pay for Quality. Lesson I learned as a child from my Grandpa. Make sure what you are buying is capable of outlasting you. If not make sure it has a lifetime warranty!

I use only Valvoline oil, drink Pepsi, drive Chevy Trucks. We normaly buy from small bussineses around town to help them support their families, The Waltons have enough.

The problem now is finding things of quality. The most expensive is not nearly as good as it use to be. The cheapest is generally just that... cheap.

In groceries, I have found that generic is usually just as good if not better than name brand items. I usually go for the cheapest item then in groceries. If it's bottled water though, I am very picky about that. Some water has a taste and I don't like it. I buy Ice Mountain if/when we buy bottled. I only drink tap water when I have to. I realize that bottled water may very well contain the same stuff that's in my tap water. The problem is, I have seen what's in my tap water. It was a mistake letting someone show me that. If I don't know it then it won't hurt me... hehehehe... We ended up buying a $5000 water purification system for our house. We were going to buy a water softener anyway but then ended up buying this because of letting someone show me what's in our water. I have not had them back to show me how it is now but we're happy with our water for showers and laundry, etc.

back on topic....

I usually always buy Sunbeam bread. I use to buy Wonder and then the Sunbeam guy was at Meijer when I was there picking up bread. He promised me that their bread was just as soft and cheaper than Wonder. He was correct. So I now only buy wonder. My sister says that Kroger brand bread is really soft. I have yet to try it.

I do buy only Oscar Myer deli fresh 1lb lunch meat. I prefer the chicken breast but I do buy the Turkey also for Scutter. This is actually his preference. He doesn't usually care what I buy but this is the lunch meat he prefers because it doesn't have gross bits, etc. in it.

Ohh soy sauce... It has to be Kikkomen. I won't buy anything else. Steak sauce.. has to be A1. Tissues have to be Puffs Plus and toilet paper has to be Northern (both of which come from Sam's Club).

Malt-o-meal cereals tend to be better than the brand names. Scutter says there are way more marshmallows in the Marshmallow Mateys than in the name brand. I think he prefers Raisin Brand though over the generic.

I guess the answer is... it just depends but over all I think it is price over brand name.

For a minute there, I thought I was listening to my dad but he's dead. He worked for GM and retired from there so he would only buy GM. He loved his trucks. He would only put Valvoline oil in all of the cars and he liked his Pepsi. Wow... thanks for the memories...

M&Ms... They make the only good candy coated chocolates.. Peanut M&Ms are my favorite. They are my addiction. I can't find anything to substitute either.
