Are you brand conscious?

Some people could be brand-conscious when shopping for stuff. I think it is inculcated in our minds that these high-end brands equate quality but it comes with a high price at well. So, do you consider yourself looking at the labels when you buy clothes and shoes? If yes, what labels are your favorite when it comes to the things that you shop for the most?

I don't think brands make cloths any better or worse. If you shop and watch what you are shopping for you can get good deals and they will look good. I am a good will or salvation army shopper and I look closely at the cloths I buy. You can not even tell that I didn't buy them at a department store. I don't know the last time I shopped in a department store for cloths. The same thing is with food. There are a lot of things that I don't pay any attention to the brand name. Things like cheese, or ice cream I do though because there is a definite taste diference in those things. On those the brand name taste better.

I am not brand conscious when it comes to clothes, shoes and bags. As long as it suits me and is affordable and most of all comfortable, I will go for it if I need it. But when it comes to toiletries, facial stuff and food, that I am brand conscious. I don't simply buy anything like tin food that is cheap or any facial stuff that's cheap.

I'm not brand conscious at all. All I have to do is look at the label to see what the material is made of, and I'll have a pretty good idea by that, and the look and feel of the product if it is worth purchasing. Life is too short to waste money on brand names. If it looks good, feels good while wearing, and is affordable and not expensive, then I feel better about it. I'd rather do that then spend a lot of money on one item just because it carried a designer label. A designer label no one will likely ever see anyway.

I am pretty much brand consciense for the most part. I will only buy brand that I know or I used to, especially with clothes. As far as groceries go I have started buy other brands since they are on sale more often but that is about it.

Yes, I am usually very Brand conscious when shopping for food and expensive items. Many times after trying store brands and cheaper unknown brand products I was completely dissatisfied with the taste or quality.

yup, i always buy things with famous brand names so that i can rely on it that it has a good quality. i don't want to buy bargains or imitations even though they are cheaper they are also easy to be destroyed or less quality. most of the things i buy branded are clothes, shoes, gadgets, appliances, etc...
