Not a snob, but know what I like and what works for me. So sometimes only preferred brands will do. For most things it's a case of buying what's on offer

I'll try unbranded products and stick with them if I like them.

Sometimes I'm disappointed and sometimes not.

The proper brands usually taste better than the supermarket cheapo brands. Had some cheapo version of weetabix the other week and they were horrible.

I experiment with products and try a lot of own-brands. I certainly don't buy branded medicine, such as aspirin or paracetamol, where you pay about 50 x as much as the generic same stuff.

There is a thread on snobs, where some have mentioned adherence to branded items only too.

Some brands I avoid like the plague. Cadbury's is a welcome one that I don't though. Other chcoc can work well too, but mainly stick with cads.

Has to be Heinz tomato ketchup, salad cream & beans ~ other groceries like cereal I'll try the supermarket brand out, to me things weetabix tastes the same regardless who made them.

Alot of things are the same product. Iv worked in various food production places in the past, thepackaging is changed at the end of an order, say waitrose or M n She's, but the stock on the line is just the same, and continue with tesco own brand packaging. Sothe ddifference in price is for the name on the packaging, well I don't eat that bit! Some are different, as mentioned above, fake weetabix are rank, but I prefer cheap beans, x

Whatever's cheapest usually. Apart from baked beans, ketchup and coffee. That's because my preferred ones do taste different to me.

Guess my Bro is either not as smart, or just a real snob, and is the label he's worried about not the taste! Lol

No, I actually prefer some of Aldi's products over brand names. Orange chocolate covered cakes that are found in the biscuit aisle come to mind. I mentioned cake and biscuits, do I win a prize?
