Where do you stand on Brand names

[Gazzer]

For almost any given Branded product there are cheaper unbranded products...but how do they compare ?

It doesnt need to be tile related , it could be a well known brand of instant coffee up against a cut price jar ?

Do you stick to a branded name or buy equivalents ?

Just a random thought I had !.

Here is a start , Liquorice allsorts, seen them for £2 a bag...Lidl version 99p.....as good as the original.

Quite often on sites there is some cheap supermarket own branded coffee that's tastes better than a lot of the bigger named brands! For some reason I always buy the expensive stuff when it's my turn!

 

[peteablard]

A lot of supermarkets also do there own labelled versions of Mars/Snickers/Twix etc..... I swear some of them come off the same production line, I can't tell the difference

The other half won't change from Nescafe coffee, me, I do the shopping so I pick Tesco brand with most of the stuff which dos,nt taste any different but there is a Aldi opening round the corner in November so will giving there produce a try and some of there tools if I get my way.

Most of my tools are a branded name though.

I won't buy branded products anymore unless I have no other choice. I much prefer Lidl's own brand of everything, tastes nicer and quality is much better than the big 4's value ranges.

I know Lidl do a version of Bounty and very little difference but I can tell.

Ooops just let on I have a sweet tooth !

Aldi do "titan" bars, packaged like mars bars, taste so much better!

I tend to go for the cheaper stuff as its all coming from the same factory just different packaging. Some cheap stuff tastes like bad tho

Now I tried those a few years back but tasted of more nougat to me !

I would be more likely to buy branded tools than food products etc.

I think they taste juch better.

I always buy nescafe original. No other instant compares.

Asdas smart price range is cheap and usually very good. There cornish pasties have more meat content than Ginsters.

I think Aldi are ace, so much cheaper and the food tastes just as good, but you cannot skimp on:
Heinz Beans,Heinz Ketchup, Jolly Green Giant sweetcorn, and never buy the Aldi version of Cheerios, you may as well eat the box.

A lot of the own brand stuff is actually just the same but in a different packet. I remember many moons ago in a past life, I think it was Youngs fish fingers, were also making for a well known supermarket just in a different pack. The production manager told me they were the same product going in the boxes but the supermarket ones were just cheaper on the shelves.
