It all depends. On jeans, I always go for levis for me and my kids as they are the best fit and wash and wear wonderfully. MY boys always go for the branded shoes and I don't mind paying the extra price for these as they are good quailty. Other than that, I go for the things with out a brand name. Usually they are just as good as branded but a lot less $$$.

As far as clothes Im not really into wearing name brand things BUT when it comes to my purses they have to be name brand, my 2 favorite name brands purse makers are Babyphat and Coach..they have really nice ones.
My makeup of course has to be name brand too..I like Mac for their eys makeup and Sephora for their lipglosses.
I like to buy purses and makeup name brand because I like their stuff and If I got the money why the heck not LOL

I am a big thrift store spender, that is where I prefer to buy my familys' clothing. I can get good used clothes, and most of the time they are brand name, I just never have to pay the full price. I look for quality in the clothing, and I am really big on finding something that I like the looks of and if it is my size I will buy it, name brand or not. I have not bought any new clothes for myself for quite a few years, I have been thrift store shopping for about 6 years now. I find really good buys, especially if they have bag sales. Then I get a paper grocery bag stuffed with clothes for my family for $3.00! I find a lot of name brand clothes, mostly for my son, he is at the age where it is important to him.

I just buy things that I like. It doesn't have to be branded. I just like the way it looks. If I am shopping, I go to thrift stores and they have branded items that I sometimes get. I don't pay full price for branded items. I don't see wasting that much money on it.

I don't look for branded items when I go shopping. I usually prefer to buy the lesser known brand names because I have discovered too many brand name clothing manufacturers who cut corners on their clothing construction, and come out with items that fall apart way too easily. If I had to pick a favorite, though, I own quite a bit of Tripp clothing, and it seems to hold up reasonably well.

I buy everything that's without brand names. One of the reasons would be I can't really afford it, but if I could, I still would choose having non-branded stuff because I always think that I could make better use of those money. But for skincare and makeup items, I do usually go for more branded items, after all, they are on my face and I would really want to make sure they're of the best qualities. For skincare, I usually use organic brands like Apivita, or natural brands, like Avene, Vichy. And for makeup, I fall for MAC cosmetics and Bare Escentuals.

I generally go for branded clothes and cosmetics. But when it comes to bags and other stuff, i prefer cheaper alterntives without completely disregarding the quality factor.

Yes! I always get branded clothes(Ex: Aeropostale)and shoes(Ex: Etnies). I can't be regular. Also, most branded things last longer than others. Only once in a while I buy things that aren't branded.

Hi,
I look for better quality in less cost and that too attractive, whether it is branded or not is my second option. If I get a branded with a good affordable price and better quality I would opt that and in case it is not branded and looks like a branded one with high quality and affordable price I would opt that. Importance I give is for those products with better quality and its attractiveness compared to price if affordable and justifiable.

well, i really only wear juicy couture, which are famous for their sweatsuits. I usually only buy the ones that have the logo on it, because they're very spendy. they come in sepaerates, and they cost about 100-200 dollars each. im not going to spend 200 dollars on a plain pair of sweatpants. that would be a waste. but you are probably thinking that its a waste anyways, but really, buy a juicy sweatsuit once. you'll be hooked!!

I must admit, I'm really into branded clothes. And I also must admit that I only buy those branded things during sale. I'm a girl who can be fashionable in a low budget. And those branded clothes have really good quality.
