do you always buy the same brand every time or do you buy what is on special price in the shop at the time? I always stick to the same brand as i know that is what everyone likes who lives with me as well as the people who come to see me at my house.

We buy the same brands though most of the brands taste about the same. My husband and I haven't actually purchased the coffee or tea personally so we don't know how or if the price fluctuates.

She must have known the coffee was bad, oh no, I hope her plants don't wilt! lol though I suppose if they do she'll know not to get that kind of coffee or make it that same way again!

Hi Jugs! I try out a new brand now and then, especially if I find one on a freebie site. I've discovered new favorites that way, and learned what just isn't acceptable!

Thats a good idea getting freebies and trying them before you buy them.

I do buy the same brand and try the new ones. When I drink coffee I settle for what I am used to drinking and sometimes I want a little experiment for the taste , i try new one. I stock old and new ones , it depends on what my family wants to drink for a day. I can only stock two brands, its hard to choose if there are many.

I tend to stick to the same brands but if there is another brand on special that is the same or similar to what I normally buy, I'll get that instead to save some money.

I always buy the same brand for the same reason as you. I know that we already like it. If i get samples of other coffee or tea i will try it that way.

I have two brands that I switch between unless I am really low on money, then I will buy the cheapest or off brand.

When I buy coffee, I usually buy Tim Hortons's and before I discovered that, it was Maxwell House, and before that it was Nabob's. I did try a few in house brands or store brands, and I did receive a package of coffee beans to try out. However when i bought the name brands such as Maxwell House, I would try different roasts, that is, until I discovered I could buy Tim Horton's in Superstore and I have been with that for so long. With tea, I will buy the store brand, but I do not like Orange Pekoe, no matter what brand, and especially Lipton's.

Not always. It sort of depends if my usual type is at a reasonable price or not. I like MJB but I recently got a pachet in the mail with some new flavored Taster's Choice and I really liked it. I may buy that next time. Hazelnut would be my choice. Alittle cream and sugar and it does sound good.

I always buy the same brand of coffee for my Mother. It is the only brand of coffee that she drinks and it is a waste to buy anything else. I have two brands of tea that I buy with manufacturer's coupons whichever one I have a coupon on is the one that I buy. The grocery store doubles coupons and I can save a lot on the bos of tea.

There is a brand of coffee that I stick to because of its strong coffee flavor. Its also in granule form, which I find really makes a difference for me in terms of flavor.

I have tea and coffee for my guests. I by a different make each time and like it when one is on special offer. My mum loves tea so I generally buy a variety that she likes. I like to drink fruit juice. I buy pure pink grapefruit juice. I get those from Waitrose, Sainsburys or Morissons supermarkets.

When I buy coffee, I always buy the same brand--Nescafe, but when I buy tea, I don't insist on buying the same brand. I love to taste a different brand.

I prefer to buy the same brand of Green Tea from Lipton, distributed by Uniliver, Philippines. I decided to stick on the same brand to avoid my stomach from becoming upset in case my appetite cannot tolerate the new brand. I am not a coffee drinker.

I don't drink coffee myself but my mother always drank coffee when I was growing up and still does and I rememebr her always buying Maxwell House in the big blue can. Now there are so many different flavors and brands it would be so hard to choose. Although I must admit while I am not a coffee or tea drinker I still really enjoy going through that isle because it always smells so good LOL

I have favourite brands that I tend to stick to. I will buy a jar of something different if its on offer, especially if I have not tried it before. I will always stick to my favourite tea though, I think I have got used to it and really notice the difference if I change it.
