Default Off Brands VS. Named Brands

Off brand companies must be seeing an increase in their profit margins. I mean with everyone doing what they can to save their money or stretch it as far as possible, I would imagine that people are choosing to purchase off brand items to help them on their way to saving money.

I know this is something that I do. Personally I believe that 90% of the off brand name products are just as good and some even better than those which are named brand.

I mean most of the time all that we are doing is buying a name and that it about it.

I would much rather buy a product that I like rather than just a damn name. Granted there are a couple of products which are named brand that I do buy, however they are few and far between.

I still save myself a whole lot of money when I go shopping because I don't have to purchase those names. Monthly I save myself at least $100.00 by buying off brand named items for my home. Now that is a savings that I can put to a much better use like paying bills, house repairs, and little things like BINGO!!!!

Default Re: Off Brands VS. Named Brands

Noname brands and off brands are two totally different things for the most part.Everything that is used to make a name brand item is replaced with some other material in a no name brand.

The price difference is usually extreme and so you want to purchase the cheaper one but be very careful when determining what to buy that is no name brand.

Some things are not worth saving the money on and some are,you have to make the individual determination for yourself.
